Suppose you were going to create your own study to examine what course-delivery format (online, blended, or face-to-face) leads to the best performance in a psychological statistics class. In a paper identify the following for your study:
What is your research question?
What is your hypothesis (both null and alternate)?
Is this a qualitative or quantitative design (based on type of variable collected) and why?
Is this a descriptive, correlational or experimental design and why?
What would be an example of a variable for this study that could be measured on a nominal scale? Ordinal scale? Interval scale? Ratio scale?
Once you have collected your data, would you use inferential or descriptive statistics and why?
Create a sample frequency distribution for one of the variables. Choose either a simple or grouped frequency distribution and explain your choice.

Discuss verbal and non-verbal forms of communication. Because we communicate about 50% of the time without ever saying a word, how can non-verbal communication be misinterpreted, and what steps can we take to avoid this—particularly because business is global and cultures are different around the world?
The textbook (see “Psychological Science” chapter 2) explains briefly what a correlation is, how surveys contribute to research, and some of the dangers to watch out for.
First look in the chapter on Psychological Science (chapter 2, section 2.2), and review the section on Correlational Research: Seeking Relationships Among Variables (or page 29 in this chapter). This will give you more information about the nature of correlations and why we have to be careful with them.
Then, take a look at the following URLs:
http://www.shadowspace.com/psi/icecream.html
Next, answer the following questions:
1) First, tell us what a correlation is (you may define this according to your textbook, but be sure to put this information in quotes and cite the chapter and page number. )
2) Tell us a little about Dr. Hirsch’s research. What did he do? What did he find? Why might Dr. Hirsch’s research be important?
3) Based on what you know about correlations, what problems do you see with Dr. Hirsch’s research?
4) Do the websites provide a basis for asserting that your personality determines your ice cream preference?
Note that the articles identify Dr. Hirsch as a psychiatrist and a neurologist, not a psychologist.
A Stimulus for Health Information Technology in Health Care Organizations
Write a 1-to 2-page paper that addresses the following:
You graduated from the college only 1 year ago, and you are now the victim rights advocate for your county prosecutor’s office. When you entered the criminal justice program, you never dreamed that you would have a career helping victims of crimes to navigate the criminal justice system. Your duties include everything from comforting a victim of a sexual assault to helping the families of murder victims. Already, you have had opportunities to help so many people, and this type of work makes you feel proud of what you do. You are so proud, that it is all you speak about to your families and friends. So when Grace, the chief attorney, asks you to do something, you try to do your absolute best. The following assignment is no different.
Grace, the chief attorney (CA), asks you to draft a report that she will use in her presentation to the county commission. Her goal is to keep the victim witness assistant positions that currently exist and increase the number of these positions in the future. She knows that providing victim advocacy is a relatively new concept to the criminal justice system and that the commissioners are not familiar with the concept that the criminal justice system should take a more active role with victims.
Grace needs you to provide information from 8 of the following 12 areas of discussion:
• Give a definition of victimology.
• What is the history of victimology, and how has it developed?
• Explain how it is different from criminology, sociology, or psychology.
• Who established the first safe houses for battered women? Where and when were these safe houses established?
• Who established the first rape crisis centers? Where and when were these centers established?
• How has the Civil Rights movement contributed to antidiscrimination efforts and the establishment of hate crime legislation and policy?
• What role have children’s rights groups played in highlighting the problems that child victims face in the criminal justice system?
• Which organizations might she contact that provide specific advocacy for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, and homicide?
• What services are not provided by government crime compensation programs?
• Explain the need for all states to require mandatory reporting by religious organizations of child abuse by clergy.
• How can the media be used to affect change in states that do not yet require mandatory reporting?
• Research the clergy abuse in a state of your choice, and answer the following:
o If mandatory reporting exists, how long has this been a requirement? What organizations are involved in tracking and helping the victims with this type of abuse?
o If mandatory reporting does not exist, what alternative processes exist for reporting clergy abuse?
