1Define methodological pluralism:
- AUse of multi-method approach to gain greater understanding
- BUnite theories for greater understanding, e.g. single construct needs to be understood from multiple perspectives
- CEmpirical reasoning, e.g. verifiable by observation, not just logic
- DKnowledgeable statement which is testable and concerns area of interest
2Uniting theories for greater understanding, e.g. understanding single construct from multiple perspectives, is known as:
- ATheoretical ecumenism
- BMethodological pluralism
- CScientific methods
- DStatistical hypothesis
3The [blank_start]scientific[blank_end] method uses [blank_start]empirical[blank_end] reasoning, which is verifiable by observation, not just logic
- Ascientific
- Bempirical
- Cdeductive
- Dintuitive
- Eobservational
4Define research hypothesis:
- AKnowledgeable statement which is testable and concerns area of interest
- BBased on research hypothesis, quantifying area of interest
- CUse of multi-method approach to gain greater understanding
- D68% of data must fall within 1 standard deviation of the average mean to be normally distributed
5Define statistical hypothesis:
- ABased on research hypothesis, quantifying area of interest - e.g. will group 1 be same/not same as group 2
- BKnowledgable statement which is testable concerning area of interest
- CProbability of achieving effect of that size if null hypothesis is true
- DUse of multi-method approach to gain greater understanding
6Identify type I error:
- ABelieve there's a genuine effect when there's not
- BBelieve there's no effect when there is
7Identify type II error:
- ABelieve there's no effect when there is
- BBelieve there's a genuine effect when there isn't
8Small effect size accounts for [blank_start]1%[blank_end] of variance, medium effect size accounts for [blank_start]9%[blank_end], large effect size accounts for [blank_start]25%[blank_end]
- A1%
- B5%
- C9%
- D10%
- E25%
- F50%
9It is [blank_start]rare[blank_end] for single thing to have a [blank_start]large[blank_end] impact, it is usually made of up lots of little effects
- Arare
- Bcommon
- Clarge
- Dsmall
10Experiments allow for control and manipulation to identify cause of behaviour, this allows the research to identify: (3)
- AMutual relationship (covariation)
- BTemporal precedence (what comes first)
- CRule out rival explanations as confounding variables controlled
- DMinimise random errors
11Identify factors effecting internal validity: (5)
- AHistory: what happened in mean time
- BMaturation: have participants changed
- CInstrumentation: valid instruments
- DSelection: e.g. only psychology students selected
- EAttrition: drop-out rates
- FTask: ecologically valid
- GSetting: limited to setting
- HTime: could time have impact
- IParticipants: can we generalise
12Identify factors effecting external validity: (4)
- ATask: ecologically valid
- BSetting: limited to setting
- CTimes: could time have effect
- DParticipants: can we generalise
- EHistory: what happened in the mean time
- FMaturation: have participants changed
- GInstrumentation: valid instruments
- HSelection: e.g. only psychology students
- IAttrition: drop-out rates
13Identify systematic error:
- AFor example, only men in 1 condition and women in other. Minimised using good design.
- BFor example, use of participant pool = only uni students, or having slightly unequal amount of women to men. Less problematic.
14Identify random error:
- AFor example, use of participant pool = only uni students, or having slightly unequal amount of women to men. Less problematic.
- BFor example, only men in 1 condition and women in other. Minimised using good design.
