    Summary

    The percentage of bachelor's degrees in arts and sciences declined significantly after 1968 due to institutional changes and evolving student major choices, especially for women. This trend appears to be reversing, with gender having less future impact.

    Emission Spectra02:39

    Emission Spectra

    When solids, liquids, or condensed gases are heated sufficiently, they radiate some of the excess energy as light. Photons produced in this manner have a range of energies, and thereby produce a continuous spectrum in which an unbroken series of wavelengths is present.
    Escape Velocities of Gases01:19

    Escape Velocities of Gases

    To escape the Earth's gravity, an object near the top of the atmosphere at an altitude of 100 km must travel away from Earth at 11.1 km/s. This speed is called the escape velocity. The temperature at which gas molecules attain the rms speed, which is equal to the escape velocity, can be estimated by using the equation for the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules. According to the kinetic theory of gas, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules is proportional to its temperature.

    Psychology as a Science

    Psychology, as a scientific discipline, aims to understand the mind and behavior through rigorous and systematic methods. The foundation of psychological research is evidence-based, relying heavily on the scientific method to derive and validate knowledge. This structured approach ensures that findings are reliable, valid, and applicable to broader contexts.
    The scientific method in psychology involves six critical steps: making observations, formulating hypotheses, conducting tests, analyzing...

    Avoidance Learning and Learned Helplessness

    Avoidance learning and learned helplessness are critical concepts in understanding behavioral responses to negative stimuli.
    Avoidance learning occurs when an organism learns that a specific behavior can prevent an unpleasant outcome. For example, a student who receives a bad grade may start studying harder to avoid future poor grades. This behavior persists even when the negative outcome is no longer present. Avoidance learning is powerful because it maintains behavior in the absence of the...
    Magical Thinking01:29

    Magical Thinking

    Magical thinking encompasses the belief in assumptions that defy logical reasoning yet appear intuitively convincing. It is a common psychological phenomenon that persists across various cultural and individual contexts. While these assumptions contradict empirical evidence and scientific laws, they often serve meaningful psychological roles in promoting emotional resilience and a sense of control, especially under stress or uncertainty.Thought-Action Fusion and the Law of SimilarityA key...
