Summary
The Population Association of China established an award to recognize outstanding population science research. This initiative encourages demographers and promotes advancements in population studies and human resource development.
Area of Science:
- Population Science
- Demography
- Human Resources
Background:
- The Population Association of China aims to advance population science.
- There is a need to encourage demographers and improve human resource quality.
- The award seeks to stimulate research relevant to population control and development.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish an award for excellent population research in China.
- To recognize outstanding achievements in demography between January 1991 and June 1993.
- To motivate researchers and family planning professionals.
Main Methods:
- The award is open to members of the Population Association of China.
- Eligible research includes monographs, papers, survey reports, translated works, reference materials, and software.
- Two prize classes are established for each category of achievement.
Main Results:
- Winners will receive diplomas and monetary awards.
- The evaluation process is scheduled for September-November 1993.

02:20Longitudinal Research
13.5K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

01:50Cross-Sectional Research
12.7K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

01:52Regression Toward the Mean
7.2K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...

00:57Population Growth
28.8K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

25.9K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.
