In a
brief paper, describe a potential mediator and moderator that could apply to
each research finding. Be sure to clearly explain what a mediator and moderator
are, and be sure to clearly describe how they relate to each research
situation.
Consider the following examples of research findings:
1. High satisfaction with one’s direct supervisor leads to
lower levels of employee turnover. In other words, employees who are highly
satisfied with their direct supervisor are less likely to leave an organization
than employees who are dissatisfied with their direct supervisor (DeConinck,
2009).
2. High levels of parental reading are associated with
faster cognitive development in young children. In other words, children who
are read to more by their parents show faster cognitive development than
children who are read to less often (National Scientific Council on the
Developing Child, 2007).
3. The experience of being socially excluded leads to
increases in aggressive behavior. Research has found that when people are
excluded by others, they are more likely to behave aggressively, even to people
who did not initially exclude them (Twenge, Baumeister, Tice, & Stucke,
2001).
4. Defendants who wear glasses are less likely to be
convicted by juries as being guilty of committing violent crimes (Brown,
Henriquez, & Groscup, 2008).
