Question

Help with Biological Foundation research and discussion question:

Answer 1

answer: Research question: Does living in poverty and in a small house with maybe one rooms affect you when you go out into the world as far as college or work?

Answer 2

@Shadow if you could look at this and see what needs to be and if the wording is correct

Answer 3

Independent variable : how living in poverty affects you
Dependent variable:able to work efficiently in the outside world

Answer 4

I assume that this research question must have its foundation in biology? The IV seems to be poverty and the small house hold, DV as the ability to function at college/in work. This works as you can manipulate poverty and housing directly, as well as having a control group with moderate, to extremely different situations.

Answer 5

My only question is that of poverty and housing not necessarily being 'biological'

Answer 6

Do to culturally and religious beliefs, if a child has to dress a certain way does it have an impact on their level self confidence? If a child grows up being highly involved in a multicultural household, does it affect their development later on in life?

Answer 7

Here are two examples from other students so I was going based off of these

Answer 8

Its child psych so maybe thats why

Answer 9

one of the topics is inheritance of culture so maybe saying: Does growing up in a household which is strongly different from the American culture result in you being biased against other cultures besides your own?

Answer 10

This may be better =)

Answer 11

Does growing up in a household which is strongly different from your own culture result in you being biased against other cultures besides your own?

IV:
DV:

Answer 12

The IVs all seem to tend towards cultural entities that can affect biology, so I suppose that's the lens to which we view this. In that case, it looks good.

Answer 13

Okay perfect so for IV and DV:

Answer 14

IV: Views on other cultures
DV: Growing up in a household with a different culture

Answer 15

not sure if I stated the DV correctly?

Answer 16

You are saying that someones views on culture will have an effect on them growing up in a household with a different culture.

Answer 17

Yes basically that is the question I am asking

Answer 18

Actually I am saying that by growing up in a strict cultural household, will you be biased against other cultures

Answer 19

Does growing up in a strict cultural household, will you be biased against other cultures?

Answer 20

I would say the IV is the state of being in a household with a culture "strongly" different than your own, as this affects (according to the hypothesis) whether if you will be biased against other cultures besides your own.

Answer 21

sorry

Answer 22

this is my question : Does growing up in a household with a strong culture and adapting to that culture result in you being biased against other cultures besides your own?

Answer 23

So the DV is obviously your views on other cultures, but what is that dependent upon? Is it the type of culture your household raised you on?

Answer 24

@Shadow when you get a chance

Answer 25

@Vocaloid when you get a chance please

Answer 26

It's not a strong culture, its if a culture that differs strongly from your own.

Answer 27

Because the idea is, if you grow up in a household which strongly differs from your own culture, you will be more accepting of different cultures, and less (not) biased against them.

Answer 28

Im meaning to say if you have a strong culture that your family and you grew up on how can that affect your outlook on other cultures

Answer 29

its just a question i have to post i dont have to answer it

Answer 30

i know dv is views on other culture what would iv be im having trouble with that

Answer 31

"So the DV is obviously your views on other cultures, but what is that dependent upon? Is it the type of culture your household raised you on?"

You were asking about the IV.

Answer 32

This
"Does growing up in a household which is strongly different from your own culture result in you being biased against other cultures besides your own?

IV:
DV:
"

and this
"this is my question : Does growing up in a household with a strong culture and adapting to that culture result in you being biased against other cultures besides your own?"

are different questions.

Answer 33

Does growing up in a household with a strong culture and adapting to that culture result in you being biased against other cultures besides your own?"

Answer 34

This is the one im leaning towards. I apologize for the confusion

Answer 35

The second one doesn't elucidate that there is a distinction between if the strong culture is yours or someone elses.

Answer 36

Do you see what I mean? You are just calling the culture 'strong' but in the DV the observed effect is whether if this 'strong culture' dictates you being biased against other cultures that are not your own.

Answer 37

But is the strong culture your own culture, or someone elses?

Answer 38

so basically im trying to say that you grow up in a household with a strong culture lets say you are chinese and obviously you adapt to that culture as well. How will your views about other cultures be will you resent them or will you be accepting

Answer 39

i guess i just have trouble with wording it :/

Answer 40

You there

Answer 41

@Bob is American. He grows up in a Chinese household as he is a boarding student. He comes back to America and he is not biased against Chinese, Korean, Mexican, or any other cultures.

Answer 42

Is that the sort of example you are thinking of?

Answer 43

incorrect

Answer 44

im thinking of bob being strictly chinese and then coming to america. how does he feel about the american poeple

Answer 45

I know that isn't factually correct Bob. I changed a bit for you to fit into this scenario (:

Answer 46

But where did Bob grow up? In China or America?

Answer 47

I did not grow up in a chinese household

Answer 48

im thinking how hard is it to accept other cultures if all you know if your own

Answer 49

is your own*

Answer 50

@zarkam21 In your experiment, where did Bob grow up

Answer 51

No bob is chinese he grew up in a chinese household and was isolated from other cultures. Then because of school or work he has to interact with poeple with other cultures

Answer 52

HOw does he feel about these cultures and does he resent them because all he knows is his own culture

Answer 53

So a person grows up in a culture that is their own, then seeing how this affects their perceptions of other cultures?

Answer 54

yes

Answer 55

I see. You changed it a bit. But that works.

Answer 56

Okay now I just need one more thing from you :)

Answer 57

Better not be my heart!

Answer 58

Haha don't cha worry :)

Answer 59

I need to also come up with a discussion question: And I know its like a question that isnt yes or no

Answer 60

but everything im thinking of sounds like more of a research question than anything else

Answer 61

and it falls under the same topic so

Answer 62

Something like, "Do think that someone fitting the description of the IV would be resentful towards other cultures?"

If this is too much like a yes or no, as you said, we can alter it a bit:
""Why do you think that someone fitting the description of the IV might be resentful towards other cultures?"

This leads into more of the underlying IVs within the IV, such as this person subscribing to a group identity and this has the propensity to generate conflict when approached with someone who is not from your own group.

Answer 63

Doesn't have to be a 'someone else' approaching. It is just this person being presented with a representation of another culture.
