Psychology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Identify the 4 sampling techniques | 1.random - eg. participants names picked out of a hat 2. Opportunity - participants are chosen because they are available 3. Self selected - participants volunteer eg apply online to a advertised study 4. Snowball - After one another is found |
| What is meant by ecological validity | A more realistic response in the real world |
| What is a control group | It’s a group where researchers might want to see whether the DV is changes without changing the IV |
| What is meant by demand characteristics | Any change in behaviour due to the participant knowing the aims of the experiment : can hinder or help the overall outcome |
| What does it mean to operationalise the variables | Being specific about the independent and dependent variables |
| What are the characteristics of a field experiment | - the participants do not know they are in an experiment - the participants natural environment |
| What are the 4 ethical principles | - respect - responsibility - integrity - competence |
| Identify the 3 pros of IMD | - no order effects - reduced demand characteristics - reduce of individual difference through random allocation |
| Identify the 2 cons of IMD | - participant variables can effect results - need more participants |
| What is meant by counterbalancing | Where the participants are divided into conditions evenly. They complete the condition and then switch. This helps us get evened results and reduce order effects |
| Identify the order effects | Fatigue - participants get tired / bored leading to worse scores in the 2nd condition Practice- participants get better at task leading to better scores |
| What is the repeated measure design | Where the same group of individuals take part in all the conditions of an experiment |
| What is the independent measures design | Where a different set of participants are used for each condition |
| What is meant by a two tailed hypotheses | Does not predict the direction of the results . Just states there will be an effect . |
| What is meant by a null hypothesis | Predicting the DV is not affected by the IV |
| What is stratified sampling | A method where the sample reflects the proportions of the sub groups in the population |
| What are characteristics of a lab experiment | - Artificial environment - highly controlled - participants know they are in an experiment - Essential to reduce extraneous variables |
| What is meant by a one tailed hypotheses | Predicts the direction of the results |
| What are the characteristics of science | Quantifiable measurement Cause and effect Manipulation of variables Falsification Hypothesis testing Control and standardisation Replication Objectivity |
| What is systematic sampling | A method where the nth person from a list is chosen |
| What is the naturalistic observation | Watching and recording behaviour in a setting which the behaviour would normally occur in |
| What is controlled observation | Watching and recording behaviour in a contained environment, where variables can be managed |
| What are overt observations | Watching and recording behaviour with the participants knowledge and consent |
| What is covert observations | Watching and recording behaviour without the participants knowledge or consent |
| What is participant observations | The researcher becomes part of the group they are observing |
| What is non - participant observation | The researcher remains outside of the group they are in |
| What is structured observation | Using behavioural categories to decide what is being observed |
| What is unstructured observation | Writing down everything that has been seen by the observer Continuous recording is key |
| What is behavioural categories | Target behaviours to be studied |
| What is a coding frame | Researchers abbbreviations or codes to record the behaviours and may code for subtypes within that behaviour to indicate severity |
| What is time sampling | Recording the behaviour at pre determined intervals |
| What is event sampling | Counting the number of times of a specific behaviour |
