Mentalism is an approach to the study of behavior that assumes that a mental or inner dimension differing from the behavior itself exists (Moore, 2003). These unobserved mental processes – what psychologists such as Moore (1995) call hypothetical constructs – cannot be experimentally manipulated. ... Journal of the experimental …

Experimental program. A total of 87 specimens were tested. Among them, 81 specimens were tested to investigate the bond-slip behavior between steel bar and high strength grout, while six others were steel bar and high-strength concrete specimens. By comparing these two sets, we explored the difference in the bond behavior between …

Examples of Experimental Research. 1. Pavlov's Dog: Classical Conditioning. Dr. Ivan Pavlov was a physiologist studying animal digestive systems in the 1890s. In one study, he presented food to a dog and then collected its salivatory juices via a tube attached to the inside of the animal's mouth.

Abstract. "A motion picture which shows movements of three geometrical figures was the material of the investigation. It was presented to a first group of 34 S s with the instruction to describe it; to a second group (36 S s) with the instruction to interpret the movements as actions of persons and to answer a number of questions relating to them.

An experimental and numerical study was performed by Sharaky et al. [4] to study the effectiveness of axial stiffness and of the type of confinement of near-surface mounted (NSM) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement on the strengthened beam bearing capacities and failure modes. The results indicated that the yield load ratio of the ...

3.1. Theoretical analysis. The theoretical method for behavior prediction of the damage ship in waves was developed based on a non-linear time domain simulation method considering the ship as a rigid body inertial system and accounting for non-linearity of large amplitude motion and floodwater effects.

The experimental analysis of human behavior (EAHB) involves the study of basic operant and respondent phenomena with human subjects and is a well-established proving ground for exploring behavioral principles and processes that may be difficult to study in applied settings. EAHB has significant implications for the understanding of human behavior in …

Experimental psychologists are interested in exploring theoretical questions, often by creating a hypothesis and then setting out to prove or disprove it through experimentation. They study a wide range of behavioral topics among humans and animals, including sensation, perception, attention, memory, cognition and emotion.

In order to investigate the fire behavior of high strength steel (Q690 and Q960) shear connections, experimental and numerical studies were presented in this paper. The load-displacement curves, failure modes, and load capacity, such as the slip load and ultimate load of the specimens at elevated temperature were obtained from the …

This study focuses on the swelling properties of the mixture MX80 bentonite/crushed Cox claystone. A series of swelling tests were performed under constant temperature (20 ± 1 °C). The influences of water chemistry, hydration procedure and duration, pre-existing technical void and loading-wetting paths on the swelling pressure …

Experimental study is "study in which conditions are under the direct control of the investigator" (Last 2001 ). It is employed to test the efficacy of a preventive or therapeutic measure. Experimental studies can provide the strongest evidence about the existence of a cause-effect relationship .

Experimental study of a new beam-to-column connection for precast concrete frames under reversal cyclic loading. Adv Struct Eng, 19 (2016), ... Experimental study on seismic behavior of assembled monolithic beam-column interior joints with rebar spliced by pressed sleeve. J Build Struct, 38 (2017), pp. 45-53.

The strain rate dependent behavior of IM7/977-2 carbon/epoxy matrix composite in tension is studied by testing the resin and various laminate configurations at different strain rates. Tensile tests have been conducted with a hydraulic machine at quasi-static strain rates of approximately 10 −5 s −1 and intermediate strain rates of about 1 s ...

We examine the impact of karma beliefs on honest behavior. Previously studied strategies to promote honesty are either susceptible to rationalization or lack universality due to their religious ties. Karma, though rooted in religious contexts, is widely understood and accepted by secular society today. Its supernatural quality and …

An experimental study is performed on the explosion behavior of a nonuniform hydrogen/methane/air mixture with varying hydrogen volume fractions (α(H 2)) in the fuel used and different mixing levels of the fuel/air mixture (characterized by the diffusion time (t d) of the hydrogen/methane mixture).Results show that both α(H 2) and t d considerably …

An advantage of descriptive research is that it attempts to capture the complexity of everyday behavior. Case studies provide detailed information about a single person or a small group of people, surveys capture the thoughts or reported behaviors of a large population of people, and naturalistic observation objectively records the behavior of ...

6.1 Experiment Basics – Research Methods in Psychology. Learning Objectives. Explain what an experiment is and recognize examples of studies that are experiments and studies that are not experiments. …

An example is Holfing's hospital study on obedience. Strength: behavior in a field experiment is more likely to reflect real life because of its natural setting, i.e., higher ecological validity than a lab experiment. Strength: Demand characteristics are less likely to affect the results, as participants may not know they are being studied ...

A comprehensive experimental and numerical study was carried out by Huang et al. [17] to explore the axial and flexural behavior of square CFST members made of S960 ultra-high-strength steels and high-strength concrete (C70 and C100). The results showed that both AS/NZS 2327 and Eurocode 4 can be developed to predict the axial …
