Every afternoon he gave 25 rats “soy food” and 25 rats “All Bran food”, and then had the rats run ten trials in a maze. He then counted the number of wrong turns each rat made on its way through the maze. He then compared the number of errors between the groups. Gavin is a graduate student who wants to know if time spent in school is associated with self-confidence. He gets a group of college freshmen, a group of college sophomores, a group of college juniors, and a group of college seniors and gives them all a self-confidence measure. He then has the same groups take the self-confidence measure 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-years later. He then compares the results. Marvin is a part-time college professor and part-time clinician who works with the geriatric population. He administers several memory measures to all 500 people (whom he will then teach his memory enhancement techniques) in order to establish their baseline memory. Ben is counseling Fennimore Jones in a small room in the neuropsychiatric hospital. Ben is a graduate student in clinical psychology and Fennimore is his client. Fennimore was admitted to the neuropsychiatric hospital when he came to the student health clinic complaining that he hears voices shouting obscenities at him, and confiding that he thinks he is going through a spontaneous sex change. After each session with Fennimore, Ben writes a report describing Fennimore’s verbal and nonverbal behavior and his interpretations of his behavior. Zou wants to know how people would react if they saw someone cheating in an unsupervised classroom during an exam. He arranges with a student to take the exam early, and then to come to class during the exam hour and retake the test in an obvious “cheating” manner. Zou makes sure to leave the class unattended several times. A hidden camera records how the other students react. Ada is testing the hypothesis that color preference can be influenced by associating a color with a pleasant experience, such as eating. This afternoon she is delivering a supply of red, yellow, blue, green and clear nursing bottles to the mothers of newborns who have consented to let their babies be subjects in her research. Ten babies suck out of red bottles, ten suck out of yellow bottles, ten suck out of blue bottles, ten suck out of green bottles and ten suck from clear bottles. She then measures the baby’s eye-tracking patterns to see how long they look at a variety of colors, to determine if they look at the color of their bottle longer than the other colors. The clear bottle is used as a comparison color. 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. Ed is an undergraduate psychology major. For his senior thesis, he is investigating the nature of the audience of pornography. This afternoon he is sitting in his car across the street from one of the pornographic bookstores in the area. He is taking notes on the sex, approximate age, and ethnicity of patrons as they enter and leave the store. Prof. Jones wants to know if the effects of her Depression Treatment will change over time. She gets a group of individuals who just started the Depression Treatment, a group who completed Depression Treatment 1-year ago, and a group that completed Depression Treatment 5-years ago. She then compares the results.
