Document Summary

Psych 1010 september 15, 2015: soldier form rural background adapted better in basic training than soldiers from the city. Coming from the country you"re used to the lifestyle of hard work. You are taught certain basic skills in the country at a young age not if you"re from the city. When you"re from the city you"re use to luxuries, hard to adapt when put into army camps: soldiers with high intelligence were more fearful in combat than soldiers with lower iq. The more intelligent you are, the more analytical you are more aware of the dangers and surroundings. Ignorance is bliss; lower iq people are more ignorant: all this is a lie, opposite results occurred. Researchers stay away from jumping to conclusions, lean more towards conclusions based on the results. Based on empirical data (based on things that they have seen directly) >(if findings support hypotheses) confidence in theory increases.
