Examples of generational cohort in the following topics:
-
- Demographic profiling is essentially an exercise in making generalizations about groups of people.
- As with all such generalizations, many individuals within these groups will not confirm to the profile.
- Critics of demographic profiling argue that such broad-brush generalizations can only offer a limited insight, and that their practical usefulness is debatable.
- The generational cohort information above, for example, applies primarily to North America (and to Western Europe, to a lesser extent), and it may be unfruitful to generalize conclusions more widely as different nations face different situations and potential challenges.
-
- A limit to this method is that the artificial environment in which the experiment is conducted may not be applicable to the general population.
- In a longitudinal study, a researcher observes many individuals born at or around the same time (a cohort) and carries out new observations as members of the cohort age.
- Also, because members of a cohort all experience historical events unique to their generation, apparently normative developmental trends may only be universal to the cohort itself.
- This generally requires fewer resources than the longitudinal method, and because the individuals come from different cohorts, shared historical events are not as unique.
- Microgenetic design studies the same cohort over a short period of time.
-
- For instance, researchers may collect information via surveys, review medical or company records, or follow a cohort of many similar individuals to study why certain diseases might develop.
- In general, observational studies can provide evidence of a naturally occurring association between variables, but they cannot by themselves show a causal connection.
- In general, association does not imply causation, and causation can only be inferred from a randomized experiment.
-
- In cohort studies, a degree of matching is also possible, and it is often done by only admitting certain age groups or a certain sex into the study population. this creates a cohort of people who share similar characteristics; thus, all cohorts are comparable in regard to the possible confounding variable.
- Before the experiment begins, the testers will assign the members of the participant pool to their groups (control, intervention, parallel) using a randomization process such as the use of a random number generator.
-
- Variations of the basic paradigm tested how many cohorts were necessary to induce conformity, examining the influence of just one cohort and as many as fifteen.
- Results indicated that one cohort has virtually no influence and two cohorts have only a small influence.
- When three or more cohorts are present, the tendency to conform increases only modestly.
- The maximum effect occurs with four cohorts.
- Adding additional cohorts does not produce a stronger effect.
-
- There are a number of different approaches to measuring fertility rate—such as crude birth rate (CBR), general fertility rate (GFR), child-woman ratio (CWR), total fertility rate (TFR), gross reproduction rate (GRR), and net reproduction rate (NRR).
- General fertility rate (GFR) is the number of births in a year divided by the number of women of childbearing age (usually 15 to 49 years old, or sometimes 15 to 44 years old), times 1000.
- The TFR (or TPFR—total period fertility rate) is a better index of fertility than the crude birth rate because it is independent of the age structure of the population, but it is a poorer estimate of actual completed family size than the total cohort fertility rate.
-
- In general, you want to collect the questions for a Q&A session at the end rather than displaying the questions as they occur.
- You may have a cohort monitor the questions and select the ones to answer.
-
- Titus, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus, and Marcus had no need of praetorian cohorts, or of countless legions to guard them, but were defended by their own good lives, the good-will of their subjects, and the attachment of the senate.
- After some deliberation, Nerva chose Trajan, a young and popular general, as his successor.
- During his reign, the Empire defeated a revitalized Parthian Empire in the East: Aurelius' general Avidius Cassius sacked the capital Ctesiphon in 164.
-
- DMDD was added to the DSM-5 in 2013 as a diagnosis for children and adolescents who would normally be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, as a way to limit the bipolar diagnosis in this age cohort.
- Emotional symptoms such as anxiety, anger, and depression are generally present, and substantial disruption to personal relationships may occur.
-
- Another approach to the idea of learning communities at a college or university level is the implementation of cohorts.
- The instructor's role in a cohort is that of a facilitator.
- The particular learning community depicted here is the University of Georgia's School Library Media Cohort System.
