Instructions:
Select an information-based program on television or the radio approved by your teacher. (Public television or radio talk shows offer numerous selections.)

Watch or listen to fifteen minutes of programming while relaxing on your bed, a couch, or the floor. Feel free to play music in the background or work on other activities. Then, for the next fifteen minutes, eliminate distractions and focus intently on the program. After the entire thirty minutes is up, write down the differences between the strategies you used during the first fifteen-minute segment and the second fifteen-minute segment. Then give answers for the following questions:

What was different in your behavior during each fifteen-minute segment?
Did you change your posture in the second fifteen minutes? How?
Which of the four strategies did you use in the first segment? The second segment?
How did the differences in approach to listening affect how much you remember from each segment?

(adapted from m. m. duguid and j. a. goncalo, living large: the powerful overestimate their own height. ) in a study of power and self-image, participants were not told the true purpose of the study; instead, they believed they were participating in a business simulation. researchers randomly assigned participants to a high power(n = 44) or low-power (n = 44) condition. in the high-power condition, participants recalled a time when they had power over others, and in the low-power condition, they recalled a time when others had power over them. participants were asked to adjust the height (in centimeters) of an electronic graphical image (an avatar)of themselves to reflect their personal appearance. results indicated a statistically significant difference in participants’ perceptions of their own height across the two conditions. participants in the high-power condition created taller self-images (mean = 6.0, standard deviation = 1.5) than participants in the low-power condition(mean = 4.0, standard deviation = 1.0). * describe independent variable- describe how researchers measured the independent variable- explain why the researchers can conclude that there is a cause-and-effect relationship between the independent and dependent variables. - explain what statistical significance means in the context of the study.- explain why debriefing would be necessary in the study. -
