Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

32.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Confirmation Biases

5.5K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Formal Charges

In some cases, there are seemingly more than one valid Lewis structures for molecules and polyatomic ions. The concept of formal charges can be used to help predict the most appropriate Lewis structure when more than one reasonable structure exists.

Continuous Charge Distributions

6.8K
Imagine a bucket of water. It contains many molecules, of the order of 1026 molecules. Thus, although it contains discrete elements (molecules) at the microscopic level, macroscopically, it can be considered continuous. Small volume elements of water, infinitesimal compared to the bulk of the bucket's volume, still contain many molecules. Under this framework, quantized matter is approximated as continuous for practical purposes.
The electric charge can also be subjected to an analogical...

Persuasion Strategies

38.5K
Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Random and Systematic Errors01:20

Random and Systematic Errors

10.9K
Scientists always try their best to record measurements with the utmost accuracy and precision. However, sometimes errors do occur. These errors can be random or systematic. Random errors are observed due to the inconsistency or fluctuation in the measurement process, or variations in the quantity itself that is being measured. Such errors fluctuate from being greater than or less than the true value in repeated measurements. Consider a scientist measuring the length of an earthworm using a...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health Policy
  • Child Nutrition Programs
  • Educational Administration

Background:

  • The U.S. Department of Agriculture mandates school districts establish policies for unpaid school meal charges.
  • Current federal guidelines lack specificity regarding the required content of these policies.
  • Existing school meal charge policies exhibit significant variation across states and districts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the national landscape of school meal charge policies.
  • To conduct an in-depth examination of policies within North Carolina.
  • To identify potential harms and policy gaps in current school meal charge regulations.

Main Methods:

  • Policy analysis of school meal charge policies nationwide.
  • Comparative review of policies, with a focus on North Carolina.
  • Qualitative assessment of policy content and implications.

Main Results:

  • Significant variability exists in school meal charge policies across the U.S. and North Carolina.
  • Many policies are vague, leading to inconsistent application.
  • Some policies contain provisions detrimental to children and families.

Conclusions:

  • Current school meal charge policies require standardization and improvement.
  • Policy revisions should prioritize the well-being of students and families.
  • Further research and policy interventions are needed to ensure equitable access to school meals.
