Abstract
This paper discusses whether police use different standards of severity when dealing with resident versus non-resident drivers in Florida. The paper uses the regression analysis, which estimates the significance of the variation of the dependant phenomenon with the independent and the influence of the latter on the former. The paper explains its analysis and shows that a relationship does exist.
From the Paper
"The hypothesis is tested with the confidence level of 95%, thus the allowed chance of rejecting no relationship between the variables when there is actually this relationship, is 5%. Decreasing the confidence level to 90% will give more errors in the model and the model did not result in better relationship. Having carried out this multifactor regression, the result revealed that there is no statistically significant relationship between the over speeding and the fact that the person is a resident or non resident and the gender of the person. The first problem with the model could be the very data set as out of the 536 observations in the population, only 136 were the cases when people were none residents. Thus, the results could be distorted. The R2 in the model is extremely low and reveals that very little variation in the severity of this crime could be explain by the factors in the model. P-values are low only for the intercept and none-residence factor."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the ABC Corporation, which has employees that are accruing large amounts of vacation time and then not using that time or losing it because of company rules regarding how much time an employee can carry. ABC wants to test, through regression analysis, whether this is a legitimate, company-wide problem or whether it is only occurring in isolated cases.
Outline:
Introduction: A Look at the Problem
Methodology
Results
From the Paper
"Once an employee has been with ABC for five years, that employee will accrue three weeks of vacation time per year (15 days, or 120 hours). That results in an accrual rate of 4.6 hours per pay period. Finally, once employees have been with ABC for 10 years, they accrue vacation time at a rate of four weeks per year (20 days, or 160 hours), or 6.2 hours per pay period. This is the highest rate of vacation time accrual at ABC. Furthermore, although employees are allowed to carry vacation time over from one year to the next, they are not allowed to carry more than four weeks. Anything above four weeks, as of Jan.1 of a new year, is forfeited."

Abstract
This paper looks at the controversial topic concerning the correlation between telelvion and violence. The paper defines and discusses the social psychology point of view on this topic and presents an integrated, albeit brief, examination of the key questions regarding the correlation the difficulties in answering them scientifically.
From the Paper
"Top government studies insist that "violent material is popular" (Surgeon General's Scientific Advisory Committee on Television and Social Behavior, 1972). Differing conclusions may be viable. One leading social psychologist flatly states that "evidence suggests that violence on television is potentially dangerous, in that it serves as a model for behavior -- especially for children" (Aronson, 1995, p.265). How can there be such a difference in the basic conclusions of credible scientists performing valid scientific studies? Why are there so many open questions in this important area?"

Correlation is not Causation, 2002.
An analysis of the arguments and agendas of the IQ-Race Controversy.
1,900 words (approx. 7.6 pages), 4 sources, $ 71.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay will analyze the history of the IQ-Race controversy with a view to questioning both the function of IQ as a predictive factor, and the validity of associations between IQ scores and racial origins. It will be argued that, from a layman's perspective, the sheer number of uncontrolled variables in such associations seem to undermine the theory that IQ is closely associated with race. Thus, general correlations between IQ scores and racial origins do not signify a causal relationship between the two.

Abstract
This paper takes a thorough look at a report put out by the National Commission on Teaching and America?s Future, which found that the more educated, prepared, and confident a teacher can be when entering the classroom, the more the students will benefit. The paper looks at the questions raised and answered in the report by looking at variety of factors including state standards for staff development, progressive trends in staff development, and recommended guidelines for professional development programs. Graphs, tables, and statistics pertaining to the report are generously provided.
From the Paper
"Some states, as evidenced by the earlier tables, are implementing changes. However, the majority of states are maintaining the status quo, which consists of professional development being conducted as a course or workshop that is available to teachers multiple times during the course of a year. Yet others release students for a half or a full school day during which teachers participate in ?in-school? programs that may or may not directly address professional development needs. The programs may feature topical experts, a panel of representatives from federal or state agencies regarding standards and certification requirements, or trainers offering tips and techniques for classroom management. The level of this activity is often dependent upon district financial resources."

Abstract
This paper explains that these correlates are important, since they represent the leading organizational indicators that affect student learning. The author states that the correlates include instructional leadership, clear and focused mission, safe and orderly environment, a high expectation climate, frequent monitoring of students? progress, positive relations between the home and school, and an opportunity to learn. The paper stresses that the uniqueness of these correlates is that they are the only set of research-based characteristics of a school?s climate associated with improved and better learning.
From the Paper
"By mastery, it means the completion of an established set of instructional objectives, which indicates the students? readiness to go forward to the next level. The level of thinking and teaching must be parallel to the students? abilities. There must be multiple teaching methods and high level thinking skills made available to all students. Any failure to demonstrate mastery of the subjects must be acted upon immediately with alternatives. School skills must be defined and explained to students. Goal setting and self-reporting exercises may be emphasized. Skills that are basic could be in the area of reading, writing, math, technology and citizenship. These are understood with clarity and taught by teachers. To breed expectation, the lessons must be reviewed while curriculums defined. Mastery level is not communicated but developed although the expectation for success is communicated."

Abstract
This study explores the association between both deviant and non-deviant sexual behavior as a coping strategy employed by sexual offenders. It suggests that sexual activity, discovered during adolescence, is reinforced as a coping mechanism to alleviate emotional distress. The paper discusses adolescent behavior and sexual offences that are associated with this age group.
From the Paper
"The correlates of sexual offending have been studied by researchers who seek to discover common patterns in relation to past and present behavior as well as lifestyle variables. Evidence has supported the use of sexual activity as a coping strategy, as a mechanism to full intimacy voids, and as a response to childhood abuse. Sexual offending has also been correlated with higher measures of deviant sexual arousal in response to audio stimuli, and with drug and alcohol use. Evidence suggests that due to parental abuse and modeling of parental behaviors, such as drug and alcohol use, adolescent sexual offenders fail to learn appropriate social skills and thus lack healthy peer and familial relationships. Due to a lack of emotional support in their lives, sexual offenders turn to sexual activity to fill intimacy deficits without fearing rejection from others. Because adolescent sexual offenders commonly suffer verbal abuse in the form of parental rejection and neglect, sexual activity serves as a reinforced mechanism which offers temporary relief from feelings of isolation."

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of the disorders Bulimia nervosa and Hypothyroidism, including a description of both syndromes and their effects (diagnoses/onset of Bulimia and role of thyroid gland), as well as a review of various research findings interconnecting the two. In particular, long term damaging effects of Bulimia such as low blood sugar and hyperglycemia, lower resting metabolic rates, and malnutrition are examined in order to correlate it with the possible onset of hypothyroidism.
From the Paper
"A brief description of Bulimia Nervosa according to the latest DSM IV entails recurrent episodes of binge eating characterized of larger than normal portions in shorter than average time spans. These episodes are accompanied by a lack of control over feeding behavior and typically followed by a period of compensatory behavior such as self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, or other medications; fasting, or excessive exercise. Binges and purges occur in ongoing cycles for an average of at least twice a week for three months. An onset of bulimia usually occurs in later adolescence and more prevalent in females. People suffering this condition may or may not be overweight and may or may not have suffered previously or are concurrently suffering from Anorexia Nervosa."

Abstract
This paper looks at how juvenile delinquency is linked to the families the offenders come from. Links are examined in regards to the abuse of children during childhood, low levels of family affection and high levels of family conflict, the use of ineffective or inconsistent disciplinary practices and the structure of the family.
From the Paper
"The first and most obvious cause in the family is most probably the lack of parental affection or parental rejection. This happens mostly in families whereby the parents are very busy, broken homes or those where arguments are part of a daily routine. Cernkovich and Giordano (1987) found that ?delinquent behavior in a large sample of high-school students was associated with parent-adolescent conflict, low parental acceptance and low parental caring and trust.? Children that feel rejected or unloved may sometimes find ways to attract attention. The ways children do so varies from just crying all day long or calling their parents every single second, to committing crimes. This is why some children of rejecting parents display aggressive behavior. Interactions between parents and child are also important to prevent the child from feeling rejected. J. Pincus said, ?Parenting that promotes interpersonal and communicative relations, academic and professional skills, as well as encourages the development of normative values and positive behavioral standards in children.? This positive interaction between parent and child is important in establishing a strong bond and the formation of appropriate behavioral characteristics in children."

Abstract
This essay talks about a linear regression model in ordinary least squares regression, the problems that may arise in an OLS model and how it can be fixed through generalised least squares. Generalised Least Squares (GLS) regression is used when problems occur in OLS estimation. The paper includes graphs and formulae supporting the analysis.
From the Paper
"Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression is a common tool used for economic forecasting when analysing time series and cross-sectional data. It is quite common as it is one of the easiest ways of estimating parameters in a simple or multiple regression model. Generalised Least Squares (GLS) regression is used when problems occur in OLS estimation. Such problems will cause are estimators to no longer be the Best Linear Unbiased Estimate (BLUE) or efficient and so it is necessary to use a transformed model. In this essay I will show how both OLS and GLS are derived through equations and discuss the problems that may occur under OLS estimation and why it is more suitable to use GLS to estimate a linear model when certain problems occur."

Abstract
The paper uses a literature review to evaluate what the relative strength of correlation is between substance abuse, affective disorders and incarceration in African American males. The strength of association is exampled from multiple populations including those incarcerated for petty theft, auto convictions, and those convicted of rape, murder or other forms of violent assault. The paper concludes that there is ample evidence from the literature supporting a relationship or correlation between substance abuse disorders, affective disorders and deviant behaviors among incarcerated African American males. However, there is also evidence suggesting that at present the criminal justice system in America is doing little do address the needs of this unique population.

Conclusions/Discussion
From the Paper
"The theoretical framework describing the relationship between affective disorders, substance abuse and deviant behavior is often referred to as the "anomie perspective" and may be defined as the lack of normalness that one experiences in their day to day existence (Shaw, 2002). Following this theory, African males experience "more moral confusion and difficulty assimilating to the normal cultural landscape of society" and hence demonstrate "extremism in behavior", in part as a result of their loss of perspective or reality (Shaw, 2002:6). Further individuals suffering this state tend to lead extremes of life feeling "they are above the law or social order of society" in many cases, or lamenting their sad existence, both of which may lead to individual affective inclinations or substance abuse patterns in African males (Shaw, 2002:6). "Failure, frustration and strain" experienced in ordinary life can also result in moral unsureness and "polarized reactions to societal events" (Shaw, 2002: 6). This in turn may cause someone to give up hope or due diligence, or their efforts toward conformity and contribute to deviant behavior. Under the framework of anomie, strain and "moral undecidedness or lessening in normative control feed back on each other making substance dealing, abuse and deviant behavior an acceptable reaction to life and reality" (Shaw, 2002:6)."
