3003PSY mid tri exam || with 100% Error-free Solutions.
because it is one of the most practical aspects of psychology and the social sciences. correct
answers why do we study research methods?
the addition of values, attitude, skills, and knowledge pertaining to a professional subculture.
correct answers what is professional socialisation?
that it is guided by theory, has standardised procedures, has good generalisability (internal and
external validity), reliable, and uses multiple methods such as experimental, correlational, and
descriptive research. correct answers what are the characteristics of good psychological research?
they are research methodology and statistical analysis.
"research methods give us data that analyse with statistical methods" correct answers what are
the twin tools of science?
it is the basic question the research wants to answer, its often more than one questions and it
precedes any predictions. correct answers what is a research question?
survey design commonly uses an empirical quantitative approach which is assigning numbers to
constructs. to do this we need to operationalise constructs that cant be measured such as love and
happiness. correct answers what approach is common in survey design?
they are a form of non experimental data gathering (dont manipulate variables). in surveys we
need to focus on how to get reliable and valid measures since we cant manipulate. correct
answers what are surveys?
it is a measure based on the correlation between different items on the same list. it measures
whether several items that are suppose to measure the same construct get similar scores. correct
answers what is internal consistency?
validity is whether the measure is valid, is it measuring what it says it is whereas reliability is
whether we can rely on this measure to consistently produce the same results. correct answers
what is the difference between reliability and validity?
we need to be able to trust that out measures are good or out results can be brushed a side
immediately. correct answers why do we need a good measure?
is the actual score on the exam. e.g. score on intelligence test vs IQ (true score) correct answers
what are observed scores and its components?
is the systematic effect of the underlying construct. e.g. how much i actually know stats vs my
actual score on the exam (observed score) correct answers what is a true score?
, it is how well you perform in general. e.g. do i perform good on exams or do i usually get
anxiety. correct answers what is systematic error?
an uncontrollable error that changes from measurement to another. e.g did i get enough sleep last
night before the exam. correct answers what is random error?
look at paper flashcards notes to see if did it correctly. correct answers draw the component of
observed score diagram with an example?
amongst many other factors, it is optimised for a type of research question, budget, likely sample
size, goals of the research ect. correct answers what is data gathering optimised for?
it depends on the budget, what you want to know, and who the audience will be. basically which
approach would suit our research question best. correct answers how do we decide what type of
research approach to do?
a survey design approach would be best for a research question that involves peoples beliefs,
attitudes, knowledge or reports of behaviours. correct answers what kind of research question
would a survey design approach be best for?
a type of experimental design and is used to establish cause and effect relationships. There are
three criteria that must be met in order for an experiment to be determined as a true experiment:
At least one experimental and control group. Researcher-manipulated variable. Random
assignment. correct answers what is a 'true' experiment?
gives researchers control over the procedure, allows assessment of covariation, helps to rule out
other explanations by virtue of random assignment. there can be problems of external validity
but internal is given a real booth. correct answers what does a 'true' experiment allow?
internal validity refers to whether the effects observed in a study are due to the manipulation of
the independent variable and not some other factor.
An experiment that is high in internal validity is able to prove that the independent variable
caused the dependent variable and no other variable did correct answers what is internal validity?
refers to the extent to which the conclusions from your research study can be generalized to the
people outside of your study correct answers what is external validity?
when there is too much it makes it more difficult to make some sort of inference. correct answers
what happens when you have too much systematic and random error?
tendency for values of a random variable to cluster around its mean, mode and median. correct
answers what is central tendency?
it is using sample data to make inferences about population parameter. if nothing else is known
sample statistics are best estimates of population. correct answers what are inferential statistics?
