I need assistance with a project that requires the use of RStudio and a codebook. I have attached the codebook and the variables I chose to focus on are: 1) Children under 18 total
ch.It18_tot 2) Children under 18 living with participant total
ch.It18live_tot
3) Post days with Cough
post.coughdays
My research question is: Does the amount of days a cough lingers correlate to whether a participant is a parent with a child under the age of 18 and how many children they have? I can send my RStudio log in because that’s where the project with the instructions are.

**Title: Sensation and Perception: The Influence of Sensationalism on Information Processing**
**Author: [Your Name]**
**PSY 101**
**Glendale Community College**
In the realm of psychology, the processes of sensation and perception play crucial roles in how individuals interpret and respond to the vast array of information presented to them. This paper delves into the impact of sensationalism on sensation and perception, exploring how sensational content affects cognitive processes and shapes individuals’ understanding of reality. Drawing upon scholarly research and psychological theories, this paper argues that sensationalism can distort perception and influence decision-making, highlighting the implications of sensational information consumption in modern society.
Sensationalism, characterized by the deliberate use of provocative or shocking elements to attract attention, has become pervasive across various forms of media, including news, entertainment, and advertising. This phenomenon is closely linked to the concepts of sensation and perception in psychology, as it directly influences the initial reception and subsequent processing of information by individuals (Nadarevic et al., 2020).
The initial stage of sensation involves the detection of stimuli through sensory organs, such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Sensational content often exploits these sensory channels by presenting information in a dramatic or emotionally charged manner, triggering heightened physiological and emotional responses (Pennycook et al., 2018). For instance, headlines and news stories designed to evoke fear, outrage, or curiosity can elicit strong sensory reactions, capturing individuals’ attention and intensifying their perceptual experiences.
Perception, on the other hand, encompasses the organization, interpretation, and understanding of sensory information. Sensationalism can significantly impact perception by influencing cognitive processes, such as attention, memory, and judgment (Pennycook et al., 2018). Research by Pennycook et al. (2018) demonstrates that repeated exposure to sensationalized content can enhance its perceived accuracy, leading individuals to internalize and accept sensational claims as factual, even in the absence of corroborating evidence.
The consequences of sensationalism on perception extend beyond individual cognitive processes to societal attitudes and behaviors. Sensational content, particularly in news media, has been associated with increased polarization, misinformation, and sensationalization of public discourse (Cinelli et al., 2021). The echo chamber effect, characterized by the reinforcement of existing beliefs and the exclusion of dissenting perspectives, further exacerbates the impact of sensationalism by limiting exposure to diverse viewpoints (Cinelli et al., 2021).
In light of these observations, it is essential to consider the implications of sensationalism on information processing and decision-making. The proliferation of sensational content in digital media underscores the need for media literacy and critical thinking skills among individuals. By cultivating awareness of sensational tactics and their effects on perception, individuals can develop resilience against misinformation and make informed judgments based on evidence and rational analysis (Calvillo & Smelter, 2020).
In conclusion, the study of sensation and perception offers valuable insights into the psychological mechanisms underlying the influence of sensationalism on information processing. Sensational content has a profound impact on how individuals perceive and interpret the world around them, shaping beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors in significant ways. By acknowledging the cognitive biases associated with sensationalism and promoting media literacy, society can navigate the complexities of modern media environments with greater discernment and resilience against manipulative tactics.
