Goverment report and the common rule
goverment effort to protect the rights of human subject of research
what units are analyzed in HDFS aside from indvidual human subject?
is conducted at the level of dyan not the indivual
-married
scores, number of compliments
why do social scientist use so many diffrent terms to describe thier study subject?
to protect the dignity of the people study
in what ways were the subject of the Turkegee study exploited by researchers?
men in the sample who had syphillis were never treated- amoxillion
how does research on children adhere to the requirement for informed consent?
child must be active , asset must not object
why do scientist not study the whole population they are intrested in?
can usually provided enough information so that it would be a waste of effort to target every single memebr of a population
What are the two types of sampling bias?
Selection Bias, Non reponse bias
WEIRD
Western ,educated, industtrailized, rich, decocratic
Name and briefly describe the two types of sampling strategies.
1.Probabilistic
every single subject in the sampling frame has an equal chance of being selected
- Non-probabilistic
which the subject has unequal chances of being selected
What are the three principles of ethical research according to the Belmont Report? What rules correspond with each principle?
- Respect for Person
informed consent
-assent to participate
2. Principle of beneficence
-anonymity
-confidential
- justice
-vulnerable population must not be exploited
-IRB
-risk and benefits
why do scientist use inclusion and exlusion criteria?
they use further evidence of selctive bias in the eventual sample
3 forms of non probablilty sampling
convience sampling
purposive sampling
voluntary response
How can you tell if a variable is conceptualized as subjective or objective?
subjective- exist only in the mind of the subject
objective-exist independently of any subject thought or opinions about it
How can you tell if a variable is conceptualized as numerical or categorical?
numerical- assign a numerical value to each subject when they are measured
categorical- subject to a group, category, when they are measured
What does an operational definition consist of?
- how the variables is measured
- what criteria or standard are applied to the data in order to assign the value
Name and briefly describe the self-report measures used in HDFS.
interviews-ask questions as part of a live interpesonal intraction, it can be done by phone, in person. (verbal). the data are more deep, nuanced and profiundly.
questionaires- ask a set of questions on paper or online but not as a direct verbal interaction- it can be a true or false question, multiple choice.
self-report tasks- works best when variables being measured are subjective and internal. such like daily dairies, story completion,vigenettes, demonstrations
What are the forms of measurement bias likely in self-report measurement?
-identify of the person who is conducting the interview,subject offers more or less information, or more less accurrate information,
-building rapport
-demographics
Name and briefly describe the forms of observational measurement used in HDFS.
Participant Observation- which the scientist becomes a member of a society group in order to observe the behavior of the group from a somewhat subjective position.
Naturalistic Observation-which the scientist directly observes behavior of the subject in a natural enviorment with no effort to shape the enviorment or elicit specific behavior or the particpate in that enviorment
Structured Observation- measurement of behavior in an enviorment that is shaped by the scientist so as to elicit specific behaviors.
What forms of measurement bias are likely with observational measures?
- Explicit coding strategies
- Observational Meaurement
- Blind the observer
why are bigger samples usually better than smaller samples?
bigger samples offer more precise estimate
