Please label your answers with the appropriate letter for each part of the question. A different group of psychological researchers think that differences between various cities’ economic successes is due to citizens in those cities having more or less amounts of courage. To study this, they posted a survey online that looked like a Harry Potter Sorting Hat Quiz so that people rated how they’d respond to courage-related scenarios. They also asked people to rate how likely they’d be to make economic risks, like starting a new business. (a) What type of study design is this? Be specific. (1 pt) (b) If you turned this study into an experiment, what would your independent variable be? (1 pt) (c) If you turned this study into an experiment, what would your dependent variable be? (1 pt) (d) What is one strength and one weakness of experimental study designs? (2 pts)

Based on the image below, please label the following parts of a neuron using the box of terms below. Please be aware that you will only use terms in the box once and that there are many distractor terms included in the box that will not be used.   A (the starting parts). B (the entire length). C (the ending parts). D (the bright orange part). E (the large tan part). F (the tan part between the orange parts).   If any of these areas are unclear about what they’re pointing to, please make sure to describe that in your answer for possible partial credit.

Two professors disagree about whether overall amount of time spent studying or student’s type of studying will improve their learning the most. They decide to each encourage their classrooms to do either more hours of studying or different types of studying. These professors both explain to their students which study method they are encouraging and tell them they’ll be collecting surveys throughout the semester to test this hypothesis. What potential problem could this cause?

Which of the following shows high construct validity?

Please label your answers with an appropriate label for each part of the question. In class, we discussed how one brain area never works in isolation from other areas. Using the complex task below, decide which brain areas should be involved in this task. Please list at least 2 brain areas and describe what they will do in this task. Two additional brain areas can be listed & described for extra credit points. Complex task: thinking up a new story to explain a cool constellation
