Describe the pros and cons of using a between-subjects design. Describe the pros and cons of using a within-subjects design
Overview
The goal of this discussion is to demonstrate your understanding of the pros and cons associated with between and within subject designs. These are discussed in section 5.24 of your textbook Links to an external site..
Please read the following research topics and choose two to write about.
You want to test the relative effectiveness of two training programs for dogs.
Using photographs of people as stimuli, you want to see if smiling people are perceived as more intelligent than people who are not smiling.
In a field experiment, you want to see if the way wait staff are dressed (neatly vs. sloppily) affects the size of their tip.
You want to see if concrete nouns (e.g., dog) are recalled better than abstract nouns (e.g., truth).
For each of your chosen topics:
Describe the pros and cons of using a between-subjects design. Describe the pros and cons of using a within-subjects design(at least 4 sentences).
Describe the pros and cons of using a within-subjects design (at least 4 sentences).
Decide which would be better and explain why (at least 2 sentences).
Your responses should incorporate the correct terminology (e.g., random assignment, control of extraneous variables, carryover effects), and should identify the pros and cons that are relevant to each of your chosen research topics.
Note:
Folk art is traditionally passed from one generation to the next and is usually learned by listening or observation. Most often the art has elements of artistic design but often serves a family, tribal, or community function. Do you have a relative who plays guitar and sings songs about their experiences? Do you have a relative or friend who makes quilts?
Folk Art in Your Family – Assignment

Do you have a relative or friend who makes quilts? Does someone you know make special food at certain times of the year for special occasions? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you know a folk artist!
Instructions:

You may want to ask them:
How they learned their art?
What it means to them?
Who did they teach?

Examining SSRI vs. Benzodiazepine Treatment for Social Anxiety in University Students with Substance Dependence
Background
Background and Significance:
Social anxiety significantly hampers students' academic and social engagement, potentially leading to substance dependence as a coping mechanism. The study recognizes the detrimental effects of untreated social anxiety and substance dependence on academic achievements and long-term success
Methods & Data
Methods & Data:
A systematic literature review was conducted using Cochrane PsycINFO and PubMed, covering research studies published between 2017 and 2023. The selected studies focused on the use of SSRIs and Benzodiazepines in treating social anxiety in university students with substance dependence.
Rationale and Background
Purpose or Rationale:
This poster explores the efficacy and safety of SSRIs and Benzodiazepines in treating social anxiety in university students with substance dependence. The study addresses the significance of identifying appropriate long-term treatments to alleviate the impact of social anxiety on academic performance and overall well-being.
Conclusions and Implications
The findings of the systematic review emphasize the effectiveness of SSRIs and Benzodiazepines in treating social anxiety in university students with substance dependence.
The conclusion suggests that SSRIs, with their superior effectiveness and safety profile, are a preferred choice. However, the study underscores the importance of cautious prescribing due to the potential risk of misuse.
Model Graphic
Outcomes
Major Outcomes:
The literature review identified SSRIs and Benzodiazepines as the preferred treatments for university students with social anxiety and substance dependence. SSRIs, in particular, were found to be more effective in promoting remission and reducing symptoms, fostering students' confidence in social activities. However, the study also highlights the need for careful consideration due to the risk of misuse.
