Dr. Martin wants to know if self-esteem changes over the life span. He gets a group of 20-year-olds and gives them a self-esteem measure. He then gives this group the self-esteem measure again 20-, 40-, and 60-years later. He then compares the results. Marcy administers a series of tests to individuals to see the relationship between age and income. She finds that there is a relationship between age and income of .58. Dee is an assistant professor who will teach introductory psychology for the first time next term. She has chosen some films to show to her class of more than 200 students, and is now preparing a questionnaire to administer to her students after each film. She thinks getting student reactions to the films will be helpful next time she teaches this class.
