Identify the sample used in the researches below by choosing the letter of the best answer: Adler (2003) examined the relationship of foreign language study and SAT Verbal scores. Additionally, the study explored whether or not the number of years of foreign language study had an impact on SAT verbal scores. The students involved were female seniors at a private high school in suburban Maryland. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant effect that the choice of foreign language study has on the verbal score achieved on the SAT. This hypothesis was rejected because there was a significant difference in SAT Verbal averages among the students of three different foreign languages. French foreign language students outperformed Spanish and Latin foreign language students.

Identify the sample used in the researches below by choosing the letter of the best answer: Bisogni, et. al. (2005) studied the conceptual understanding of how management of food and eating is linked to life course events and experiences. Individual qualitative interviews were conducting to adults in upstate New York, particularly 14 men and 11 women with moderate to low incomes. A conceptual model of food choice capacity emerged. Food choice capacity represented participants' confidence in meeting their standards for food and eating given their food management skills and circumstances. Most participants had faced challenging and changing circumstances (income, employment, social support, roles, health conditions). Participants linked strong food management skills with high levels of food choice capacity, except in the case of extreme financial circumstances or the absence of strong standards.

The men in this study were all aware that they did not neatly fit behind the mask, either as a result of personal characteristics or social identities. Their resulting insecurities led them to wearing the mask both consciously and unconsciously so that they would be seen as men by society.

Identify the sample used in the researches below by choosing the letter of the best answer: Harmon (in Nieswiadomy, 2008) collected data from 8 nurses who were employed between 1951 and 1965 in a Virginia state hospital. These nurses were now retired and had between 12 and 46 years of psychiatric nursing experience. The researcher wanted to describe the experiences of these nurses who practiced in a state mental hospital before and during the introduction of antipsychotic medications. They expressed resignation and frustration while trying to provide care despite crowded wards and inadequate personnel and supplies. The nurses indicated that they focused on the patient's body instead of on the patient's mind. The camaraderie they experienced with other nurses helped them continue in their positions, despite what they felt to be a "thankless job."
