Abstract

In this paper, we have studied the different types of information perception, such as color identification and reading speed. The research question is: “Is reading harder than identifying colors?” In order to investigate this problem, a quantitative study of the different levels of interference of reading or color identification in the Stroop test was conducted.
Research has demonstrated that when forced to perform an automated task, such as read the word ‘green’, it is more difficult when the word is printed in an alternative color, such as red, than when it is the same color as the word with ...

This paper shall focus on the impacts of violent video games ...

Abstract

The question of memory has been an interesting one in psychology for some time. Brown-Peterson hypothesized that distraction tasks have a role to play in how well our memory works, and that this can be measured by a simple task. This research uses a modified version of their experiment to assess their hypothesis. The task involves memorizing a three letter trigram and then taking part in a backwards counting task that was designed as a distractor. 112 participants took part in this experiment. They were asked to complete twenty control trials in which they had to continue counting backwards ...

Adequate physical activity has been shown to benefit older adults by reducing the risks for age-related physical degeneration including osteoporosis, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and a higher likelihood of falling (Tiedemann et al., 2011; Ewald et al., 2009). Exercise also helps alleviate depression (Lee et al., 2013). However, a sedentary lifestyle has increasingly become the norm among older adults. Inadequate physical activity is defined as engaging in moderate-intensity exercise for a duration that is less than the recommended 2.5 hours per week or failing to do moderate exercise for 30 minutes on most days of the week (Jancey et al., 2008; ...

Introduction

Physical inactivity is a leading cause of disease and disability the world over (Gregg & Rowell, 2002).
In order to reduce the risk of many diseases and chronic conditions, people need to increase physical activity levels. Diseases infest a body that is relatively dormant and inactive when it comes to physical activity (Wetzler & Cruess, 1985).
This report summarizes the findings of an intervention to boost the levels of physical activity of a person. The initiative aims at increasing an individual's physical activity, the upper arms muscles and the chest. This initiative is justifiable for someone whose body is flabby, non-muscular, out ...

INTRODUCTION

Physical activity is a much smaller priority among youth in America and other countries, including the UK (Brockman et al., 2010). These habits of a sedentary lifestyle most often translate into inactivity as an adult as well, increasing the risk of mortality and disease (Gustafson and Rhodes, 2006). Obesity and cardiovascular disease is often linked to inactivity in children, causing significant health problems for youth around the world (Cleland and Venn, 2010). More successful interventions promoting physical activity in youth must be found and implemented if youth health is to be improved.

Active play is one method in which physical activity ...

Introduction

The term ‘social robot’ has become popular in the modern world and is almost being integrated into the modern day cultural constructs as usual. Lamers & Verbeek (2010) maintain that social technology is meant to invoke emotional attributes and to engage the human mind in a way that exceeds what is physical. Lamers & Verbeek (2010) argue that a robot is man’s effort at recreating his own self and it is with this semblance that the conceptualization of human-robot interaction has been captured. Dating back from the 18th century, inventors and scientists alike have been making numerous attempts at making ...

Organizing an event at a national scale implies the alignment of considerable planning, strategic approach to participation list and logistical requirements, in addition to constant coordination for the implemented activities (Rutherford Silvers & Goldblatt 6).

An interview refers to a conversation that takes place between two people or more with questions asked by the interviewer. The interviewer often asks questions to elicit statements, facts and answers from the person or people being interviewed who are referred to as the interviewees. In journalism and media reporting, interviews are their part and parcel of operation even though interviews can also be used in situations like qualitative research. Interviews in research seek to describe and give meanings of central themes for subjects. Allen et al, (2011). Interviews are usually completed by the interviewer but this will depend with ...

- Strategies used in Multiple Triangulations
The participant’s observations have been considered important as a number of factors like document analysis, merger of interview surveys, direct observations and the participation of the observer are involved. On the same grounds, experiment, survey, film, pictures and biographical methods have been defined in the category of approaches in order to get the data from sources. Most of the interpretive sociologists prefer to utilize triangulated method to make their schemes as unrestricted for the people. This reflects that such sociologists are committed to rigor their data. In this context, they will have ...

Qualitative Research

Introduction
The field of social sciences is primarily concerned with making sense of the world around us. The question of how to study the social world, however, unleashes a number of intense philosophical debates. These debates chiefly revolve around ‘ontological’ issues, denoting ‘what is there to know about the world’. Ontological debates concern themselves with questions about whether the social world contains truths independent of human observation or whether it is human interpretation that gives meaning to phenomena. Hidden in this debate is the tension between qualitative and quantitative research methods and the tension over the use of numbers ...

Introduction

Social consensus information is one of the things that have influence on inter-group attitudes. However, the most essential thing is that there is a significance of the way in which individuals get into the group that provides the consensus information.

Introduction

The critics on Wikipedia are just a mere speculation; the Wikipedia is an otherwise “black book test”. The judgment inflicted on Wikipedia is baseless. Wikipedia does not dispute the scientist or the decision makers. Judging the information that was extracted from Wikipedia and claiming it is not accurate is not true. After all this information is extracted from the printed encyclopedia which derives most of its explanation from different materials which are accepted. For instance, information that the writer gave about swine flu is globally accepted. It is a fact that swine flu was not the first disease in the continent. ...

Abstract

The Stroop effect involves demonstrating a longer reaction time inherent in performing a more complicated task. The effects of conflict processing on reaction time is thought to be significant; the higher the level of conflict processing, the longer it takes for someone to react to that conflict. The current study measures response times based on four different exercises involving the reading of numbers and row length. The third exercise includes two levels of complexity (counting and number identification), as opposed to a single level of complexity with the remaining exercises. Eight pairs of subjects are tested for reaction time based on these ...
