QuestionAnswer
Random sampling Random sampling is a sampling procedure that ensures that every member of the population of research intrest has a genuinely equal chance of being selected as a participant for the research study
Stratified sampling Includes the population being divided to be sampled into different sub groups, then selecting a seprate sample for each sub group in the same proportions as they occur in the population of intrest.
Convenience sampling A non probability sample that is determined by selecting participants that are readily accessible to the researcher
Qualitative data Information about the qualities and characteristics of what is being studied. These data can describe any aspect of a persons mental experience and behaviour (what something is like or how it is experienced).
Examples of qualitative data Psychologists studying self esteem in young children may collect qualitative data by asking children open ended questions about their self esteem.
Qualitative data Numerical information on the quantity or amount of what is being studied. (how much of something there is).
Example of quantitative data For example, in a survey, a question might ask participants to use a five-point scale to rate their feelings on issues such as compulsory school uniform or the persuasiveness of a particular advertisement.
Scientific method Refers to the systematic approach for planning, conducting and reporting research which involves collecting empirical evidence.
Empirical evidence The data collected directly by observation, or more frequently in psychology through experimentation.
Why is empirical evidence gathered Empirical evidence is gathered to enable psychologists to draw valid and objective conclusions which are more likely to be free from personal biases.
Twin and adoption studies Contribute to the understandings of the relative input of heredity and the environment to human behaviour and mental processes, usually the expression of intelligence and personality.
Independent Variable The variable that is manipulated or changed by the experimenter to observe whether it affects another variable and what those affects are.
Dependant variable The variable that is used to measure and observe the effects of the independent variable. It is usually the response made by a participant in an experiment and it usually has a numerical value.
Ethical requirements Debriefing and professional conduct
Define debriefing After all studies, participants must be given the opportunity to discuss the study and their feelings about it.
Define professional conduct Students need to remember that they are representing themselves, their school and the profession of psychology so the highest level of behaviour is expected
Participant Rights Confidentiality, withdrawal rights, Voluntary Participation, Informed consent, Deception.
Define Confidentiality All participants have the right to their privacy so personal details cannot be revealed.
Define Withdrawal rights The particpants are free to stop the task whenever they with without pre
