まとめ
サンディ・フックでの 銃撃事件の後に 銃器使用の増加は 事故死者の増加と相関しています この急増にはさらに60人の死亡者が含まれており,そのうち20人は子供で,これは深刻な公衆衛生上の懸念を示しています.
科学分野:
- 公衆衛生
- 流行病学について
- 銃による傷害防止
背景:
- 2012年のサンディ・フック小学校での 銃撃事件は 銃の使用率を大幅に 増加させたのです
- 銃の売上が急増し オンラインで銃関連の検索も増加しました
研究 の 目的:
- 銃による接触の増加と 銃による事故による死亡の関連を調べる
- 人口1人当たりの銃販売の増加が大きい州で 銃による事故による死亡率が 比例的に増加したかどうかを調べました
主な方法:
- 銃による死亡を 追跡するために 生命統計の死亡データを使いました
- サンディ・フック事件の後の 偶然の銃撃事件の傾向を分析した
- 州全体で銃の売上高が 増加しています
主要な成果:
- サンディ・フックでの銃撃事件の後に 銃による事故による死亡が 顕著に増加した.
- 20人の子供を含む60人の死亡者は 意図しない銃撃によるものだと推定されている.
- 銃による事故による死者の増加は 異なる州で一人当たりの銃販売の増加と相関しています
結論:
- 大規模な悲劇的な出来事の後に 銃器の利用が増加することは 意図しない銃撃事件の増加と関連しています
- この調査結果は,銃器のアクセシビリティが公衆衛生に与える影響を強調しています. 銃器のアクセシビリティが事故死,特に子供の死亡に及ぼす影響を強調しています.
- 銃器の増加に伴うリスクを軽減するための戦略が必要であることを示唆しています.

The Availability Heuristic
7.1K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Cause and Effect
12.6K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Projectile Motion: Example
13.9K
The theory of projectile motion is very useful for players of several sports to improve their performance. For example, a javelin thrower needs to throw their javelin in such a way that it travels as far as possible. The javelin thrower takes a short run-up to increase the initial speed of the javelin. The range of a projectile is at its maximum at a 45° angle so javelin throwers try to angle their throw as close to 45° as possible.

Bystander Effect

The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Hypothesis Test for Test of Independence
8.3K
The test of independence is a chi-square-based test used to determine whether two variables or factors are independent or dependent. This hypothesis test is used to examine the independence of the variables. One can construct two qualitative survey questions or experiments based on the variables in a contingency table. The goal is to see if the two variables are unrelated (independent) or related (dependent). The null and alternative hypotheses for this test are:
H0: The two variables (factors)...
