Imagine a study where participants were given Jell-O shots to consume before participating in experiments where reaction time wa

s measured. However, to the participants’ surprise, the Jell-O shots were not made with alcohol. When the participants were debriefed and told that the Jell-O contained no alcohol, some participants refused to drive home until they had sobered up.

Answer:

The correct answer to fill in the blank in this question: The participants´ responses indicate that ____ was a threat to internal validity, would be: Placebo effect.

Explanation:

A person´s mind, and perception, can be more powerful than reality itself. As such, if a person is convinced that something is happening, or that something is real, it will be very difficult to convince them otherwise, even in the face of fact and proof. The use of the placebo effect, counts on these principles. When a person believes that something is actually happening, like in this case believing that they were given jell-o shots, with alcohol, when in truth the shots did not have any alcohol, they will act according to what they believe. And even when they are shown that this is not the case, they are shown the truth, the mind still believes what it originally perceived as real. This is the placebo effect and it is used for several treatments, especially in addictions, and wrongful behavior, to try and "cheat" the mind and its processes. These people refused to drive, even after having been told the truth, because their minds refused to believe that the shots did not have any alcohol, as they had probably experienced before. Memory, and perception of a previous experience, led this placebo effect to take force much faster than if there had not been any.

Which of the following describes the type of deformation experienced by rocks before an earthquake? Which of the following descr
yarga [219]

Answer:

b.slow deformation

Explanation:

The type of deformation that is experienced by the rocks before an earthquake is a slow deformation. This slow deformation is due to some resistance to the slippage movement along the fault lines. This slippage movement is naturally occurring. The slow deformation starts to take place when their is resistance to this slippage movement and as a result of this resistance, elastic strain energy is created. This build up strain causes this slow deformation and eventually leads to an abrupt release of energy in the form of an earthquake.

Compare rules you may follow at home, at school, or at work. As you cross internal boundaries each day, why would each of these
Degger [83]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Compare rules you may follow at home, at school, or at work. As you cross internal boundaries each day, why would each of these places have separate sets of rules?

At home, absolute I have to follow family rules. They are basic but non-negotiable. More than rules, these are principles that are base on love and commitment.

But when I am at school, yes, there is a set of rules on how to behave in class and on the premises, and how to correctly relate to each other, It is a challenge. It is my personality, behavior, and customs versus other students' and teachers' ideas. It is not an easy thing to do.

The workplace is something similar but with professional connotations. As pro people say, it is a job and you have to behave like one because the consequences are tough.

So it is true that we have to obey a different set of rules, according to the place we are.
