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.
Due: Sunday by 11:59p.m.
1. Hypothesis, Choosing Subjects, and Variables.
ReplyDelete2. Independent- The factor that the experimenter manipulates or changes in a study.
Dependent- The factor in a study that changes or varies as a result of changes in the independent variable.
3.Survey Method- You use questions on feelings, opinions or behavior patterns. They can be done over the phone, over emails, or through the mail, so they are easily done. These are also very accurate.
Interview- Studying people face to face. I would choose this because you can see facial expressions when one is asked a tough question.
Case Study Method- Collecting personal background and whatnot. This would be useful because you could see if your subject had a troubled background.

ReplyDelete1. Independent and dependent variables. A hypothesis. Subjects are randomly divided into an experimental group and control group.
ReplyDelete2. The independent variable changes and the dependent variable changes due to the other factor.
3. Laboratory experiment is accurate, Field experiment has a setting that is more realistic than in a laboratory, and Interview allows the researcher to obtain personal, detailed information. I picked laboratory experiments because I like to participate in labs and accuracy is important to research. I picked field experiments because they sound like fun and when researching I like to have the realness that field experiments provide. I picked an interview because you get to be up close and personal and you get it straight from the horse's mouth.
1. Hypothesis, Independent and dependent variables, subjects, experimental groups, control groups, and dependent variable.
ReplyDelete2.The independent variable changes or varies in the study. The dependent variable changes as a result of the other factor.
3.Labratory method is accurate and the researcher can be objective I chose this because it is accurate and is based on the facts.
Interview method allows researchers to gain personal and detailed information this is good to use because it allows the researcher to know the truth, and hopefully will be able to find the root of the problem.
Field experiment is more realistic and hands on. I like this method because it allows researchers to go out and get there hands dirty.
1) Hypothesis, choosing subjects, variables, research, and data.
ReplyDelete2) The independent variable is one variable that is changed for varied by the researcher. The dependent variable is the variable that will change as a result of what another factor does.
3) Naturalistic observation, case study method, and psychological test. I chose these three because they seem to be able to get the best results. Naturalistic observation means that the behavior that is being study is 100% natural. It is not changed or altered in anyway. It's purer. Case study method would give a good answer for way one certain person is the way they are. It doesn't seem to create stereotypes or paint a certain people into a corner. And psychological tests can be very accurate with their results based upon what the person answered during the test.
1). Hypothesis, Subjects, experimental group, control group, independent, and dependent variables.
ReplyDelete2). Dependent- the factor in study that changes or varies as a result of changes in the independent variable. Independent- the factor that experimenter manipulates or changes in a study.
3). -Laboratory Experiment= Research can be completely objective. usually provides accurate behavior.
-Field Experiment= Setting is more realistic that in a lab.
-Interview= Researchers can obtain personal, detailed information.
These three are the most real study a person can do. And these three are also the most controlled.

1) Hypothesis, Choosing subject, variables
ReplyDelete2) Independent is the researcher changes or varies this factor in a study. In dependent it is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment.
3) Laboratory - Research can be completely objective. I chose it because you can actually do the experiment and find out what happens.
Interview - Research can obtain personal, detailed information. Because you can ask the person what you need to ask.
Field Experiment - Almost like a lab, but more realistic. I chose it because this way you get more of a feel of what you are doing. This could make the project easier for you to understand.
1- Part one write a hypothesis, part two choose your subjects, part three choose an experimental and control group, part four measure the dependent and independent variables.
ReplyDelete2- Independent variable is the factor that the experimenter manipulates or changes in a study. Dependent variable is the factor in a study that changes or varies as a result of changes in the independent variable.
3- I like the naturalistic observation because the subjects being studied don't know they are even being watched, true test results can be shown this way. Survey method is a good one because true feelings, opinions, or behavior patterns can be shown. Longitudinal method is also a good way of study by watching the same group of people over a period of time. I like all three of these methods because there is no stress put on an individual to do the "right thing".
1.) Hypothesis, choosing subject, variables
ReplyDelete2.) An independent variable is the factor the experimenter manipulates or changes in a study
A dependent variable is the factor in a study that changes or varies as a result of changes in the independent variable.
3.) Interview: the researcher can get more,detailed, and personal information.
Field Experiment: the setting is more realistic than in a laboratory.
Psychological Test: this method provide the accuracy and it's an objective information. I choose those methods because it's important to get a objective information and a personal information. Furthermore its good to experience it by hiself
1) Hypothesis, Choosing Subject, and Variables
ReplyDelete2) The Independent Variable is when the researcher changes or varies this factor in a study. Dependent is what you measure in the experiment and what is affected in the experiment.
3)Survey Method- Use questions on feelings, opinions or behavior patters. This can be done over the phone, e-mails, or through the mail. They are very accurate and pretty easy.
Interview- You can do this face to face. You study the person as they make different facial expressions and show different emotions through body language.
Field Experiment- Kind of like a lab. It could be easier for people to understand.
1.) Hypothesis, choosing the subject, and the variables
ReplyDelete2.) An independent variable is the variable that the person doing the experiment changes.
A dependent variable is the the variable that changes due to the changes of the independent variable.
3.) I like the naturalistic method because you can view your subjects without them even knowing and you can get accurate results.I also like the interview method because you can get results from the person face to face. I also like the Survey method because you can get results from your subject through mail, email, over the phone or in person.

ReplyDelete2. The Independent Variable is when the researcher changes the factor. Dependent is when you are able to measure the experiment and what is affected in the study.

I picked laboratory experiments because I like to participate in labs and accuracy is important to research. I picked field experiments because they sound like fun. I picked an interview because you get to be up close and personal and you get it straight from the source.

ReplyDelete2)the independent variable is the variable that the experimenter changes to alter the effects of the experiment. The dependent variable is changed by the independent variable
