Can the CV already have an effect? I read somewhere that a Confounding v was just an extraeneous that wasn't controlled..

[REBORN]

A CV already has an effect....what you just described is a [potential] confounding variable; that is, any extraneous variable that wasn't controlled.

Integrity is like how committed the researcher is in regards to their searching for knowledge for their study and also concerning the extent to how honestly and ethically they carry out or conduct their research and disclose/communicate the results of such research

Found ansswer from Unit 3 questions thread:

Internal Consistency is a type of measure used to examine reliability. Reliability refers to the ability of a particular test/technique to replicate the same or similar result over and over again. Internal Consistency in particular, is a measure of the degree of which similar questions in a test end up with similar answers. If a test is to be reliable, it makes sense that questions that ask similar topics, for example a question saying 'I like stuyding' and 'I enjoy studying' in a survey, should get similar answers.

What is the difference between allostatic load and allostatic overload??

[REBORN]

Allostatic overload is when allostatic load becomes too much

[Zafaraaaa]

Edit: never mind! 

[REBORN]

Allostatic load refers to the 'wear and tear'....right? so when this becomes TOO MUCH you have OVER-load and yep, a higher risk of developing disorders.

Allostatic load refers to the 'wear and tear'....right? so when this becomes TOO MUCH you have OVER-load and yep, a higher risk of developing disorders.

Allostatic load or overload (different across the text books) is when there is stress over a continuous period of time, or stress that has become repeated over a time, (stop, go, stop, go). This causes the body to go into a state where the body becomes weaker and is susceptible to developing disorders, or obtaining disease,

Sounds right?

[playsimme]

Can't you be @ risk for developing minor illnesses too during allostatic load? Isn't overload only when the body goes into a physical and mental breakdown, leading to long-term damage? So both can lead to illnesses I suppose but overload just leads to more serious ones?

Well should we keep it as load leads to minor then, and prolonged overload leads to major?

In Watson's 'Little Albert' experiment, were there any ethical principles that were not breached?

[playsimme]

I don't think any were NOT breached. That's how evil he was lol
