A research team is interested in studying the effects of television exposure on the development of social skills. What research method and design would you use for this study, and why? What are the ethical considerations for this type of research?
Homework Answers
I would use an experimental study.
An experiment is one where the researcher manipulates a specific variable to find it's effect on another variable.
Experimental studies can provide the strongest evidence about the existence of a cause-effect relationship.
The ethical consideration in experimental studies involve participant agreement to research studies, the relationship between the participant and the observer.
Please give me a thumbs-up if this helps you out. Thank you!

Sally is interested in studying the effects of maternal exposure to pollution on infant health. She would like to examine whether exposure to air pollution during pregnancy is linked to an increase in infant health problems. Which is the best option for the study design that should Sally use, and why? A. Sally should use an experimental design because it will allow her to make causal claims about pollution and infant health. B. Sally should use an experimental design because...

Consider a research question on HIV or Pre-exposure prophylaxis and what qualitative method you would use to answer that question. How would you structure that research project? What sampling framework would you use to recruit participants? Why would this be the appropriate strategy? What data would result from this study? What design considerations or limitations might you need to overcome?

I am interested in studying a rare disease that also is highly stigmatized and a long incubation period. I am interested in studying multiple exposures in a single study and I am interested in studying the association with those risk factors. Please tell me what study design would be best for this study, what the best recruitment method would be, and what bias i should be concerned about. should the study be retrospective or prospective? would the findings allow for...

Suppose your research team found a brand new gene that may be involved in the early stages of embryonic development. In studying this gene, your team manages to identify the promoter region and one enhancer region that is 1,000 kilobases upstream of the promoter region. To study this gene’s expression during embryonic development, would you choose to fuse a reporter gene, like GFP, with the promoter region or the enhancer of your gene of interest? Why would you choose that...

Scenario 2: Effects of Tea A group of researchers are interested in the potential anti-carcinogenic effects of tea. Given new reports of increased incidence of breast cancer in their town, they wanted to determine if there was any association between breast cancer and tea consumption as the exposure. They enrolled 25 women with breast cancer, and 50 women without breast cancer for their study. What type of study design was used? Place letter answer here: Ecologic study Cross-sectional study Case-control...

A research team explored whether a home visiting program implemented from 2012 – 2014 increased childhood immunizations in a large urban community. Program children were more likely to complete recommended immunizations at age 1 compared to the general population. Given the information provided, answer the following: What is the exposure and what is the outcome? What is the study design? Which study design would you use if you were conducting this study?

Question 17 5 pts Does sexsell? A marketing company, Spitzer Enterprises, is interested in determinirhether exposure to provocative images will cause people to spend more on clothing. To examine this hypothesis, researchers for Spitzer Enterprises conducted a study at a local university. After volunteering to participate in the study, participants were told to arrive at a campus laboratory at a given time. Upon arrival the researchers flipped a coin to determine whether participants would be exposed to provocat.ve or neutral...

II. Use the information provided below to answer the following questions: 1)You are interested in studying the relationship between exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) (which occurs mostly from consumption of contaminated seafood) and coronary heart disease (CHD) in the general population. You conduct a study where you recruit 30,000 population-based (i.e. not incarcerated or residing in an assisted living facility) older adults (age 65+ years) free of CHD, measure MeHg in their blood and follow them up for 10 years. Your...

You are interested in studying the effects of glucose on Gene X. Your hypothesis is that expression of Gene X will increase/decrease under high glucose conditions. To prove this, design 5 experiments using the following techniques: Reporter assay sensitivity assay EMSA blot In situ hybridization (IHC with probe for RNA) For each experiment, answer the following questions: What does the technique tell you (what does it measure)? How does this information help support your hypothesis (what part of the...

9.11 Movie lovers, Part I suppose A SOCIAL scientist is interested in studying what makes audience love or hate a movie. She collects a random sample of movies (genre, length, cast, director, budget, etc.) as well as a measure of the success of the movie (score on a film review aggregator website). If as part of her research she is interested in finding out which variables are significant predictors of movie succes, what type of model selection method should she...
