I am only requesting a maximum of 4 pages as this is a group assignment and I am only responsible for the headings outlined in the attached document. Furthermore, an introduction or conclusion is not necessary for this assignment as my group members and I will be writing that together.

Which material from the following will you most likely take with you into your future career or relationships and why do you think this material is important to you?
Physiological needs (Ch.4), Psychological needs (Ch.6), Extrinsic motivation (Ch.5), Goal settings (Ch.8), Mindsets (Ch.9), The self (Ch.11)

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Imagine you are a teacher for a class on statistics and you want to teach your students about correlation using the class data on hair length and height in inches.
Answer these questions for yourself before you run any data:
Do you think these two characteristics—height and hair length—are connected in any way?
How will you know if they are related to each other?
Do you expect them to be correlated? Why or why not? If yes, would you expect this correlation to be positive or negative? Strong or weak?
If you think there is a correlation, do you think it is based on causation? Why or why not? If yes, is this causation direct or indirect?
Use the data in the chart below to figure the Pearson (r) Correlation Coefficient for this data set.

Now that you have run the data, answer these questions for discussion.
Did you see the results you expected?
What did you anticipate correctly?
What did you not get correct? What do you think caused you to be incorrect?
Now let’s look at it visually. Watch the following video on how to create a scatterplot, Creating an XY Scatter Plot in Excel. You are making a basic two-column correlation, which is described first in the video.
Create your scatterplot using the same data. Can you see how the scatterplot makes the “number” you got visual?
Answer the following questions for discussion:
How precise is this information?
Can you think of an example of how to use it in real life? 
Who would find such information useful?

Exploring Ethical Concerns: The Tuskegee Experiment
Assignment Description:
In this assignment, students are tasked with delving into the ethical concerns surrounding the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. This study, conducted between 1932 and 1972, has raised significant ethical questions about informed consent, scientific integrity, and the well-being of research participants. As future professionals in experimental psychology, it is crucial to critically analyze historical cases to understand the ethical implications and ensure responsible conduct in research.
Assignment Tasks:
1. Research and Historical Context:
– Provide a detailed overview of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, including its purpose, methods, and timeline.
– Explore the socio-political context of the time, highlighting factors that influenced the study’s initiation and continuation.
2. Ethical Concerns Analysis:
– Identify and discuss the ethical concerns raised by the Tuskegee Study, focusing on issues such as informed consent, deception, harm to participants, and the violation of basic ethical principles.
– Compare and contrast the ethical standards prevalent during the study period with contemporary ethical guidelines in experimental psychology.
3. Implications for Modern Research:
– Discuss how the ethical lapses in the Tuskegee Study have shaped current research ethics policies and regulations.
– Reflect on the lessons learned from the Tuskegee Study and their relevance to conducting ethical research in today’s experimental psychology.
4. Personal Reflection:
– Write a brief personal reflection on the ethical responsibilities of psychologists and researchers. Discuss how the Tuskegee Study has influenced your perspective on ethical conduct in research. 
5. Reference page: 
List all scholarly sources in APA 7 format.
