Document Summary
Chapter 1: suppose that we design a study that involves following heroin addicts around and noting the context within which they inject themselves and the kind of reaction that results. (1. 4-6) In this hypothetical study, what would the population of interest be? a: how would we define our sample? c. Relationships between variables: studies look at how one variable is affected by other variable. For instance, a study could be studying the relationship between the number of ice cream sold in and number of drowning incidents. For instance, a study could be studying the difference in ice cream sold in the winter and summer. Chapter 2: we trained rats to run a straight-alley maze for food reinforcement. All of a sudden, one of the rats lay down and went to sleep halfway through the maze. What does this say about speed used as an index of motivation: pliner and chaiken (1990) studied the social desirability of behavior.
