EWT : Lab experiments Flashcards
what is specific about a lab experiment
highly controlled and artificiall setting
apply this point of lab experiments being highly controlled and in an artificial setting to crim psych
lab experiments are conducted in a highly controlled artificial setting away from the EW everyday enviroment of a prison
what does the researcher then do
leading questions are manipulated by the researcher
what does this measure
the accuracy of the EWT
what is anouther point on lab experiments
a EWT of cuase and effect involving two or more conditions
what are these two or more conditions
leading questions and accuracy of EWT
in a lab experiment what is controlled
all extranious variables
give two example of extranious variables
light intensity, furnishing
what however is deliberate
manipulation of leading questions by researcher
what is random
allocation of EW to conditions
what kind of enviroment is it
highly controlled
what does this mean
a standerdised procedure is used
define lab experiments as used in criminal psychology (6 marks)
- a lab experiment is set in a highliy controlled artificial setting away from the EW evrydayd enviroment of a prison
- leading questions are manipulated by the researcher to measure the accurcy of the EWT
-EWT of cuase and effect involving two or more conditions ( leading questions and accuracy of EWT)
-all extranious variables aimed to be controlled (light intensity, furnishing) while deliberate manipulation of leading questions by researcher - random allocation of EW to conditions
-highly controlled enviroment so standerdised procedure is used
