Agreed. And most of my students have no idea what cloves are!
Wedekind (1995)Hi John Is Bouchard and Mcgue research on heritability of intelligence a family study or twin study? Regards
LP 9: Genetics and sexualityI also teach Zhou...but Wedekinkd is a study that can be used for more topics (evolutionary arguments, for instance) and students seem to like it and underdtand it very well. Yes, "pheromones" is not their favorite topic.... Thanks so much for...
Wedekind (1995)Dear Mary Yes, I hope that they would not ask about causality for interviews. Students would have to focus on why they cannot establish causality but how interviews can show trends that may allow us to generate theories of causality. It...
CausalityBecause the smell affects mating behavior. It is not a pheromone because of the way that it is secreted, but Wedekind still refers to this as a pheromone in some of his writing. It is accepted by the IB as an answer (see past markschemes) because...
Wedekind (1995)Yes, for the same reasons. They knew that they were part of an experiment; the researchers assigned the tasks and they were randomly allocated. I would avoid the lab vs field distinction altogether.
Evaluating research: MDDHi, John! I have a question, how can this study be linked to pheromones? Thanks in advance!
Wedekind (1995)How do we address the issue of causality with a qualitative study like interviews on P2? My hope is that the concept will somehow match the method asked for, but I am worried we will get something like explain the concept of causality in your interview...
CausalityThere has also been some confusing about Draganski as a field experiment.,
