The goal of my observation was to observe if the resident students leaving or entering Robertshaw Hall prefered to use one side of the staircase, specifically if subjects prefered to use one side to go down or up. I was not looking for any particular variable other than the side they chose to go down or up. The staircase has two sections, one on the right side and one on the left side separated by a railing. (The left/right side is determined as if you are looking down the staircase from the top.) Several choices were made before I started my observation. First, I decided to do the observation outside of Robertshaw Hall from the picnic tables facing the staircase leading from the building to the lower parking lot toward Chambers Hall. My observation ran from the time of 2:20 PM to 2:50 PM. This time and place was chosen …show more content…
I decided to observe this particular behavior because I found that I myself always use the right side when I am going down this same staircase. I was curious to observe if others did something similar. Over the thirty minutes I observed students walk up and down the staircase, I observed that of the ways to use the staircase, (four in total: up the right side, down the right side, up the left side, and down the left side) that the majority of students used the right side of the staircase when going down the stairs, just like I normally did. A total of nineteen students used the staircase during the thirty minute time frame. Zero
Art is always a highly debated topic. What is art? What is artistic? Which is better poem or song? Music and poetry are both great ways to express artistic passion, and each have something a little different to from the other. Two greatly artistic pieces is the song “Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown Band, and the poem “Living Room” by david Yezzi. In this case, though it is a great piece, the song “Chicken Fried” by Zac Brown Band is not as artistic as the poem “Living Room” by David Yezzi. The use of similes, rhyme scheme, diction, symbolism, and just overall theme, truly makes “Living Room” the more artistic piece. Each have their pro’s and con’s, and each have powerful poetic devices, some more than others. Though both pieces have artistic grounds,
The lesson is about knowing the concept of place value, and to familiarize first grade students with double digits. The students have a daily routine where they place a straw for each day of school in the one’s bin. After collecting ten straws, they bundle them up and move them to the tens bin. The teacher gives a lecture on place value modeling the daily routine. First, she asks a student her age (6), and adds it to another student’s age (7). Next, she asks a different student how they are going to add them. The students respond that they have to put them on the ten’s side. After, they move a bundle and place them on the ten’s side. When the teacher is done with the lesson, she has the students engage in four different centers, where they get to work in pairs. When the students done at least three of the independent centers, she has a class review. During the review she calls on different students and ask them about their findings, thus determining if the students were able to learn about place value.
The setting of this observation takes place in a suburban home in southern Maryland. The home belongs to the grandmother of the subject. The day is before thanksgiving and there are a lot of family members present. Six people other than Imani are here; her older brother who seemed to be 2 years old, her male cousin who seems to be the same age as her, her grandmother, two aunts, an uncle, and her mother. There are three boys total and four females, including Imani. The home has three floors, with most of the activity taking place in the kitchen and family room. In the family room, there were couches, a tread mill, television, and a set of steps that lead to the kitchen. The kitchen has a table, an island, appliances,
When measuring the entrance lines to the two parks we collected data on people in groups of five. When measuring in terms of time we started the clock when the first person began the entrance process and stopped it when the fifth person in that same line made it through the gate. We made note of the group’s total time and the amount of males, females, and children (measured by the same criteria as above). We chose to record entrance times in terms of five person groups ...
The three sources Behind the Bedroom Wall, by Laura Williams, “Survivors of the Holocaust,” and “Last Letters of the Holocaust: 1941,” all have characters and people who realize that through catastrophic events, that family is very valuable in order to surpass discrimination. In “Behind the Bedroom Wall” the characters Korinna and her mom learn that they have to understand each other and cope with each other believes in order to get through this tough time. Korinna had to open her eyes to what is really happening in order to realize the true situation. For everyone this is a very emotional time for everyone because that nobody really knew what was happening or how to fix it, they were all just trying to fit into what they were supposed to

The study uses over 200 undergraduate students to focus in on the task at hand. Some participants were volunteers, whilst others were paid a fee. The experiments conducted on the 200+ participants observing a basketball activity for short periods of time. The studies begin in short intervals of approximately one minute, or a few seconds more. The conducted experiment of the basketball activity showed multiple players moving in an irregular pattern while passing a basketball in a relatively organized pattern. The players were on teams and wore different colored shirts while doing so, and the players only passed the ball to members of their same team. Participants of the experiment were asked to count the number of times in which the ball was passed, but after the test had finished, the participant was asked if they saw either the gorilla come through the elevator, or the tall woman with the umbrella. During this test, the majority of participants did not recognize the object that came into the room. This proved their theory of inattentional blindness, observers were so focused on counting the number of times the ball was passed between players, that they seemingly had tunnel vision, and completely missed the gorilla in the room. When asked about if they had seen the obscure factor, few responded with a “yes,” but most did not notice. After multiple experimenters questioned the
The two main factors of this experiment are flattery and compliance. The independent factor being flattery and the dependent factor being compliance. Since flattery is the independent factor, it is manipulated in order to elicit a change in compliance. In this experiment we will assign two levels of change to the independent factor; flattery and no flattery. The participants of the experiment will be first year university students. There will be 100 participants in total, 50 males and 50 females. Each participant is randomly assigned to either the experimental condition (flattery) or the control condition (no flattery). Factors such as the experimenter and the room in which the experiments are conducted will be kept constant as well. In order to eliminate other causal factors, the experimental environment would be kept constant for each participant. The lighting, temperature, and overall look of the room would be kept identical. The time in which the experiment is conducted will also remain constant. The time is designated at 10 in the morning, during days in which the participants do not have class. The participant would be led into the room by an experimenter. The experimenter would ask the participants in a neutral manner. With the same tone and facial expression, the experimenter would present the participant with a short personality-based survey. The survey involves questions such as age, workplace, and GPA. They are also asked to rate attributes about themselves, such as attractiveness, helpfulness, and intelligence. After the participant answers the question, the experimenter briefly excuses himself and leaves to read their personality profile. To operationalize the variable, the experimental group will be complemented before the experimenter asks them to proceed with an a computer experiment that will take an additional hour. The compliment that will be
In the next experiment, the infants were placed in the middle of the cliff and had the mothers on the other side of it and were calling out their child's name in order to encourage them to cross over from either the deep side or the shallow side. They experimented with different ages of infants, but the results showed that the older the child the more likely he or she was going to cross over to the mother by going through the deep side.

I was the only participant in the experiment. The experiment involved me walking down a street and dropping a bundle of papers. I would then go about collecting the papers while observing if any of the people around me would offer help. The experiments were structured to take place in two particular times of day. I would walk down the street early in the morning, when it was more likely that only a single person would be walking down the street. This would allow me to observe if a solitary person would offer help. I also picked the early afternoons to walk down the street and drop the papers. This would allow me to observe whether people within the crowd would offer help, or the bystander effect would dominate the situation.

The experiments were quite simple, in that there was a seemingly harmless task to be performed, and the participants were instructed to choose the estimation of the lengths of a line when compared to two ...
“You are to go up this set of stairs” —the man gesticulates toward an old staircase that I hadn't noticed before—“take a left down the second corridor you come to. Your Roommate Manager will meet you there.”
The place where I feel the most comfortable, and show my personality, is my bedroom. This is the place where I can really be myself and do what I want; it’s the place I come home to, and wake up every day. My room makes me feel comfortable because it is my own space. My house is always crazy, with my dog barking, and my siblings running around making noise, my room is the only place in the house where I can come and relax without caring about everything else, the only place that I can go to clear my mind.
