CE 499 Bachelors Capstone in Early Childhood Development

The Unit 9 Final Project is the development of your Early Childhood Professional e-Portfolio based on the BS in Early Childhood Development course/program outcomes. The e-Portfolio highlights the professional tools you developed throughout the course to demonstrate how you have met the course/program outcomes.

Please make sure you give all the required information in the annotated bibliography: Motivation, research questions,  6-9 summaries (150 words the minimum), the MLA 8th citation format (the latest version), and describe your stakeholders in details.  Compared with your presentations, your personal project#2 draft should be much more narrowed down in one single context, instead of trying to cover too many contexts. 

Wirte topic follow the “how to protect interent privacy.” like a person or company to protect it.

You need to read the books I have given you inside the document, as well as in the Internet to find the relevant writing into the article inside.

Question 1

You want to determine whether the amount of coffee that “coffee drinkers” consume on a weekly basis differs depending on whether the coffee drinker also smokes cigarettes. You seek 20 volunteers from your college campus to participate.   Ten college students reported that they consume coffee but do not smoke cigarettes; these comprise the Coffee-Only group, or Group 1.  Another ten college students reported that they consumed coffee and also smoked cigarettes; these comprise the Coffee + Cigarettes group, or Group 2.  Then you ask them to monitor the frequency of 8 ounce cups of coffee they consumed over a seven day period.  The frequency of 8 ounce cups of coffee consumed in a week by each participant are listed below for each group.

Question 3

Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and recorded with the systolic number first, followed by the diastolic number.  You want to determine whether one’s systolic blood pressure differs depending on whether its measured while standing or supine (lying flat on one’s back).  You gather 12 college students willing to participate and then measure their systolic blood pressures in both positions, 10 minutes apart:  first standing (call this Condition 1), then supine (call this Condition 2). Their scores are below.

Question 4

A biopsychologist is studying the role of the role of marijuana (THC) on aggression in rats. Specifically, the researcher asserts that the influence of large doses of marijuana will make rats more aggressive. Twenty two rats are randomly assigned to one of two groups. The active ingredient in marijuana is called delta-9 THC. One group of 11 rats serves as a control group and receives a placebo (via injection). A second group of 11 different rats receives a large dose of delta-9 THC via injection. These rats have not been paired up on any trait. Then the researcher tests the animals by recording the number of aggressive responses each of the rats display in a 30 minute test period one hour after the rats were injected. The data are presented below, and represent the number of aggressive responses per rat in each group.

X1

Which hypothesis test needs to be employed here, the two-sample dependent t test or the two-sample independent t test?

A. dependent t test

B. independent t test

Question 5

Eight White adults had been convicted of crimes of hate for their anti-Asian behaviors and were asked to participate in treatment as part of their probated court sentences. Part of the treatment package consisted of watching a movie designed to increase tolerance and appreciation of cultural diversity. A “Diversity Attitude Checklist” (DAC) was completed by each participant before and after watching the movie. Using the pre and post movie DAC scores below, test the researcher’s hypothesis that the movie will result in an increase in tolerance and appreciation for cultural diversity attitude (raise DAC scores). High scores on the “Diversity Attitude Checklist” indicate more tolerance and appreciation.

A                               28                                            36
