Document Summary

Vancouver residents who were sampled in the study: ex#2: students at uwo were asked in a study to read a story about ww1 solider who devised a plan to save a small village. In one condition, the students were told that the village agreed to help the soldier and it was saved. When asked how predictable the outcome was, they felt it was obvious that the village would be saved. Formulating hypotheses and theories: theory: an organized set of principles that can be used to explain observed phenomena, hypothesis: a testable statement or idea about the relationship between two or more variables. Internalization of this idea was associated with greater body dissatisfaction and with higher incidence of eating disorders. In both cases, the resultant samples are unrepresentative of the population at large, which is one of the reasons why polls are showing such contradictory results now.
