  4. Catch the Error #2 • Neither group showed any significant growth (Wong and Tuttle 2005). Revised:

  5. Catch the Error #3 • Duffy & Petronius (2002, p. 23) found that none of the subjects showed improvement. Revised:

  6. Catch the Error #4 • Boyle (1998, 1998, 1998) found in three separate studies that the rats had higher stress hormone levels after exposure. [Assume the three studies were done in 1998 and each was published separately that year.] Revised:

  7. Catch the Error #5 • Parker (2003) found that there was “no significant difference between the treatment group and the control group.” Revised:

  8. Catch the Error #6 • When contacted, Habbib had no useful explanation except that “mistakes were made” (phone call, 2005). Revised:

  9. Catch the Error #7 • Bretschneider, John Garrett and McCoy, Nancy Lewis, 1968. Sexual Interest and Behavior in Healthy 80- 102-Year-Olds. Archives of Sexual Behavior, Vol. 14, pp. 343-350.

  10. Catch the Error #8 • Hashimoto, Thomas. (March 13, 2000, p. 23). Seeing Red in November. Newsweek, vol. 199.

  11. Catch the Error #9 • Pinkerton (originally published in 1844, reprinted in 2001) believed that democracy was a two-edged sword. Socrates (400 B.C.) felt the same way.

  12. Catch the Error #10 • Most experts believed the effects would be disastrous (NIMH 2000). For example, 8 of those surveyed believed supplies would run out within 24 hours. Not surprisingly, only 2 out of 15 thought survival was possible after thirty-six hours. (Assume NIMH is introduced here for the first time.)
