The context of marriage nudging

/0 Comments/in /by

I’m interested in your conditional ethic that in the context of marriage nudging is unethical. Is it not unethical for a government to nudge a citizen?

What is the difference do you think between nudging, manipulation, propaganda and coercion. Think about the UNESCO ethical principles.

ANY influence by anyone in government to take a drug is deemed unethical. But nudge theory principles were used in all western countries to do exactly that. Was that ok? Thoughts?

Three important ethical considerations for digital nudges are discussed: (1) Preserving individuals’ freedom of choice / autonomy, (2) transparent disclosure of nudges and (3) individual (pro-self) and societal (pro-social) goal-oriented justification of nudging.

PCPs for psychotropic medication

Why do you think most individuals would instead go to their PCPs for psychotropic medication when this individual has not been specifically trained to prescribe these medications like a psychiatrist has been trained?

The reasons people gave for discontinuing their meds included fear of health risks and side effects of long-term use. I am also aware that often psychiatrists offer drugs too quickly, and without also strongly advising the patient concurrently do therapy to help deal with emotional issues.

What is a common misconception/assumption made about psychotropic medication (state at least one)?

What is a confounding variable?

Confounding variables are those that affect other variables in a way that produces spurious or distorted associations between two variables.

They confound the “true” relationship between two variables.What is a confounding variable? How does it affect the validity of your research study?

Describe a research study that contains an example of a confounding variable.

For example, if you are researching whether lack of exercise leads to weight gain, then lack of exercise is your independent variable and weight gain is your dependent variable.
Confounding variables are any other variable that also has an effect on your dependent variable.

To ensure the internal validity of your research, you must consider the impact of confounding variables. If you fail to account for them, you might over- or underestimate the causal relationship between your independent and dependent variables, or even find a causal relationship where none exists
