Dr. Moynihan conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of panic attacks a person experienced in the past month, the number of nightmares experienced in the past month, and people's levels of neuroticism (a personality trait characterized by instability, anxiety, and worry). She collects a convenience sample of 50 community college students (25 males, 25 females). Below are her findings. < A—number of panic attacks in the past month and neuroticism: r = -.03, not sig. < B—number of panic attacks in the past month and number of nightmares in the past month: r = -.14 (p = .05) < C—number of nightmares in the past month and neuroticism: r = .48 (p = .003) Dr. Moynihan data two outliers. What does this mean and what should be done? What aspect of Dr. Moynihan's study makes her findings especially susceptible to outliers? Which validity is threatened and why (construct, statistical, internal or external)?

< > answer < >

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
