- Day Care Research - Evaluation
- Shea
- High ecological validity
- Naturalistic observation
- Video tape means it still has high control as can go back and re-watch things missed
- Videotaped so children dont behave differently as don't know are being observed
- Naturalistic observation
- Reliability
- Videotaped so lots of researchers can check inter-rater reliability
- Reliable means results meaningful beyond study
- Long-term study
- Avoids participant variables
- Can study change over time
- Results take a long time to collect
- High ecological validity
- Di Lalla
- Low ecological validity
- Based in lab - conditions artificial
- Only played for 20 mins
- Children didn't know each other
- Knew were being observed - behaved differently
- May be reacting to new environment and strangers
- low internal validity
- Based in lab - conditions artificial
- Correlational evidence
- Collection of data
- Used rating scales - different researchers interpret differently
- Results less reliable
- Used rating scales - different researchers interpret differently
- Low ecological validity
- EPPE
- Large sample size (3000)
- Makes results more representative of a wider population
- More chance there was a variety of children from different backgrounds
- Triangulation of data (used many different methods)
- Increases reliability and validity
- But unclear on how were operationalised so may be unreliable
- Large sample size (3000)
- Research outlines mind map
