Social Science - 26 September 2006

My daughter plays softball and one of the other fathers starting yelling at his daughter because he didn't think she was playing well enough. He told her she was lazy and she'd better play better or he would stop her catching lessons that he is paying for. He did this during the game right in front of all her teamates and the other parents, I was 50 feet away and heard him like he was standing next to me. I wanted to tell him I thought he was a complete *ss but my wife didn't want me to talk to him. I had not met this guy until that day. The coach told him to stop, which he did for a few innings and then started again and both teams could hear him yelling, he basically repeated what he had earlier said. Should I call Protective Services? I understand this is common for this guy.

Hi, I teache history in 7th grade. I was wondering as I was teaching, in what period of history (- 8000?, -10 000) was the link made between sexual intercourse and pregnancy. Hard question, I know thanks in advance!

I see this happening a lot, and I am curious how it impacts the willingness of others to answer. This is not a troll question, I really am curious how this is percieved by the answering community. From my perspective it would seem to reduce the quality of answers given. So, to test this hypothesis,

If someone posts like typing out a text message, and someone else asks the same question in grammatically correct English:
1) Would you answer one, the other, both, or neither?
2) If both, would the format of the questions impact your reply, or would you simply copy and paste answers from one to the other?

Thank you for your insights!

Dr. Frank investigated the relationship between stress and physical illness. She persuaded a high school principal to require all female athletes in the school to participate in her study. She explained the purpose of her research to the athletes and asked them to use a standard form to rate the severity of their stress over the last six months. More than 250 athletes completed the form. Then Dr. Frank analyzed the forms returned by the first 100 athletes. She requested the attendance records from the nurse's office for each of those athletes to verify the number of days absent due to illness during the same six month period. In the debriefing summary that Dr. Frank sent to the 100 athletes after she completed the study she stated that athletes who reported more stress also experienced more frequent illness.

Identify the research method used

Describe the operational definitions of the 2 keys variables that Dr. Frank used in the study

Like I said, at least 1 thing. I know everyone has more than 1 thing they're good at. Some people just don't admit it or don't see it or neglect it.

I think that everyone should be\are actually, because you are not able to do anything without thinking also about yorself and yourself in consideration with others (always knowing what you want, like,..). Yes, we are also altruistic but I mean in basis we are all narcissists. Aren`t we?
