Abstract
This paper demonstrates a beginning knowledge of psychological research methodology. The author designs a correlational study to identify any relationship that may exist between sports participation and academic achievement, be it positive or negative. The author also designs an experiment in which one variable is manipulated in order to try and determine a direct cause/effect link between the two variables and tests the same hypothesis: When activity in sports is increased, the academic achievement scores will gradually decrease.
From the Paper
"After the experiment is completed and information is totaled, there are questions of validity and ethics to be addressed. Concerning the internal validity of the experiment, many things can affect the GPA of students including personal problems and family traumas. Unfortunately, in order for the experiment to have the highest possible hypothetical internal validity, experimenters would need to control every aspect of a subject?s life in order to get a completely accurate description of causality between the two variables. Ethically and practically this cannot be done, since it is impossible to control a boyfriend?s mood or a parent?s health, so experimenters can only make certain that all participants are exposed to the same amount of school. These already full-time students would be required to attend every class unless sick or injured. Practices would not be scheduled during class time so this would not affect the independent variable in any way. If students were not required to attend their classes all of the time, this could skew the results because of a few ?students? who weren?t really students at all, and just enrolled in school, but who still had their lower GPA introduced into the results. In addition, participants during this semester would not be allowed to participate in sports over the time allowed for their particular group. For example, if a ninth grader was placed in the group that participated in 1-3 hrs. on average per week but practiced more hours in addition to the required practices, this would cause the results to be skewed for the 9th-10th grade group."

"Cultural Bias in Psychological Tests
Introduction
While much of the focus in the media has been on cultural bias in standardized testing for cognitive skills, or for college entrance examinations, there has been little discussion of the potential problems of cultural bias in psychological testing. Yet this is a significant problem for minority populations who might be inappropriately assessed because of psychological tests not designed to be sensitive to minority populations.
According to Rogler et al. (1991), the problem is multi.level. They note that there are inappropriate research methodologies, inadequate testing and treatment protocols, and over.generalization of results. Thus, tests which have been designed for.."

Abstract
This paper explains that in psychological research, a theory is the most significant factor: It determines the manner in which the research will be performed, the purpose of conducting the investigation and defines the subject that is being researched. The author defines the psychometric approach as psychology that deals with the design, administration and interpretation of quantitative tests for the measurement of psychological variables such as intelligence, aptitude and personality traits. This paper presents the history and application of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which is one of the most enduring and most used system of typological classifications.

From the Paper
"Informational theorists believe that human cognition is best understood as the management of information through a system with limited space or resources.Two theorists that promote informational processing models are Sternberg and Gardner. Sternberg's triarchic theory consists of three parts: cognitive components of intelligence, experience and intelligence, and context of intelligence. They are divided in three major sub-theories: Componential is encoding, combining and comparing stimuli and evaluating one own performance. Contextual is the adaptation to one?s environment. The two-facet sub-theory is the ability to process novelty and the ability to atomize cognitive processes. One of Sternberg's most important contributions to intelligence theory has been the redefinition of intelligence to incorporate practical knowledge. As Sternberg insists, "'real life is where intelligence operates' and not in the classroom . . . . The true measure of success is not how well one does in school, but how well one does in life.""

Abstract
This paper presents detailed reviews of four psychological articles. Each review presents a short summary and a critique of the experimental design that was used by the investigators. The first study determines whether there is a difference between Asian and American students at American Universities when it comes to the willingness to seek help and treatment for symptoms somaticization. The second study determines if young adults who had Attention Hyperactivity Disorder are more likely to use licit and illicit substances than young adults without ADHD. The third study measures behavior issues between ADHD preschool children and non-ADHD preschool children and the fourth measures the amount of stress that teaching ADHD students places on the teachers that teach them.
From the Paper
"This study measured behavior issues between ADHD preschool children and non ADHD preschool children. The study is important as previous literature on ADHD school behavior issues focus primarily on non preschool aged children. Determining the behavior problems I ADHD children before they enter elementary school might allow for the treatment and the advent of behavior modifications to begin. The study utilized five search strategies to locate potential studies for inclusion(McGoey, 2002)."

From the Paper
"Local network of an enterprise covers 120 personal computers of users and 15 servers on the base of PC Intel platform, which are situated on the four floors of the office building. Every floor is designed on the base of specification 100BASE-TX, wiring is represented by cable UTP Cat 5e. Network's speed is provided at the rate of 100Mbps and network uses the same kind of Ethernet channel level packets. Besides client computers, network also contains printers. Maximum number of printers per floor is 10 items. Switching is executed on each floor in wiring closet, one per floor. Wiring closets contain switchboards , patch -panels and 19" UPS. The distance from closet to working area of client computers does not exceed 90 meters. For providing high switching speed network uses HP procurve switch 2324 on 24 ports. Because the total number of connections is 40 and there has to be a reserve for future connections, the number of 48 ports would satisfy future requirements of the network. Both switches are connected by high speed channel of 1Gbps by means of using special modules. All three floors have the same type equipment."

Abstract
This paper is a brief review of the pressing problems confronting the Acetate chemical-mix department in the wake of a dramatic technological revamping. The writer points out that as a result of these changes, there has been a noticeable flagging in the productivity of workers as the company finds itself with a department operating well below productive capacity. This brief paper argues that efforts must be made to re-establish the old conviviality for the sake of improved productivity.
From the Paper
"The following paper is a very brief overview of what can be done to facilitate improved productivity and morale in the Acetate department. To begin with, prior to the great changes, the Acetate Department's technology was decidedly low tech, emphasizing as it did manual labour - the men would physically off-load the material from the trucks and then transport it up the elevators to the third floor storage site - and the treating of the mixes very much as one would treat the 'mixing of a cake'."

"Firstly, the age and gender of the children will be taken into consideration when selecting the sampling frame for analysis. The age and gender of the children should be between 14 and 19 years. This is because the children chosen in this study will be divided into two groups pertaining to their age and gender: children in the first group will include 2 boys and 2 girls from ages 14-16, children in the second group will include 2 boys and 2 girls from ages 16-19. Secondly, orphans and children, who are not living with their parents, will not be considered as this study concentrates on the attitude of adolescents and how their attitude affects their relationships with their parents."

Outline:
Ergonomic Needs
Integration of Ergonomic Needs
Programme for Ergonomic Needs of Users and Operators
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Children from 5 to 8 years would for example have needs such as facilities that cater for their limited size. Shallow pools, smaller tennis courts, light-weight equipment and lower drinking fountains are examples of these. They would also require adult supervision and adult-led activities in order to ensure their safety and enjoyment at all times. At the same time, supervision by a professional adult would reassure parents of their children's safety. Children aged form 9-12 years would still require a fair amount of adult supervision, although in certain activities they might be given more autonomy and/or responsibility. This depends upon their age - a child of nine years old would be slightly young to leave completely alone during an activity."

Abstract
This paper discusses the genetic model developed at Harvard to study this type of Hereditary Parkinsonism and proposes methods to design experiments, which can be performed towards finding a possible cure.
From the Paper
"Alpha-synuclein is a 15-20KD protein, which has been shown in the cytosolic aggregates of Lewy body and dopamine positive cells in a rare dominant form of familial Parkinsons disease. The gene responsible is found to localize on human chromosome 4q21-q23.
Though this form of parkinsonism is DOPA treatment responsive, the work by the authors is a step in search of a complete cure and of a preventive measure if it can be designed using the transgenic fly. The usage of genetic fly can be of paramount importance in delineating the basic pathogenetic mechanism underlying the disease."

Approaches to Designing a Merit Pay Plan, 2002.
An examination of how teachers' salaries can be adapted to a merit pay plan.

Abstract
The author of this paper shows that a merit pay plan can be successful for teachers if well planned. He explains the term "merit pay" and shows how it can be used as an incentive for teachers as a reward for higher levels of performance. Advantages and disadvantages of this plan are also investigated.
From the Paper
"Though there have been many sides of the debate over merit pay systems in schools, there have been hundreds of successful plans implemented in corporate America. Merit plans have been the standard since the 1980s in factories. There is no reason why schools cannot enjoy the success shared by corporate America. Prior to the 1980s, merit pay was simple. If you met your sales or production goals, your boss got a bonus. He may share it with you in the form of a Christmas ham or if you were lucky a small cash bonus so that you could buy your own ham. As international economic competition increased in the early 1980s, U.S. corporations, desperate to regain their competitive edge, began to experiment with measuring individual worker performance. They established pay incentives to make improvements in formerly hard-to-measure categories of output and in previously intangible areas like customer service or product quality."

Abstract
This paper explores the role of the scientist-practitioner model and the contributing effects of both group focused statistical analysis and single-case design to modern psychology.
From the Paper
"The scientist-practitioner model is deeply embedded in both applied and educational psychology alongside its faithful counterpart: group focused statistical analysis (Blampied, 2001). Although regarded by some as useful in its role within our educational system, its saturating effects are seemingly detrimental to our graduating psychologists. Such effects flow over to science as a whole and are believed to be the foundation of psychology?s inability to be recognised and regarded as a valuable asset within modern day science (Johnson and Pennypacker, 1993)."
