Reactions to Varying Methodologies
Prior to completing this discussion, please read the Hudson-Barr (2004) article and Chapter 18 from the Lerner (2002) e-book required for this week. For your initial post, the class will be split into three groups by first letter of last name with each group reading and commenting on an assigned article. Please see below for your assigned group.
Last name begins with:
A through I: Baillargeon, R. (1987). Object permanence in 3½- and 4½-month-old infants. Developmental Psychology, 23(5), 655-664. doi:10.1037/0012-1649.23.5.655
J through Q: Bandura, A., Ross, D., & Ross, S. A. (1961). Transmission of aggression through imitation of aggressive models. Journal of Abnormal & Social Psychology, 63(3), 575. Retrieved from the EBSCOhost database.
R through Z: Forstmeier, S., Drobetz, R., & Maercker, A. (2011). The delay of gratification test for adults: Validating a behavioral measure of self-motivation in a sample of older people. Motivation & Emotion, 35(2), 118-134. doi:10.1007/s11031-011-9213-1
Read your assigned article with a specific focus on the methods utilized for the study. In your initial post, you will identify the research question(s) and/or problem(s), the target population and sample (specific group within the target population), the measures (tests, instruments, and/or questionnaires used), and the procedures (how the study was conducted) presented in the article.
Using the identified elements, evaluate and comment on the benefits and limitations of the methodology utilized to study the scholarly perspectives presented in your assigned research article.
Analyze ethical considerations by addressing any issues or concerns arising from the methodology presented. Are there perceivable biases in the research methods or procedures?
Were the ethical considerations clearly addressed in the study and/or discussed with regard to the treatment of the sample?
Propose solutions or suggestions for how to adapt the methodology in the assigned article to address any ethical concerns or limitations noted.
Describe how these changes would address the limitations of the study as well as any ethical concerns. Also note the current relevance of the changes and their application to developmental trends and practice,.

Determine the increase in capacity that might be expected
: A jacketed kettle is used for concentrating 1,OOO lbmasdh of an aqueous salt solution using steam at 250°F. The concentrated solution boils at 220°F.

|
What temperature should this thermocouple indicate
: A single pane of glass @c = 0.50 Btu/(h ft OF)] 1/4-in. thick separates the air in a room which is at a mixing cup temperature of 700F from the outdoors.
|
|
The different variables in research and their implications
: Discuss the importance of identifying the different variables in research and their implications to the research project.
|
|
What is the gas temperature at the thermocouple in of
: A thermocouple inserted in a long duct reads 2WF. The duct runs through a furnace that maintains the duct walls at 3WF. Inside the duct a nonabsorbing gas.

|
The methodology utilized to study the scholarly perspectives
: Evaluate & comment on the benefits and limitations of the methodology utilized to study the scholarly perspectives presented in your assigned research article.

|
Estimate the true temperature of the air
: Air is flowing steadily through a duct whose inner walls are at 800°F. A thermocouple housed in a 1-in. OD steel well with rusty exterior indicates.

|
Explain human development in the context of the situation
: What potential effects would themes such as the client's culture, ethnicity, family, education, and gender have on the situation and recommendation(s)?
|
|
Calculate the direct radiant heat transfer
: Calculate the direct radiant heat transfer between two parallel refracting black surfaces 12 by 12 ft spaced 12 ft apart, if the surface temperatures are 1300°F
|
|
Is the assumption of stagnant air a good one
: A window consists of two layers of glass, each 1/4 in. thick, separated by a layer of dry, stagnant air, also 1/4 in. thick.
