Lab, field, natural and quasi. 1 of 37 Name the 3 types of observations (6) Participant/ non-participant, covert/ overt, naturallistic/ controlled. 2 of 37 Name 3 ethical issues. Consent, protection from harm, deception. 3 of 37 Define covert. Behavior is watched without their consent. 4 of 37 Define the independent variable. The variable that is altered between condition. (changed) 5 of 37 Define the dependent variable. The variable that is being measured. 6 of 37 Name 3 types of sampling. Random, stratified, systematic and opportunity. 7 of 37 Name the three types of interview. Structured, semi-structured and unstructured. 8 of 37 Define standard deviation as a form of dispertion. How much the scores deviate from the mean. 9 of 37 What is a type 1 error? Where they view it as an alternative hypothesis but it is a null hypothesis. 10 of 37 What is a type 2 error? Where they view it as a null hypothesis but it is an alternative hypothesis. 11 of 37 Name 2 types of reliability. Internal, whether the method is consistently measuring, External, whether it is consistent over time. 12 of 37 Name the 2 different validities. Internal, how much the reults are due to manipulation, External, how much they can be generalized. 13 of 37 Name 3 types of validity. Face validity, construct, concurrent, content, temporal, population and context- ecological. 14 of 37 What way would a positive distribution lean towards? The y axis, the left. 15 of 37 Name the three steps of a content analysis. Read the data looking for themes, turn the data into codes and tally the number of circumstances. 16 of 37 What is a content analysis? Observable research which is studied indirectly, through analysing communication. 17 of 37 What is coding? Identifying categories in a set of data. 18 of 37 What is different between a content analysis and a thematic analysis? Thematic analysis- stays in the qualitative format. 19 of 37 What does a pilot study look for? It is a small scale trial which checks for flaws in the method. 20 of 37 Define a paradigm. Shared assumptions with scientific discipline. 21 of 37 Define a paradigm shift. A significant change in a theory. 22 of 37 Define objectivity. Where personal bias is minimised. 23 of 37 Define the empirical method. Approaches are based on gathering of evidence. 24 of 37 Define falsifiability. Results must be scientific if it is proved incorrect. 25 of 37 Define theory construct. Ability to construct theories from empirical methods. 26 of 37 Name the three stages of science. Pre-science, normal science and scientific revolution. 27 of 37 Define nominal data as a level of measurement. It can be placed into categories. 28 of 37 Define ordinal data as a level of measurement. The data can be ranked or ordered. 29 of 37 Define interval data as a level of measurement. The data has numerical scales. 30 of 37 What statistical test has nominal data, association and co variables? Chi squared. 31 of 37 What statistical test has ordinal data and is a correlation? Spearmans Rho. 32 of 37 What statistical test has ordinal data, is a difference and has independent groups? Mann Whitney. 33 of 37 What statistical test has ordinal data, is a difference and has repeated measures? Wilocoxon. 34 of 37 What statistical test has interval data, is a difference and independent groups? Unrelated t test. 35 of 37 What statistical test has interval data, is a difference and has repeated measures? Related t test. 36 of 37 What statistical test has interval data and is a correlation? Pearsons. 37 of 37
