/in , /by

You have been tasked to research the relationship between academic performance and studying either alone or in a group.

  • How would you design the study if you were doing a correlational study?
  • How would you design the study if you were doing an experimental study?
  • Between these two designs which one would be the best method in this case? Why?

. Your initial post (your response to the topic) must contain a citation. It is your ideas supported by research. Please refer to the APA Power Point in the Start Here section of the classroom for information on proper formatting.

Experimental research is done by using dependent and independent variables where one manipulates one or two independent variables and how they affect dependent variables. It uses a set of procedures to test a certain hypothesis (Grønlien, Christoffersen, Ringstad, Andreassen, & Lugo, 2021). If I were to do experimental research, I would first look at how the variables are related to each other before writing down a hypothesis. Then I would design an experimental procedure to manipulate the independent variable based on my hypothesis. Later, I would assign each subject a different variable and measure the dependent variables.

Company Case Study

Answer the following case questions:

1. What is 3M’s strategy to spend on human capital, and what can it do to compare its metrics with competitors. (read McNerney’s Plan for 3M, pdf page 1-5)

2. The identification of the company’s internal strengths and weaknesses. (read Institutionalizing Innovation, pdf page 6-8)

Requirements: 3 pages with double space

Answer preview

Some of the major 3M competitors include Emerson, General Electric, and Corning. There are four major steps that 3M can use to compare its metrics with the existing competitors in the various industries where it operates. The first step is to identify all its competitors. Even though this might seem straightforward, the company needs to identify all its direct, indirect, and substitute competitors (Baranova, 2018). The second step is for the company to gather the necessary information regarding the competitors. The information should revolve around the four Ps of the marketing mix: product, pricing, place, and promotion. This will enable the company to identify the areas the competitors are doing better and borrow some ideas or develop more innovative ideas (Baranova, 2018). The third step involves analyzing the different strengths and weaknesses of the competitors. Lastly, the company should determine its competitive advantage based on its chosen metrics and find out whether it is doing better than the competitors.

Creation Love and the Underworld

Requirements: 3 to 4 sentences

Answer preview

  1. If an underworld closely resembles the living world, what does that tend to indicate about a culture’s attitude?

In scenarios where an underworld shows a close resemblance with the living world, this indicates the prevalence of fear about death. This also suggests that little communication or none of it occurs between the demised and the living. Notably, the perception of not returning heightens the fear of death in such situations.

  1. What does a suicide in an underworld story usually emphasize?

Suicide cases in an underworld story convey that shame becomes part of a person due to violating an essential cultural value. Most suicides create a learning experience despite the guilt and do not lead to a punishment. Generally, this shows that communication has happened between those living and the dead.

Empathy is a crucial component of social work, and this has driven me to draw parallels between my life and Margaret’s. On similarities, I have also experienced increased pressure during the Covid-19 outbreak, which brought many uncertainties. However, we differ in our stress handling approaches because I prefer staying in high-energy environments rather than removing myself from social engagements. My life experience shapes my opinion on this case. It helps me acknowledge that each person’s story is valid and that understanding their unique circumstances is key to assisting them to cope with challenges.

Answer preview

The case-control study design can be used in the following circumstances. Where acquiring samples from exposed test subjects is either expensive or hard to get, where a certain disease takes a long time to occur or appear, when dealing with a rare disease that would require a considerably large sample, where the test subjects of a disease are dynamic and hard to keep track of for good results, and where there is little information regarding a disease (Park, 2019). The case-control study method evaluates diverse exposures to establish causation.

  • What makes the case-control study design so popular?

The case-control study design is popular because it lacks the limitations brought about by the cohort study design. Case-control studies are especially effective when studying rare diseases. This method allows for investigation into diseases
