A researcher is interested in the influence of temperature on helping behavior. To investigate this topic the researcher prepares a waiting room in which the temperature can be accurately controlled
In the adjoining room he prepares an audio recording of a subject acting out an epileptic seizure. A subject is seated in the room with the temperature set at one of three levels (hot/comfortable/cold). After the subject has waited in the room for 15 minutes the recording is played and the experimenter records if the subject attempted to provide assistance (yes/no). Which statistical procedure would you apply to determine whether there is a significant difference between temperature levels with respect to helping behavior?
John's parents not only physically and mentally abused him and his siblings, but also abused all of the family pets. John's learned to withdraw from the family in attempts to avoid contact with his abusive parents
He secretly hated them not only for the abusive acts, but also because they were constantly intoxicated from drugs or alcohol. John's habitual withdrawal interfered with his studies and involvement in school events as well. However, peer pressure had little impact until he started high school. During his second year in high school, two high school bullies victimized John during school. John skipped school the next day, but showed up as the two bullies headed toward the school bus waiting to take them home. John runs up to the bullies, pulls out a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol he had stolen from his father's bedroom, and shoots the bullies until the weapon is empty. Both of the bullies were killed. Analyze John's childhood history and compare his actions against the bullies to the abuse he endured throughout his childhood. Does John have any form of defense against prosecution? Why or why not? Being a sophomore in high school, John would be about 16 years old. Would the courts try him as a juvenile or an adult?
