In his paper “Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It,” Watson (1913) points out what he believes to be the main issues of psychology as a growing science. Watson explains that psychology is concerned with the analysis of complex mental states and processes and reducing them to simple elements. An alternative approach includes taking several simple elements and constructing complex mental states from those elements. In both cases, the significance of external stimuli is often dismissed in studies, which also means no significance is attributed to behavioral data. That is why Watson ...

Article Review on Financial Econometrics
For the article review assignment, I have chosen the article ‘Inflation and Real Stock Returns Revisited’ by Shu-Chin Lin, published in the refereed journal Economic Inquiry in 2009. The article addresses the topic of relationship between real stock returns and inflation, aiming to obtain the empirical evidence of the effect of different dimensions of inflation (including anticipated inflation, unexpected inflation, and inflation uncertainty) on the real stock returns.
The motivation for the study arises from the inconsistencies between the generalized Fisher hypothesis and the empirical findings of the previous studies that tried ...

The Title of the Article

The title indicates that the article is about morale and role strain of undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric clinical setting. However, Chen fails to specify the aspect of morale and role strain that the article seeks to deal with in the title. For instance, the title would have been more specific if it were stated as follows: causes of morale and role strain of undergraduate nursing students in a pediatric clinical setting. In this case, a reader would be able to tell that the article deals with the causes of morale and role strain. It therefore follows that ...

Connective tissue growth factor induces collagen I expression in human lung fibroblasts through the Rac1/MLK3/JNK/AP-1 pathway

Many lung inflammatory diseases present pulmonary fibrosis as one of the symptoms, which is characterized by shortness of breath, chronic coughing and discomfort in the chest. It causes modifications of the lung tissues due to overgrowth, hardening and scarring. This occurs mainly due to deposition of collagen, an extracellular matrix (ECM) protein, whose turnover is regulated by fibroblast. Fibroblast is an important cell regulator that is enlisted by a site of injury. This process is driven by release of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), platelet-derived growth factor, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-8/CXCL8.
Previously, fibroblast was thought to express no or very ...

While it remains debatable that money cannot buy happiness, money certainly can buy quality mental health medications and services. It also may buy a sense of feeling good about one’s self – or at least feeling better in comparison to poorer people. Living in poverty and living with a mental health issue are often comorbidities. Common mental disorders (CMD) such as major depression and anxiety are treatable only if a person suffering from these disorders is able to get access to mental health care. Sadly, this is not often the case for those living at the poverty level or ...

Although both studies are informative, the qualitative information provided by Saint et al. (2010) appears to be more difficult to understand than the quantitative information provided by Daud-Gallotti et al. (2012), most likely because of the differences in the nature of the data. Because qualitative information contains descriptive personal opinions from the participants, I find it difficult to use it for determining clinical practices based on that information. For example, it is mentioned that successful leaders were inspirational, but that does not provide the reader with sufficient guidelines to become inspirational.
Quantitative information appears to be more objective, so ...
