The Science of Psychology Chapter 1 - Part I: The Discipline of Psychology In this chapter we are introduced to psychology in terms of its history and its specialties. We will use this first assignment conference to explore some of the specialties in psychology. Your task in this first conference is twofold. First you are to visit the Websites below and explore some of the specialties in psychology. You are not choosing topics but sub- disciplines and areas of study. In your answer, tell us which one interests you most and why. Next you are to find a website related to the area that interests you most. Give us the URL and tell us a little about that Website. You may not repeat a related Website about one of the specialties that has already been posted. You may choose the same area as someone else. http://www.apa.org/careers/psyccareers/ (http://www.apa.org/careers/psyccareers/) http://www.psychwww.com/careers/ (http://www.psychwww.com/careers/) http://www.apa.org/students/ (http://www.apa.org/students/) Chapter 2: Part II: Psychological Research Use complete sentences and explain your answer 1.Children are shown differing levels of violence on television.

Rats are tested on maze memory after consuming either alcohol or saline solution. What is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? 3. One group of students is taught the "read, recite, review" system of studying, whereas another is taught rote memorization. Exam scores are compared. What is the independent variable? What is the dependent variable? Chapter 2 continued: Part III Psychological Research Fill in the blank: Use Ctrl C to copy the paragraph Ctrl V to paste it in your Discussion Board response. The most basic experimental design consists of two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The _______________________ receives the experimental manipulation, whereas the ________________________ group does not. Researchers must also ______________________________ define variables of interest. It is best practice to avoid ______________________ bias, or the possibility that a researcher's belief's will skew the results of the study. Using _____________________-blind (participants are unaware of their group assignment) or ___________________________-blind (both participants and researchers are unaware of participant group assignment) procedures can help reduce this bias.

Answer Below:
Chapter 1 - Part I: The Discipline of Psychology After exploring various specialties in psychology, I am especially interested in neuropsychology. Neuropsychology fascinates me as it focuses on information on the connection between mind features and behavior, presenting insights into how neurological factors impact cognition, emotion, and behavior. The website that I determined associated with neuropsychology is http://www.psychwww.com/careers/ This website offers valuable facts on careers in neuropsychology, consisting of activity opportunities, educational requirements, and professional improvement sources. It offers insights into the several settings in which neuropsychologists work, along with study institutions, hospitals, and rehabilitation facilities. Overall, this website serves as a precious useful resource for individuals interested in pursuing a profession (Salim et al., 2023). Chapter 2: Part II: Psychological Research 1. In the state of affairs where children are exposed to differing tiers of violence on TV, the independent variable is the extent of violence shown on TV. This variable is manipulated by researchers to examine its effect on the children's behavior. The children's level of aggression is the dependent variable which can be measured after the disclosure of the multiple levels of violence on television. Overall the examination of the children's aggression by watching the television helps to analyse how the level of violence impacts the children's behaviour. 2. The rats tested on the maze memory after drinking the alcohol and saline solution are considered as the independent variable. Especially when the rats consume alcohol or saline solution resulting in maze memory-specific performance. The rats' maze memory performance is the dependent variable because it helps to analyze how the rats behave after eating both alcohol and saline solution. Observing this rat maze memory overall performance helps to analyze the researcher and how it impacts cognitive function or memory retention in rats provides a deep insight alcohol on the cognitive strategies (Wang et al., 2023). 3. Evaluating the effectiveness of the” read, recite, and review, system helps in investigating rote memorization. The Independence variable is the learning technique implemented in each institution especially that includes how the students are instructed by the system to “read recite review” for memorization. These variables impact students' better examination ranking. The dependent variable is the examination score of the students which is measured and compared between the two variables to analyse the effectiveness of the system that helps in learning and better retention of the materials. The observation objectives support in method to score in the examination and develop better learning strategies for the student. The experiment helps Institutions to develop better strategies for the students to learn and memorize it more appropriately and score in the examination. Chapter 2 continued: Part III Psychological Research The _experimental group__ receives the experimental manipulation, whereas the _____control____ group does not. Researchers must also __clearly __ define variables of interest. It is best practice to avoid____confirmation____bias, or the possibility that a researcher's beliefs will skew the result of the study.Using __________single___________-blind (participants are unaware of their group assignment) or ____double_______________________-blind (both participants and researchers are unaware of participant group assignment) procedures can help reduce this bias.
