Unit 9: Assignment # 2

• To apply your knowledge of alternative hypotheses to actual research studies, read the excerpt from Huck and Sandler's (1979) book,Rival Hypotheses: Alternative Interpretations of Data Based Conclusions https://psy311.wichita.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Rival-Hypothesis-Alternative-interpretations-of-Data-Based-Conclusion-part-one.pdf (Part One).
• ALSO NOTE: Huck and Sandler's book is specifically written with the researchers and their studies as the topics. Huck and Sandler's book is NOT "synthesized" psychological science; rather, it is "analytical" psychological science. Make sure you appreciate the difference.
• For each of the 18 studies presented in the excerpt from Huck and Sandler's (1979) book, identify how the alternative hypothesis that is listed after each study's title (e.g., "A Painful Look at Hunger: Correlation Isn't Causation") can explain the study's results.
• Go to theUnit 9: Assignment #2 Discussion Board andmake a numbered list of the 18 studies in the Huck and Sandler's (1979) book excerpt. For each of the 18 studies,
  • provide the title of the study andits alternative hypothesis (e.g., "A Painful Look at Hunger: Correlation Isn't Causation"); and
  • explain, in at least fifty words, how the alternative hypothesis can explain the study's results
  • To get your numbering for your numbered list you will need to do one of the following:
    • type the numbers into the textbox yourself OR
    • ask the Discussion Board to number your list for you (by clicking on the numbering icon) OR
    • type the numbers into your Microsoft Word or Google doc yourself, rather than relying on Word or Google doc to automatically number your list for you. (The numbers that Word and Google automatically add do not always copy over to the Discussion Board.)
