Question

If you want to conduct a study on female students only you would have to have evidence that there was a reason not to include male students. Do you expect that the result on male versus female monkeys extends to male and female students? Give evidence to support your conclusion (I won’t accuse you of political incorrectness.) Design a study to test your hypothesis.

Answer 1

many studies are conducted on monkeys that are further extended to male and females in human beings. monkeys are used in studies because they are socially related to humans and that's why many studies in which the disorders, structure, and function of the brain, and a vaccine for HIV/AIDS are needed to be produced monkeys are used. in psychology also there are many studies where first studies are conducted on monkeys and then afterward performed on humans. in a study by Hassett et al. (2008) evidence is found that male and female rhesus monkeys of all ages and ranks show preferences for wheeled and plush toys that resemble the preferences shown by human children in many studies of toy choice. so we can say that result on male versus female monkeys can extend to male and female students.

we can design a study to see an effect of violent images on behavior. this can be first conducted on monkeys where we can use 2 groups of monkeys where one are shown violent images and other are shown normal images and see the effect of images and then further applied it to male and female students.
