| Question | Answer |
| sociocultural | social and cultural influence on human behaviour the effect of society and culture on behavior |
| experimental method | Advantage: reveal cause-effect relationships Control over experimental setting Disadvantages: less generalizable findings unless using field studies ETHICAL limitations of experiments |
| experimenter Bias | experimenter Bias: preconceived expectations cause them to find what tehy expect to find. |
| Placebo Effect: | placebo effect =improvement from power of suggestion Placebo= Sugar Pills or injection of saline solution use control group to test wheter results due to treatment or place effect. |
| Problems experimental | *selection *Placebo *Experimental |
| Experimental method advantage: | †*************** only research metjod to identify cause-effect relationships test hypothesis (educated guess) cause-effect relationship between two or more variables |
| correlation does not equal cause | stress could lead to illness |
| correlation does not prove causation | A correlation between two variables does not prove that a cause-effect relationship exist between them. there is a correlation between stress and illness, but that does not mean that stress necessarily causes illness, such as poverty or poor general health. |
| Correlation and prediction | Stronger relationship, better prediction correlation does not equal cause must use experimental method to conclude cause and effect ethical issue in research |
| Correlation coefficient | numerical value degree and prediction relationship between two variables +1.00 perfect positive correlation -1.00 perfect negative correlation |
| correlation method | used to determine degree of relationship (correlation) between two characteristics, events, or behaviours useful making prediction cannot determine cause |
| Survey research | †************"" Interview Interview's personal characteristics can influence responses internet there may not be bias issue |
| ************ survey research | ********* survey: representative sample instead of whole population Sample: part of population used representative sample Questionnaire quick and inexpensive |
| Naturalistic observation | Advantage study behaviour in nornal setting... reliable Disadvantage must wait for events to occur ****** observer bias can distort observation |
| *********** Natural observation | observe behaviour in natural setting record behaviour in natural setting no attempt to influence or control behaviour |
| descriptive research methods method | natural observation laboratory observation casr study method survey research correlation studies |
| applied research | example of research topics methods of improve memory or motivation therapies for mental disorder way to decrease stress |
| psychology | scientific study odlf behaviour scienfic study experiment a science since it uses it scientific method |
| applied research | goals applying research to life solving practical problem improving quality of life |
| basic research | nature of memory brain function motivation emotional expression cause of mental disorders exploring the subject matter |
| Basic research | seek new knowledge explore topics of understanding advances scientific understanding |
| *********** what is a theory? | Theory= a generL principle organi facts systematically Guides science research |
| ******* Influence | Apply*** principle to prevent unwanted occurrences Change condition to prevent unwanted ***occurrences*** bring about deaired ****outcomes*** ***solution** o outcome results |
| prediction | can specify conditions under which behaviour or event like to occur **whem Next??? understand likely wood of occurrence Predict |
| exploration | required understanding of condition understand causes of behavior understand causes of mental process ***why*** |
| description | make note about behaviour or situation observe observation=data Importance in early stage of reseach ****what*** |
| Goals of psycology | description explanation prediction influence |
| Titchener and structuralism | introduced psychology to North America analysed basic elements/ structure of conscious mental experience |
| ************** Introspection method of self-observation seen as not objective | Edward Bradford Titchener |
