32
Informed consent necessary when:
Subjects may be exposed to risk of research greater than the risks of everyday life
33
Positivism
Theory that laws are best understood as social rules, valid because they are enacted by authority or derive logically from existing decisions.
34

35
According to differential association theory, how is deviance learned?
Through interactions with others Differential association is when an individual bases their behaviors by association and interaction with others. This is most often studied in the analysis of learned deviance such as learned criminal behavior.
36
Mediating Variable
One that explains the relationship between the two other variables "Education between social status vs. testicular exams." If you take away education effect, relationship disappears Think "Cause"

Moderating Variable
May dictate the strength of correlation between the two variables "Age between social status vs. testicular exams" Age moderates, but if you take away age, the correlation still exists Think "Effect"

62
Asch's conformity experiment
Solomon Asch conducted an experiment investigating the extent to which social pressure from a majority group could influence a person to conform. Asch used confederates who were instructed to give clearly incorrect answers regarding the lengths of various lines. He then measured the number of times each unknowing participant conformed to the majority view. In Asch’s study, the confederates never provided an explanation for their choices to the group.
