- Observation
- 3 main types of observation
- natural
- everything incuding varibles remain natural
- high ecological validity
- no control over IV
- everything incuding varibles remain natural
- controlled
- controlled variables in a controlled settings
- controll over settings lowers the validity
- high control over extraniouse variables
- controlled variables in a controlled settings
- feild
- controlled varibeles in a natural settings
- control over variables and ecological validity
- can't be sure extraneouse variables don't affect IV
- controlled varibeles in a natural settings
- natural
- sampleing
- time
- pre determine time and record eveyhing that happen in that time
- event
- recording an event everytime it happens
- time
- strengths
- only way to see actual beahviour
- has ecological validity
- give an insight into behaviour
- weaknesses
- ethics
- hawthorne effects
- hard to replicate
- observational designs
- participant
- resercher join the observation
- insight into behaviour
- observer bias
- resercher join the observation
- non - participant
- resercher don't join the observation
- no obsever bias or lost of objectivity
- can't get an insight into observation
- resercher don't join the observation
- disclosed
- participant know they are been studied
- consent given
- hawthorne effects
- participant know they are been studied
- undisclosed
- participant don't know that they are been studied
- no consent
- no hawthorne effects
- participant don't know that they are been studied
- structured
- useing a pre determing behaviour list and tick off what happen
- may miss important data
- quantitative data - comparison
- useing a pre determing behaviour list and tick off what happen
- unsturctured
- recording everything that happen
- participant
- reliability and validity
- inter - rater reliability or a piolot study
- comparing results of two or more observer - strong positive correlation
- observer bias and hawthorne effect
- affects the validity of the observation
- inter - rater reliability or a piolot study
