with results like it. There are two different types of variables and they are independent
and dependent. An independent variable is a variable that one has control over. A
dependent variable is the variable in an experiment that is affected in the experiment.
This variable also depends on the independent variable, hence its name. With a reliable
observation, a person should not expect what they think would result, they should pay
attention to what is really there. It is also a lot more helpful to avoid personal opinion.
Try to push yours and others aside to find the true result. Do not seek to be right. It will
give the most valid and reliable observations.

11. Identify and describe the variable that produce conformity and obedience.
!
Conformity and obedience branch from the psychological study of social
influences. Conformity is the desire to be like everyone else. Obedience is to follow and
order given, along with a request, or a law. When it comes to conformity it can involve
such things as gender differences, age differences and social influences. These specific
examples can affect a persons opinions and behaviors. Some examples that contribute
to obedience is an authority figure, chance of harm, and personal responsibility. All of

how an examination of moral development helps us understand individuals

When someone is a bystander and realizes someone is in distress, such as
choking or crying. The natural instinct is to want to help but depending on how many
people are watching, a person may just wait and see if anyone responds before them
before deciding to help the person in distress out. When a group is bigger the person in
distress is less likely to get help from someone. The chances of getting help are more
likely the smaller the group is. This is due to unwanted attention. It is the fact that their
every watch is being moved by everyone within the group. Before acting upon the
situation people tend to stop and think, I could be responsible if something goes
wrong.
