Exercise 2e

Q After reading Chapter 1, look at the exercises at the end of the chapter (pp. 13-15 of the textbook). Part A Read again the 15 guidelines. Instead of giving a familiarity rating for each guideline, just choose 2 or 3 guidelines that were LEAST familiar to you. Which ones were they? What did you find most surprising in Chapter 1 when reading about these unfamiliar guidelines? Part B Read the attached article from a respected academic journal (this is one of the shortest articles I could find for you but hopefully, it is still very interesting and informative). Briefly answer each one of the 14 questions listed in Part B (pp. 14-15 of the textbook) when applied to this article. Make sure to write the question number before each of your answers. Feel free to attach your Word file when submitting this assignment to preserve the formatting. Points are taken off for submission after the due date.

Part A: Guideline 4, Researchers Use Less than Perfect Samples, was unfamiliar to me because I believed that researchers always attempted to use the best sample possible. The guideline tells us to be wary of research because samples may derive from small or specific populations. Another unfamiliar guideline was 2, that researchers often conduct their studies within laboratory settings. For instance, they may locate a study on student drinking behaviors in a campus laboratory.
