I would employ this mechanism by administering the same test on different occasions; I would then use those results to determine the extent to which the test is useful beyond the first administration to any specific group of subjects.
5. Example of Gender-Biased Symbolic Logic Test Question
"A football team scores a touchdown and now leads its opponent by four points. Should they attempt a single-point kick or a two-point conversion?"
6. Specific Nature of Bias and Proposed Solution Prior to Testing
This test question is an objective measure of quantified logical reasoning but would be biased toward males by virtue of differential familiarity with American football rules. The researcher could have identified this bias by administering the test to groups of gender-specific subjects and comparing their results to their respective results on other questions designed to test the same abilities in different contexts.
7. Disparate Impact without Bias
"Please read the following passage and then answer the corresponding reading comprehension questions that follow." Generally, the comparative socioeconomic level of adolescent learners corresponds to their reading comprehension levels....
Therefore, learners from higher socioeconomic circumstances would score higher on the same test item that is designed to measure reading comprehension. Nevertheless, it is not biased when used in conjunction with any application where reading comprehension is of specific relevance to that application.
8. Review Panel Form to Screen Prospective Test Items for Bias.
1. Is the test item potentially inherently biased against any specific group of test subjects? (Because test evaluators should be able to identify and highlight potential sources of bias in testing)
2. To what specific group of test subjects is the test item potentially inherently biased? (Because test evaluators should be able to identify and highlight potential victims of bias in testing)
3. Does the value or relevance of the contextual value of the item outweigh its degree of potential bias in connection with its intended application? (Because certain questions are sufficiently related to and relevant to the application of the test to outweigh the potential impact of bias)
4. Can you propose a comparable unbiased question? (Because some biased questions can be substituted with substantively comparable unbiased questions).
Anthropology: The Fundamental Social Science Anthropology is, according the American Anthropological Association, "the study of humans, past and present" (AAA, 2011). Anthropology looks at what it means to be human; it is "a field of inquiry that studies human culture and evolutionary aspects of human biology, including cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and biological anthropology" (Jurmain, Kilgore, & Trevathan 2006: 6). It, therefore, is the fundamental social (and behavioral) science discipline that
Anthropology Career: Anthropology can broadly be defined as the study of humanity based on its evolutionary origins in the past millions of years and its current global diversity. Unlike other disciplines that focus on one or another aspect of humanity, anthropology focuses on how people plan their lives and relate to each other in interacting, interconnected groups or societies with similar beliefs and practices. Anthropologists share many interests with other disciplines
Religion is an inherent part or element of a culture or society, and this must be viewed in the context of the society/culture in which this religion developed and thrived. It must be considered that all religions give credit to humanity's existence through a certain god / goddess (or in the case of polytheistic religions, gods/goddesses). Differences across religions lie only on the traditions observed, roles assumed by each
Although the writer explained his honest opinion, he still showed respect to the people concerned and his reasons sound fair enough for the Yanomami and other indigenous people. The fourth letter indicated some direct criticisms to the AAA organization. The writer explained facts based from his study and in turn explained his comments and criticisms which are also based from factual information that he had researhed on. As compared to
Cultural Construction -- Fundamental beliefs, definitions, behaviors, and relationships that are attributable to social learning and culture-specific expectations rather than to biology. What is participant observation and what are the advantages of it (please use the virtual reality game (Second Life) as an example. Participant observation is a type of anthropological, sociological, and other research-based disciplines in which the researcher can become directly and intimately involved with specific populations of research subjects.
Anthropology, in the broadest sense of the term, is concerned with the whole history of mankind: man in the context of evolution. Yet this is a difficult position to take because being concerned with man as he occurs and as he has occurred means that the body and the soul must be taken into consideration together and the differences in man associated with time and location must be investigated. Still,
