Research Strategy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Propose a research strategy | Select topic identify the research problem, conduct a research study literature review, state the research hypothesis, determine research strategy, design and procedures, determine data analysis techniques |
| Method section of Papaer involves | Determine research strategy, design and procedures |
| Naturalistic Obvervation | Observation and recording behavior in a natual setting without and intevention unobtrusisve, uncontrolled, no casual interpretation |
| Contrived Observation | Structures observation, observer sets up a situation so that events can be observed without waiting for them to occur natuarlly, labatory, reactivity |
| Correlation observation | two variables are measures and recorded for each individual in a group -1 to 1 Negative/postivive/ no relationships, strength of relationship, prediction, does not occur with causation |
| Non experimental research design | attempts to demonstrate a differnce between two var. by comparing diffrent groups of scores but makes no attept to minimize threats to internal validity to explain the relationships, no causal explanations- pretest, post test, |
| Case Study | in depth study amd detailed description of a single individual intervention, case history, unrepresentative sample, no causal interpretation |
| Quasi- experimental | like experimental designs has experiemental like controls, goal is to attempt a cause and effect relationshio between 2 variables, always has flaws- usally assignment bias, no causal interpretation |
| Experimental method | researcher controls and manipulates variables to discover their effects provides casual information to explain behavior |
| Independent Variable | experimenter manipulating |
| Dependent Variable | Measured/believed to be influeced by IDV |
| Random Assingment | equal probability of being selected to be in each condition level of the IDV |
| Advantages of experimental method | Determine the cause and effect relationships |
| Disadvantages of experimental method | May be artificial or impossible to manipulate the IDV, bias |
