[tips] chicken, Fox News, and correlations
With respect to drawing causation from correlation, one of my students pointed this out to me. Apparently, if you want to create aggressive children, give 'em their meat still on the bone... I've been unable to find the actual article (I haven't tried very hard though), but here is a story from Medical News Today: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/276052.php and here's how Fox News reported it: http://foxnewsinsider.com/2014/04/29/eating-chicken-bone-makes-kids-more-aggressive-study-shows Carol -- Carol DeVolder, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology St. Ambrose University 518 West Locust Street Davenport, Iowa 52803 563-333-6482 --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.

Re: [tips] chicken, Fox News, and correlations
Sounds like they assigned children to conditions. Was it random? But even if not, each Ss served in both conditions. Small N. I wouldn't necessarily call the IV confounded, but chicken on-the-bone versus bite sized chunks is a sloppy IV - what exactly is the key stimulus feature? It could be, for instance, the fact that gross versus fine motor skills are involved. If so, might we expect a similar finding if we had children working with a small screwdriver versus a hammer? == John W.

[tips] Four-fold table?
I teach a gateway class for Psych majors to prep them for our research methods classes. Early in the term,after discussing everyday reasoning problems such as the confirmation and hindsight biases, I have been introducing the idea of a four-fold (2X2) table to aid their thinking about more adequate tests of popular ideas. The table encourages them to think about control or comparison conditions, and gently preps them for later discussion of variables and levels for same. AnywayI think I picked this idea up from some intro text, likely Scott Lilienfeld's, but I cannot find or recall the source. Does anyone do anything similar, or recall where use of a four-fold table for such teaching purposes may have come from? G.L.

Re: [tips] chicken, Fox News, and correlations
Yes, but repeated measures experiment. Haven't checked actual report either, but it might be interesting example of demand character and imitation? Incautiously hyped by author in that Medical News link. Hmmm. G.L.

Re: [tips] Four-fold table?
Thanks Scott... I skimmed your intro text and didn't see it but will check again. Also have used Gilovich (1991) so probably derived use from both. Just saw your use again, but this time searched Great Fourfold Table of Life lol. Well, of course. Cheers, Gary G.L.

Among others, Tom Gilovich's (1991)'s superb How we know what isn't so is an excellent source in this regard for teaching purposes. All the best...Scott Scott O.
