She finds that a vast majority of her participants, regardless of group assignment, are rated as very aggressive.

This outcome would be known as a <u>ceiling effect.</u>

In psychology, the ceiling effect is when a test establishes a range too low for measuring certain variable, that is to say, is when the upper limit (ceiling) of the test is too low, inadequate and not enough for the participants that the test is evaluating.

In this case, the participants are supposed to respond differently since some played violent video games for 5 minutes and other group played for 25 minutes. Since the outcome was that the majority were rated as "very aggressive", it's an indicator that they weren't tested adequately: the range was low, and therefore, it made it easier for some participants to get the score "very aggressive".

d. frustration-aggression principle.

Explanation:    

Frustration-aggression principle: In psychology, the term frustration-aggression principle or theory was first introduced by Sears, Dollard, Mower, Doob, and Miller during 1939. The theory or principle describes that an individual who faces frustration will often lead to display certain aggressive behavior.

Therefore, it is not necessary that frustration will lead aggression always so, an individual tries to suppress it a lot of time as he or she feels that it is not ethical or right or maybe he or she fears to face the social results of getting aggressive.

In the question above, the given statement represents the "frustration-aggression principle or theory.

What are the main rules of writing a will? Check all that apply.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

A) In most states, you must be eighteen or older.

B) The document must clearly state that it is your will.

E) A will must be written in sound judgement and mental capacity.

F) An executor must be named to oversee the distribution of the estate

Explanation:

The testament (from the Latin testario mentis, which means "testimony of the will") is the legal act by which a person disposes for after the death of the owner (which may be a family member or a person to whom he has esteemed) ) of all or part of their assets. It is not synonymous with making a dedication. Some authors maintain that it does not come from "testario mentis", but that its origins are found in the word "testis", for which reference is made to the witness; that is to say, the testament has no meaning as a material expression of will, but is an act in which this will is attested. The testament also admits non-patrimonial acts, such as the recognition of children.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

The climate regions of the central and south america can be divided into four distinct regions which are tropical, arid, dry and cold climatic zones.

Explanation:

The tropical climate zones of the region produce both rain forests and the tree-dotted grasslands known as savannas. Rain forests are abundant in Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. Savannas are found in South America. Central America has an overall humid, tropical climate with distinct dry and rainy seasons throughout the region.

An isthmus is 'a narrow strip of land surrounded by sea which connects two larger landmasses'. South America can be divided into four major climatic regions—tropical, temperate, arid, and cold.
