Experimental manipulation of authentic self-expression on well-being We recruited 90 students and social media users at a Northeastern University to participate in a 2-week study (Mage = 22.98, SDage = 4.17, 72.22% female). The sample size deviates from our pre-registered sample size...
Experimental manipulation of gut microbes in animal models alters fear behavior and relevant neurocircuitry. In humans, the first year of life is a key period for brain development, the emergence of fearfulness, and the establishment of the gut microbiome. Variation in the infant gut microbiome has...
Another way to decide whether a correlation between A and B is due to a causal link or not is to use earlier established scientific theory to describe causal mechanisms, to be discussed in Chap.8. But this earlier established theory must in turn be based on experimental evidencefor causal li...
Correlational research offers a window into the intricate web of relationships between variables without necessitating experimental manipulation. This guide aims to provide a richer, more detailed exploration of the processes and considerations involved in gathering correlational data effectively. Choosing Your...
Animal studiesthat use experimental conditions to test causal effects. It is difficult to determine causality in human studies, as we cannot manipulate SOR or anxiety in children. However, such studies are more feasible with animal populations, in which we can induce symptoms of SOR or anxiety to...
Rather than give up local dynamics, we could accept superdeterminism, the idea that unlikely correlations are causally set in the early universe, or that some form of retrocausality, where the experimental setup has effects on, or at least constrains, the earlier evolution of the particles that...
study are not subject to experimental manipulation (e.g. health problems/risk factors). If we want to understand them in a causal framework, we must be very cautious. It will require a multifaceted approach to the research." [Helberg] Far from adopting a cautious interpretation of the figur...
Integrating experimental (in vitro and in vivo) neurotoxicity studies of low-dose thimerosal relevant to vaccines http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21350943 Thimerosal-Derived Ethylmercury Is a Mitochondrial Toxin in Human Astrocytes: Possible Role of Fenton Chemistry in the Oxidation and Breakage ...
Our experiment was designed to examine the effect of omitting online sensory causality evidence on the strength of hand-cursor sensory integration. This experimental manipulation, however, could in principle have additional influences on the process of sensory integration, such as introducing biases in ...
The human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae ascends into the upper female reproductive tract to cause damaging inflammation within the Fallopian tubes and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), increasing the risk of infertility and ectopic pregnancy. The loss
