Designing a research study by https://padlet.com/popov_research/research Made with a curious mind en-us 2019-11-20 01:57:48 UTC 2023-03-28 18:59:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Do children who watch more violent TV become more violent? https://padlet.com/popov_research/research/wish/415981714 Experiment:









Have 2 groups of children (same age, mixed gender) and make one group watch "violent TV" and the other non-violent TV.

Repeat this over a period of one month.

After a month, place the children in an environment designed to provoke them. For example, get them to do a task and say there will be a reward. At the end, don't deliver the reward and observe for a reaction.

Make a tally of all non-violent and violent reactions, eg. Shouting, throwing tantrums, hitting the ground/others = violent. Talking, staying quiet, asking questions = non violent.

Repeat experiment with different age grouped children]]> 2019-11-25 03:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/research/wish/415981714 Do dogs experience boredom? https://padlet.com/popov_research/research/wish/415982070 Experiment/ Observation:
- Leave a dog in a room with a hidden camera. (with food and water only, maybe one toy) 
- Observe what the dog does. See if it tries to escape the room and barks to get out or to get attention
- Repeat experiment with different dog??
-dogs become obsessive, compulsive and destructive when they get bored

Get a child to spend time with their mother for a day/week, however when feeding time comes around, the father feeds the child. After sufficient time has passed, place the child in a room with either parent and see if the child enjoys the presence of the father or mother more.

Ask the child:

  • Lust and attraction causes love
  • Survey on what people define as "love"
  • Internet search
  • experiment on couples (look for love chemical)
  • Oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin cause lust and attraction
    • Experiment detailes
    We would hook the couples up with wires while they are paired with a random stranger; we would see if there is any difference in terms of chemically-speaking between people who seems to be having a great time with each other and people who otherwise don’t seem to be enjoying as much; we would also produce surveys on whether they thoughts trying to see if they think there is anything that was going on in their minds
    We would also arrange interviews with scientists and experts specialises in this field and try to see what they think on these issues

  • Interview - 2 couples - one are in an arranged marriage, one are not (married for same amount of time/ same age?)
  • Ask questions
    • On a scale of 1-10 how happy are you (10 very happy)

    1. EXPERIMENT: Men wear a single shirt without washing it and sleep in it and sweat in it and then women come in and smell them (knowingly participating in the experiment)

    2. OBSERVATION: A woman will go on a date with three different men, all having different smells on their body. They will observe the woman’s answers to his questions and her actions towards the different men.

    3. INTERVIEW: you can interview women and ask them what scent they like in their men

    Use Identical twins , fraternal twins and 

    Give them different tests on different parts of their cognitive ability and check which sets of genes correlate with their IQ

    Control variables:
    - keep them in the same environment
    - same learning environment, same teachers
    - patrol their exposure to things such as books, television, newspapers etc and try to keep them the same
    - keep them from having mutual friends i.e one person should not be friends with someone the other twin isn't friends with
    - control all factors that affect iq such as premature birth, nutrition, pollution, drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness and disease

Can chimpanzees understand that people can be wrong about something? https://padlet.com/popov_research/research/wish/415987830 Experiment : 
    Get multiple chimpanzees and observe their reaction to matching objects and mismatched objects. For example, in one hand you hold a banana while on the other hand you hold an apple, the chimpanzee can see the difference and you observe their reaction compared to their reaction to when you hold a banana on each hand. In this experiment, we see that when the objects match, they are correct whilst when the objects don't they are wrong. If the Chimp gives a different reaction to each variation, we can see that chimpanzees understand wrong and right.]]>     2019-11-25 04:21:52 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/research/wish/415987830     popov_research https://padlet.com/popov_research/research/wish/418261138 hypothesesif surrogates can take the place of the biological mother, and if the bond between mother and child is purely based on physiological need.]]> 2019-12-02 02:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/research/wish/418261138 Does morality depend on the level of hormones in the blood? popov_research https://padlet.com/popov_research/research/wish/418261246 get blood tests from 1 group of people and put them in the same room doing a test together and leave a piece of paper in the room and see if they copy off it. ]]> 2019-12-02 02:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/popov_research/research/wish/418261246 popov_research https://padlet.com/popov_research/research/wish/418261450

  • if surrogates can take the place of the biological mother, and
  • if the bond between mother and child is purely based on physiological need.

    • To do this, Harlow separated infant monkeys from their biological mothers within 6 to 12 hours after being born. He then placed these baby monkeys in a nursery with inanimate ‘surrogate’ mothers – one who is made of heavy wire mesh and the other made of wood that was covered in terry cloth. Both surrogates were of the same size; however the wire mesh mother did not have any soft surface, while the terry cloth mother was soft to the touch and appeared to be cuddly.
