Assignment: Evaluating the Evidence Worksheet 4

1. Choose ONE of the Claims above to evaluate. Which type of claim is it: Frequency, Association, or Causal? EXPLAIN your answer.

Claim 7: Opposites Attract.
This is a Casual type of claim. This is because casual claims stipulates that there is a relationship between two events. In this case the two parties are the tow opposite sides and their attraction.

2. Search for and read the entire article for ONE primary source of evidence related to this claim from within the past two decades (2000-2020)

The Evidence: The evidence was found in an article published by the media outlet: The Conversion. The Author is Viren Swami (Professor of Social Psychology: Anglia Ruskin University) and the Article was published in March 14 2017.

The Conversation. Swami, March 14, 2017. Why opposites rarely attract. Retrieved from: https:// theconversation.com/why-opposites-rarely-attract-74873

3. WHAT did the evidence say? Briefly describe the researcher’s methods and conclusions. If you do not have access to the full article, briefly describe the Abstract for the article, in your own words.

The claim that opposite attracts is refuted by this article. In fact the author stipulates that the opposite is true. Opposite rarely attract, people who have similar attributes are likely to be attracted to each other, as opposed to people with different attributes. Therefore concluding that the claim: opposite attracts is a myth.

4. What TYPE of evidence was it? Place an “X” before the types of evidence the researcher produced.

Case study Survey

Correlational study
Quasi-experimental study
Longitudinal study
Controlled Experimental study
Systematic review or meta-analysis of many studies: X

5. Evaluate whether the types of methods used in the study (descriptive, correlational, or experimental) appropriately matched the type of claim (frequency, association, or causal).

As Identified before, the research claim was casual and the researcher utilizes the meta-analysis of many studies to come up with an answer. This type of method appropriately matches with the type of claim. This is because the claim has been studied by various author for ages, therefore making it easy to combine the insights from different studies to come up with an answer.

6. RATE the strength of the evidence on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the strongest), and EXPLAIN why you gave that rating.

The Rating: 9
The reason for this rating, is that the author has utilized different evidence from different studies to come up with a conclusion. It is obvious that having different people pointing towards the same answer/explanation, it means that the conclusion is correct. There is strength in numbers, and the author has used his insights and the insights of other researchers to conclude that opposites do not attract.

Overview
In this journal activity, you will discuss the biopsychosocial causes of abnormal behavior, as well as challenges that clinicians face when addressing behaviors shared among psychological disorders.
Scenario
As Jamal researched the factors that cause atypical patterns of human thought, emotion, and behavior, he had a revelation: Abnormal behavior is more complicated than many of us realize. For example, Jamal discovered that abnormalities in behavior can be caused by biological factors (e.g., genetics, neurophysiology, biochemistry). Also, abnormal behavior can be caused by psychological factors (e.g., severe emotional distress, grief, trauma). Finally, Jamal discovered that abnormalities in behavior can be caused by sociocultural factors (e.g., social norms, familial values). Of the many valuable takeaways of his research, Jamal found that abnormal behavior is a complex phenomenon that can have biological, psychological, and sociocultural causes. In many cases, it is not the result of one causal factor, but of several co-occurring, interdependent factors.
Given the dynamic interplay between biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, the behaviors of various disorders often overlap, making the accurate diagnosis of psychological disorders a challenge for clinical professionals.

1. BestBuy recently changed their return policy, and returns can only be made on the next day of purchase during Black Friday. Alice, Kelly, and Billy went to BestBuy on Black Friday to take advantage of the sales. While visiting the store, they ran into their friend, Taylor Swift, who had been shopping with her best friends, Maggie and Roger, the entire day. Taylor Swift was so excited to see her friends that she forgot all about why she was in the store in the first place. She left without making a purchase, but as soon as she exited the store with Alice and Billy – she remembered that she still needed to pick up her preordered Wii system, and she immediately returned to the store the next day. Taylor was the last person in line, and according to her count, she was #20 in line for a new purchase, 50 customers in the customer service window, and they had 30 people in line for returns. How many visitors did they have in store on Black Friday and after Black Friday?
2. What contributed to the increase in site traffic and online sales? What is the total number of people who made a purchase online? What is the total sales revenue? BestBuy sent out an email blast about their Black Friday deals on November 27th, 2018, to 3,500 people on their list, of which 85% opened the email and made a purchase. When their analyst ran the analytics report, he noticed that traffic to the site increased by 25% and sales increased by 15% compared to last year’s results. The website’s average visits are about 55,000 visits per month, average sales are $45,000, and the average order value went from $20 to $30 for that reporting period compared to the previous year. During the same period, there were other marketing promotions, including TV ads, Billboard ads, and online display ads that also promoted the Black Friday deals at BestBuy.
3. BestBuy is looking to improve the level of “online engagement” and “online sales”. Which one of these tests do you recommend and why? A/B Testing or Value Spectrum Analysis? Explain your answers.
4. 4. Last year, UCLA ran their analytics report and discovered that 50% of student registrations were completed online, 35% of student registrations were completed through an email campaign, 15% of student registrations were completed with an academic advisor (in which the advisor added 50% of those entries), and there were some mailed-in registrations as well that was added to the website. If the total revenue generated from student registration was $250,000, what is the total revenue generated online? Explain your answer.
5. UCLA is looking for where to invest its marketing budget in order to boost student enrollment. One area of steady growth is foreign students however, their online engagement is relatively low, non-international students have better online engagement, but low enrollment. If UCLA is trying to understand why this is happening and if they need to change their overall marketing strategy, what report do you recommend? and why?

We hear a good deal about misinformation and related buzz word cousin “Fake News.”

In these conversations we often get the hot take that what we need is to teach people “digital literacy” people just need to be taught how to “critically think about the messages they receive.” Or we get the take that social media platforms are manipulating us into believing false things for clicks, this is kinda where the documentary we watched at the beginning of class lands. Of course as should be obvious by now, my take is always that hot takes are bad and that you want a more nuanced approach to the problem. So lets try to get one.

Read:Start with this article on Qanon. “QAnon shows that the age of alternative facts will not end with Trump.” Links to an external site.Keep in mind this is written before the November election or the January insurrection. But regardless it is a good explanation of the world of Qanon.

Next read this piece, “Lizard People in the Library.” Links to an external site.This is a dense read for a web article so schedule time accordingly, although not long you will want to read it twice. At the core of Fister’s argument is the idea of an “epistemological rift” you want to make sure you understand what she means by this.

To do:

First the facts: Vaccines are effective and safe. There is no debate about this. There have been established clinical trials and real world use that confirms this.

Yet, people still believe a lot of not true things about vaccines and are thus hesitant to get vaccinated.

Your task here is to both explain what people who are vaccine hesitant or anti-vaxxers believe. No need to dictate everything in fact you are better served by finding one specific objection people have to getting vaccinated. Then answer the following:

1. What is it that they believe?
2. What makes them believe this?
3. Find something online that backs up this viewpoint, screenshot the article, or link to it and post it here.

Okay so misinformation is clearly a problem, I mean from a public health standpoint this vaccine mis-information is a nightmare and will literally kill people, and QAnon and the Insurrection led to deaths at the capital.

Think of a solution to this misinformation problem. You might want to consider technical solutions (like what the platforms could do), legal ones, or social ones. Everything is fair game here, just make it a serious solution that you think would help solve this problem. Make a case for why this solution would be a good one, explain how it would help. And then, argue the reverse, explain why that solution wouldn’t work. (If you have trouble with the second half of this question you can do some research online and see what concerns people have about your chosen solution.)
