To avoid bias and false conclusions, psychology, as a science, tries to be as objective as possible in its studies.
Your Assignment:
1). Name the parts to the Experimental procedure.
2). Explain the difference between an Independent and a Dependent variable.
3). Choose three different methods of research, describe the benefits of those methods and why you chose them over the others.
4). Comment on 2 of your classmates posts
Due: Sunday by 11:59p.m.
1.) Hypothesis, Choosing Subjects and Variables.
ReplyDelete2.)Independent is the thing you change. The dependent is the one that isn't changed.
3.) Field Experiment- happens outside the lab!
Psychological Test- accurate, objective information. Lab Experiment research can be completely objective. I choose these because i think you would get some pretty accurate information on what is being studied.
hey! we have the same #1!!!!!
Deleteand the same #2!!!!!!
psychological can be interpreted by different observers (isn't concrete)
Whoa, Kacee we chose the exact same two for the first couple. I agree for the obvious reasons that we both agree on the best method.
DeleteAccuracy is definitely huge when we are wanting information. The hardest thing would be ensuring that people are being honest. I find it hard to act like my natural self in an interview or survey.
DeleteI agree i think that they will all be very accurate.
DeleteUsing these methods over others will probably have the most accurate information
Delete1. hypothesis, choosing subjects, variables
ReplyDelete2. independent changes and dependent is the result of the change
3. lab- take subjects in a controlled environment.
field- take subjects in their natural environment.
survey- have a list of questions with many subjects
Carson i agree with you about the Lab and Field ovbiously, since i picked them! i don't know about Survey so much!! but It sounds like it would work!
Delete(:
I think people sometimes don't tell the entire truth on a survey, so that is why I didn't choose that method.
DeleteI think that viewing something in its natural habitat really help understand it better
Deletejob well done explaining everything carson
Delete1.) All experiments have a hypothesis that states the expected results. Then the experimenter chooses subjects on whom the experiment will be performed. After that, variables that affect the outcome of the experiment are chosen, one independent and one dependent.
ReplyDelete2.) An independent variable is the factor that the experimenter changes in a study while a dependent variable is the actor that changes or varies as a result of changes in the independent variable.
3.) Naturalistic Observation is studying a person without the subject knowing, which is helpful because the people will be on their normal behavior. Interview method is studying a person while talking to them face to face, which can gather detailed personal information. Case Study Method collects lengthy, detailed information about a person's background, which is good because one can get an idea of how the person views the world.
I don't know if I like the Case Study just because it seems like doing that would take so much time all of the time, getting all of the lengthy information.
Deletei agree about the naturalistic observation.
DeleteI think it would be a lot of fun to do a test using a Naturalistic Observation because we could get true results. The TV show "What Would You Do?" is a classic example of observing the public's reaction to certain situations.
Delete1. Question, Research, Determining Variables, Hypothesis, Methods, Choosing Subjects, Performing the Experiment, Recording and Analyzing the Data, Conclusion.
ReplyDelete2. An independent variable is chosen by the experimenter and can be changed and manipulated how the experimenter wants. The dependent variable is what the experimenter is going to measure in the experiment as a result of the changes to the independent variable.
3. Field Experiment- it provides a more realistic setting to study.
Naturalistic Observation- the subjects do not even know they are being studied so the action will be completely natural.
Survey Method- it allows people to take a cognitive approach to looking into what they think.
I agree with your methods! Good Choices Garret!! (:
DeleteI like the field expiriment because people would be outside and feel the test being performed as not being caged up inside
DeleteI think that the Naturalistic Observation is one of the best ways to study someone because they dont act differently.
Delete1.) Hypothesis, choosing subjects, and variables.
ReplyDelete2.) An independent variable means that a researcher changes or varies the factor in a study.
A dependent variable means that it will change as a result of what the other factor does.
3.) Field Experiment because the setting is more realistic than in the lab. you're actually going out and seeing something happen and variables changing.
Psychological Test - even though there is a chance of false information, the information that you do receive is usually accurate.
Survey Method - When you ask the people their opinions on a certain topic. This is nice because you can gather so many points of views in all the opinions you recieve.
I like the survey method also because anyone can partake
Deletei agree that field experiment would be good, because you get to go out and see it happen.
DeleteI agree with you i think that the survey method would work great also.
Delete1. If you are wanting to perform a expiriment you must have a controlled group and a variable group. you give the variable group the placebo.
ReplyDelete2. independent variable are the factors that the expirimenter manipulates or changes in a study and a dependent variable are factors in a study that changes or variables as a result of changes in the independent variable.
3. a. survey method, sample may not be honest or can be suprisingly accurate
b. interview, can obtain personal info. and may not be completly honest
c. field expiriment, setting is more realistic, and may not set the whole population as whole
I think that the survey method has to be anonymous to the people who submit answers.
DeleteSeeing something in its natural habitat definatly helps understand it.
Deletei agree with you haden
Delete1.hypothesis, choosing subjects, and variables.
ReplyDelete2. independent variable: the factor that the experimenter manipulates or changes in a study
dependent variable: the factor in a study that changes or varies as a result of changes in the independent variable.
3. Case Study Method:provides background information that my shed light on present behavior.
psychological Test: provides accurate, objective information, little chance of disorting results.
Interveiw: researcher can obtain personal, detailed information.
i chose these because psychological test is accurate, interview gets the persons sayings and what they think, and case study because it has background information
i agree with your post, Bre. good job
DeleteI also agree Bre. Nicely done.
Delete1) Hypothesis, choosing subjects, and variables.
ReplyDelete2) Independent variable- is the one you change, and dependent variable you keep the same, isn't changed.
3) Survey method, is when you gather information on feelings, opinions, and behavior patterns.
Case-Study method, provides background information that may shed light on present behaviors.
Field experiment, finding information not in a Laboratory.
I chose these ones because i feel like they would give the best information.
Great job Cass you fully answered the questions well!
DeleteI agree with your method!
Deletei also agree with your method cassidy
Delete1.) hypothosis, choosing subjects, Variables.
ReplyDelete2.) The "dependent variable" represents the output or effect, or is tested to see if it is the effect. The "independent variables" represent the inputs or causes, or are tested to see if they are the cause.
3.) Interview - because you get personal info.
Survey Method - Very accurate gathers info on feelings, and other patterns
Psychological Test - Provides accurate info.
good job an it, grant. sounds like you got it.
Deletegood job Grant nice blog
Delete1. the parts of the experimental procedure are hypothesis, the choosing subjects, the experimental and the control group, and then the conclusion based on the outcome of the independent and dependent variables from the research you discovered.
ReplyDelete2. the independent variable changes or varies the factor in a study. the dependent variable will change as a result of what the other factor does.
3. the methods of research are the laboratory experiment, field experiment, survey method, naturalistic obsercation, the interview, the case study method, the psycholocgical test, the logitudinal method, and the cross-sectional method.
I agree Tyler nice job
Delete1)hyphotheses, subjects, variables.
ReplyDelete2)independent variable is when scientist can change the subjects variables. Dependent is where the variables don't change.
3)Interview, researchers can obtain personal, detailed info.
psychological test, provides accurate, objective information
Field experiment, usually provides accurate information
I like your definitions of Independent and Dependant Variables!
Delete1.Hypothesis, Subject, and Variables.
ReplyDelete2.Independent is the variable that the experimenter changes. Dependent is the result of the experimenter's changes.
3.Survey Method, Case Study Method, and Cross-Sectional Method. The benefits for Survey Method is you can gather information on feelings, opinions, and behavior patterns.
The benefits for Case Study Methods are that it provides background information that may shed light on present behavior. the benefits for Cross-Sectional Method is that it is a sample that are used usually representative of population as a whole.
I chose them because they seem like the ones with the most benefits.
1. Hypothesis, Variables, and choosing subjects are the parts to the Experimental procedure.
ReplyDelete2. Independant variable means the researcher can change the variable when he wants. Dependent means it will change the results of what the other factors do.
3. Laboratory Experiment- Experiments done in the laboratory.
Naturalistic Observation- Behavior studied is completely natural.
Interview- Researcher can obtain personal, detailed information.
Derek i totally agreee bro nice blog, donny out
Delete1.The Hypothesis, choosing subjects, and variables.
ReplyDelete2.Independant is the factor that the experimenter manipulaters or changes in a study and dependant is the factor in a study that changes or varies as a result of changes in the independant variable.
3.Field Experiement a benefit is the setting is more realistic than in a labratory.
Naturalistic is a benefit because of behavior studied is completely natural.
Interview benefit is that the Researcher can obtain personal, detailed information.
1.) Hypothesis, Choosing Subjects and Variables.
ReplyDelete2.)Independent is changed. The dependent is not changed.
3.) Field experiment,happens outside the lab. Lab experiment, research can be completely objective. Interview, the researcher can obtain personal detail. I choose these 3 because think they let the researcher get more personal data and more details.
1-Hypothesis, choosing subjects, and variables
ReplyDelete2-the independent variable changes or varies the factor in a study. the dependent variable will change as a result of what the other factor does
3-Laboratory Experiment- Experiments done in the laboratory.
Naturalistic Observation- Behavior studied is completely natural.
Interview- Researcher can obtain personal, detailed information
