Don’t be creative by trying to come up with synonyms: use the words “happiness” and “job productivity”Happiness  Job ProductivityHappiness is correlated with productivity. Happiness and productivity are correlated.Happiness  Job ProductivityHappiness influences productivity. Happiness causes productivity. Happiness contributes to productivity. Happiness affects productivity.Suppose a study reveals that college students who drink more tend to get lower grades. What type of relationship does this represent?NegativeThere are exactly 3 (that is, 3 and only 3) logical possibilities why drinking and grades might be correlated. Lay 2 of them out (in words, as opposed to figures) in one sentence each.Drinking  Grades, Drinking influences(hurts) grades.Grades  Drinking, Grades influence drinkingDrinking  Irresponsible  Grades, Some third variable influences both drinking and grades.(Don’t use the same one twice, make sure to do different variables – third variable has to influence both)Imagine a well-conducted (albeit silly) experiment reveals that participants assigned to watch the video Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” were subsequently more likely to report that they intended to stay up all night ‘til the sun than participants assigned to watch some other equally engaging music video. Imagine further that the researchers first asked participants to report their attitudes toward watching music videos and they found that participants who reported more favorable attitudes toward watching music videos were more likely to report that they intended to stay up all night (than did those who reported less favorable attitudes toward watching music videos). Which (if any) of the following conclusions can be drawn from the results of the study?There is a relationship between watching the Get Lucky video and intending to stay up all night (G. L  Stay Up)YesWatching the Get Lucky video influenced students’ intentions to stay up all night (G.L.  Stay Up)YesThere is a relationship between favorable attitudes toward watching music videos and intending to stay up all night (Enjoy Videos  Stay Up)YesFavorable attitudes toward watching music videos influenced intentions to stay up all night (Enjoy videos  Stay up)NoDr. Watson believes people who are under stress will develop more colds than people who are not under stress will. When he randomly selects 10 initially healthy participants and exposes them all to high levels of stress, he finds that 6 of the participants develop colds. Based on these he concludes that stress leads to an increase in colds. Which, if any of the following, are flaws in Dr. Watson’s reasoning?There was no control groupThe research methods video described 3 characteristics that all experiments have in common (labeled i, ii., & iii., below) and I added a forth (iv)i.

If they draw an odd number, they spend an hour on social media. If they draw an even number, they spend an hour anywhere on the internet except at social media sites. At the end of the hour, students who were on social media report slightly but significantly more loneliness that students who were not on social mediaExperiment*******************************************************************Will be on EXAM 1 & 2, and On HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT 2*******It is well established that high school students who view more alcohol ads tend to drink more alcohol. Atkin (1990), for instance, found that whereas 46% of teens who were “heavily exposed” to beer ads reported drinking at least one beer in a typical week, only 29% of teens who were “lightly exposed” to such ads reported drinking at least one beet in a typical week. (Treat the correlation between exposure to beer ads and beer consumption as a given.) On the basis of this evidence, can we infer that exposure to beer ads influences beer consumption among teens? If so, explain why. If not, provide another explanation for the correlation.
