Independent Variable Research Papers Samples For Students

Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) is an analysis technique that is applied to two variables in order to determine the strength of relationship between the two variables. This determines how the variables change together. This data analysis technique employs a general linear model. This means that is combines the analysis of variance as well as regression analysis to one data set. One of the variables to be tested has to be an independent variable while the other variable needs to be a dependent variable. The analysis determines the variance of the means of the dependent variable as compared to the independent variable ...

Generalizability

Husserl distinguishes procedure of generalization and specialization of procedures of formalization and deformalization. Generalization is the transition from the spirit to higher on the tree of generic entities and formalization - a "meaningful generalization in a purely formal logic." For example, the transition from "red" to "sensory quality" is a generalization, and the transition from "red" to "adjective" or "chalk" to "beings" or "existing" is a formalization. Similarly, deformalization is filling the empty logical form something meaningful and specialization - descent of the tree of generic.
Examples of both we find in mathematics. Example of formalization: the transition from an intuitive understanding ...

Causal Design

The research on offenders and empathy will employ the research design of causal design. This is because the research is an explanatory research with a focus on the why question. For instance, it is quite often to link lack of empathy with crime or in that case with offenders. Thus, say to examine the trends of crimes in relation to empathy among the offenders as well among the non-offenders. It is then quite usual to develop an explanation why crime rate increase among inhuman or empathy-less individuals, why crime is less among empathetic individuals. Additionally, why are some crimes more ...

Determination of hypothesis

Apparently, the most important hypothesis among the three generated assumptions is the one concerned with security. The exact hypothesis is: The U.S. immigration reform policy circa 2001 to present has not improved the security situation. Apparently, the most prominent concern of the U.S government, when designing such legislation as that relating to immigration, is security. The illegal immigrants are generally associated with such evils as drug trafficking, human trafficking as well as terrorism (West & Brookings Institution, 2010). As such, the effectiveness of the U.S. immigration reform policy circa 2001 to present can only be evaluated by the much the ...

Dependent and independent variables

The dependent variable that can be observed from the articles is the use of the death penalty for crimes committed in China. China is well known for their harsh sentences for many criminal offenses. Capital punishment is the universal rule, thereby causing the country to execute many people per year. The independent variable can be observed to be a cause of the dependent variable, which is the effect.
The first independent variable is murder crimes that are punishable by death penalty. In China, they have strict laws when it comes to any crimes related to murder. Examples of these ...

Introduction

Homeland Security faces many distresses day in day out managing to outmaneuver some, and some are just inevitable. However, among them is one that is advancing at a dangerous rate: cyber security. The heightened growth rate is because of the high rate with which technology is advancing. The internet, which consists of billions of interconnected computers, has just increased the potential of this “goblin”. Cyber security has been on our necks ever since networking came to life. Once the information goes on board the network, its safety is no longer guaranteed. It is prone to compromise any time and once ...

Introduction

The issue of immigration has become very controversial in the last two decades. This controversy has come in light of drastic changes and reforms to the nation’s immigration policies from the year 2001 when the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened. The controversy on the issue of immigration reforms has emanated from the fact that there are those in the society who are in favor of the enacted policy reforms while there are those who vehemently oppose the enacted reforms. However, this paper has committed itself not to analyzing this debate or controversy associated with the immigration reform circa 2001, ...

In this study, these variables will be explored, and various descriptive statistics will be explored between the dependent variables and the independent variables. In this study, these variables will be explored and the correlation between the dependent variable, age, which ...

Introduction

In a research, extraneous variables may cause an effect on the dependent variable. The purpose of a well-designed study is to ensure that the change in the independent variable does not arise from “extremity” (Campbell, 2007). Notably, researchers use various ways to ensure that the change in the independent variable is caused by the independent variable alone. Similarly, the researchers have a desire to carry out objective studies. Thus, unnecessary variations must be avoided.

Random assignment

In the case of subject variables, the effect on the dependent variable is controlled through random assignment. The common examples of subject variables include age and body weight ( ...

Introduction

In the starting years of twentieth century the world population reached to million people and it can be said that developing countries were the major contributors. Asian countries including china contributed to 80% of the total population growth in the world. Majority of the researchers believe that population growth is strongly connected to the economic development in a country. It is also deemed the relation between these two is a close one and in other words it can be said that population plays an integral role in economic growth (Bloom 1997). There is a wide range of argument about the impact of ...

The usefulness of a study or research is usually dependent on the accuracy and level of confidence of the findings. This will be subject to the procedures and steps as well as the variables used when carrying out the research. The level of accuracy and confidence of a research is determined by its validity; which is the level with which correct inferences are made from the research study results. A researcher always considers the confidence that all observations are from the given variables and the research was not manipulated. Such a kind of confidence shows the internal validity. Researchers use outcomes of ...

Attitudes and Beliefs of Hypnosis amongst Mental Health Professionals and the Impact on the Availability of Hypnosis Training in Counseling Training Programs

Abstract

Nine out of ten general practitioners are approached by their patients for information regarding alternative and complementary therapies, including hypnotherapy, and three out of four GPs provide referalls for hypnotherapy (Hall & Giles-Corti, 2000). A minority of healthcare providers, however, has ever received formal education and training in hypnosis, and a majority relies on lay information from the media and other non-authoritative sources to form its opinions about the merits or demerits of hypnotherapy.

Explain the difference between multiple independent variables and multiple levels of independent variables. Which is better?

It is important to note that design experiment requires researchers to decide on the type of dependent variable that they should use in their respective study and distinguish the same from the independent variables. However, every research ought to have a single dependent variable, but the independent variables can be many, an aspect that makes the independent variables be considered as parameters. Therefore, for our case, multiple independent variables indicate the use of many parameters in conducting a study. For example, if we take a survey to find the extent of obesity in a given area, and take the ...

In our research we will focus on factors which affect car prices in United States. One can easily argue that the price of a particular car depends on model of the car, the year it was manufactured, its mileage, engine capacity, horsepower, fuel consumption, etc. Our study will include only 2 main factors which are believed to influence price of the car the most – its regular age and mileage.
We realize that many other factors except age and mileage influence the price of the car, therefore, in ...

There has been mixed reaction on the determinants of the annual income of truck drivers in the US. Women lobby groups argue that gender significantly determine wages in the US trucking industry to support their claims of gender discrimination. On the other hand, trucking companies in the US have maintained that wages of truck drivers are solely determined by the number of jobs assigned to a truck driver and the number of days spent on travel by the driver. This study sought to examine if gender, the number of jobs assigned to a truck driver and the number of days spent ...

Abstract

This paper explores how research methodologies can be used to resolve organizational issues. Using Starbucks as the company of focus, this paper discusses the qualities of qualitative and quantitative research and how they can be used for investigation and analysis in an organizational setting. It is hypothesized, for instance, that the decline in Starbucks’ sales as well as the poor performance of some of its stores is due to poor customer service. The concept of customer service, however, is too abstract to measure directly. However, this hypothesis can be determined using qualitative research methods as opposed to the quantitative ...

The modern day business environment has numerous dynamics that present organizations with both opportunities and challenges. To this end, Babbie (2013) provides that managers are always striving to understand the business environment to track any changes and trends to develop and implement the appropriate responses where necessary. In this regard, social research has become an essential business practice as it helps organizations to keep track of the market environment. Shipman (2014) advises that it is essential for business managers to utilize the appropriate social research methods to ensure that they get an accurate view of changes and trends in ...

Introduction

Compliance is social influence where an individual does what someone else requests. Past studies have found multiple social compliance techniques. The most common of these are the Low-Ball strategy, Door in the face strategy and Even a penny will help strategy. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of each of these techniques in trying to get donations from people. In the current study the first independent variable was compliance strategy (Control, Low-Ball, Door-in-the-face, Even a penny will help), the second independent variable was showing a donation receptacle (full jar, empty jar), and the dependent variable was compliance operationally ...

Hypothesis and Methodology

The proposed research paper will focus on the social psychology, specifically on the topic of how deep voices can influence an individual’s perception of another person (i.e. the speaker). This can be assessed in both public and private and formal and informal settings. The rationale behind the decision of choosing this topic is the fact that society puts a lot of weight into figures of authority.
It is commonly perceived that the deeper a person’s voice is, the more authoritarian that person is. In some cases, the depth of voice is associated with personality types (i.e. how ...

Introduction

In this paper, we will describe and discuss the application of statistics and probability theory to a real world problem. Our goal is to develop a research question, collect the appropriate data, and examine it by applying various statistical techniques. The topic of our research is body fat percentage.
Most people consider weight as the most important indicator in assessing the state of their figure. However, it is not always correct to determine the effectiveness of the diet or intensity of physical activity, focusing only on the body mass index. There is another measurement, which is much more important: ...

1. What is the purpose or hypothesis of this research?
The goal of the study conducted by Falco and Martin in 2012 was to understand how students who may potentially work in the criminal justice system see the use and application of punishment should be. In other words, do these potential criminal justice employees believed that punishment should be used more or less? The importance of knowing this, according to the authors, is that such perception can impact on how they see offenders and how or up to what extent the latter should be punished.
2. What ...

Abstract

Own race bias is a variable that has been discussed in numerous studies and researches. Its importance and limitations have been some of the focus of those previously published articles. The objective of this paper is to present a unique study that aims to verify whether own race bias still carries the same effect when it comes to memory, recall, and recognition (of faces) when it gets paired with another independent variable which is school affiliation. Using empirical evidences obtained from the current research’s implementation, the researchers were able to verify that the respondents’ ability to memorize, recall, and recognize ...

Introduction

The emergence of electronic-mediated communication has changed the face of written communication through a number of ways. For example, teenagers now modify conventional English punctuation to suit their tastes when using online and mobile communication platforms such as the email, text messaging and instant messaging. Although a number of scholars have researched whether these texts reflect written and spoken language, a lot is unknown about the existence of gender differences when responding to text messages. This is the reason why this study examines whether males and females differ in the way they respond to text messages. Specifically, the study addresses the question ...

Introduction

Alcohol and tobacco abuse is a prevalent occurrence among college students. The discrepancy that exists between college students and the non-college counterparts on the abuse of the two drugs is huge. College environment among many factors predisposes this tendency (Alters and Schiff 65-70). Peer interaction also contributes to this tendency especially for the freshmen who would like to quickly adapt in to the new environment and find the niche. Peer involvement may influence the everyday life of the freshmen, which if not controlled will lead to indulgence in drug abuse. This paper would like to explore what has been neglected ...

Introduction

The members of the LGBT community continue to suffer discrimination all over the world. Interestingly, the level of discrimination varies greatly from one nation to another. For example, Western Nations are more tolerant to homosexuality compared to Middle Eastern Nations, in general. Such variation in the level of discrimination suggests that there are governing factors that determine the perception of people towards homosexuality, making it an interesting topic in psychology. In order to fully understand how the perceptions of people towards homosexuality vary, it is important to set some variables and study them. There have been diverse studies performed ...

Trust in Negotiation

Introduction
Trust is a relationship that exists between two or more parties whereby the trustor gives the right to the trustee to hold title to an asset or property for the well-being of the third party (Docherty & Jayne 2004). In a negotiation process there exist two types of trust namely living and testamentary trust. Living trust shows effects during the lifetime of the trustor while testamentary comes through the will of the deceased individual. The study by Ury and William (1993) shows that trust can apply in negotiation if the party benefiting is under age or is mentally disabled. ...
