Clues

  • As one variable increases, the other decreases. (8, 11)
  • If the study has an impact on any aspect of their character or personality it is classed as psycholoically damaging. (13, 4)
  • Interviewer mainly asks prewritten questions but they may ask follow-on questions to clarify the response. Open or closed questions. The interviewer does not need much training as the interview is easy to conduct. (10, 9)
  • Involves using different participants in each condition, but participants are matched with another participant in the other group. Their pair is similar to them in a number of ways. (7, 6, 7)
  • Names of the reviewer are not revealed to the researcher. This allows for an unbiased review free from interference from the researcher. This may delay the review process as they may take that persons research and use it as their own. (6, 5, 6)
  • Relevant details of the study need to be explained to the participants before and after the study. Debrief is important if deception was used.Participants should be in the same mental and physical state when they leave. (18)
  • The researcher and reviewer are anonymous. Researcher bias will not occur and research will be peer reviewed fairly and not based on the reasearchers fame or lack of fame. Researcher may be identified by writing style. (6, 5, 6)
  • These are research methods in which participants give information about themselves. (4, 6, 10)
  • This is how you overcome order effects. It is where the group of participants are split into two and perform the tasks in a different order. This ensures that each condition is tested 1st or 2nd in equal amounts. Differences will be balanced out. (16)
