Research Methodd

Question 1

What is ur research Method for learn

Answer 1

Observation

Question 2

Observation do what

Answer 2

Helps us understand things before we do research

Question 3

Observation in terms of influence on behaviour

Answer 3

No change behaviour / conditions

Question 4

Experiment in terms of influence on behaviour

Answer 4

Change to condition to see its effect on individual

Question 5

Time sampling

Answer 5

Write down what happens at a set time frame I.e every 5 mins

Question 6

Event sampling

Answer 6

Write down behaviour you expect then tally when it happens

Question 7

Strenght and weakness fo time sampling

Answer 7

Easier 😝
Can miss important events 🤮

Question 8

Strength and weakness of event sampling

Answer 8

Less likely to miss expected events
🤩
Can miss unexpectedly events 😫

Question 9

What is inter reliability

Answer 9

Having multiple researchers observing behaviour and coding it
Every1 must agree
Bad > all may not agree
Good> all agree

Question 10

All types of observations

Answer 10

Natural
Structural
Covert
Overt
Ppt
Non ppt

Question 11

Natural

Answer 11

Researcher observes subject un real life environment

Question 12

Structured

Answer 12

Manipulation of behaviour
Change the environment the are in then observe

Question 13

Overt

Answer 13

Ppts know they are being watched

Question 14

Covert

Answer 14

Ppts don’t know they are being watched

Question 15

Ppts

Answer 15

Researcher part of group and takes part in events that occur

Question 16

Non ppts

Answer 16

Researcher doesn’t take part

Question 17

Strength of natural

Answer 17

Increase ecological validity
More likely to act natural

Gives researchers insight into new cultures

Question 18

Weakness of natural

Answer 18

More likely to be covert
Has ethical issues as researchers can’t get consent

Natural environment = difficult to replicate due to many variables

Question 19

Strength for structured

Answer 19

In a controlled environment therefore researchers can focus on specific behaviours ie by manipulating toy

Question 20

Weakness of structural

Answer 20

Low ecological validity
May no longer be a natural environment and ppts may not act natural

Ppts may gain deman characteristics which would make them act unnatural because they are being watched

Question 21

Strength and weakness of overt

Answer 21

No ethical issues b3cause we can gain informed consent from each ppt
Easier to see everything because research doesn’t have to be hidden 😀

Ppts may gain demand characteristics and change behaviour because they know they are being watched 🫤

Question 22

Strength and weakness for covert

Answer 22

Ppts behave more naturally as they are not aware they arr being observed - no demand characteristics

Raises ethical issues due to the lack of informed consent

Question 23

Strength of ppts

Answer 23

Can get special insights into behaviour from the inside and see things in greater detail than an outsider

Question 24

Weakness of ppts

Answer 24

Decrease Objectivity
Observer may get bias and not give full detail as they may gain emotional attachments to said subjects

More difficult to take notes and leading to memory changing and of its overt ppts will change behaviour

Question 25

Strength and weakness of non ppts

Answer 25

Increases Objectivity Research wouldn't have any emotional ties to the ppts and would make them have less biased observations observer may misinterpret communications within the group as they’re outsider reduces validity of observations

Question 26

Content analysis

Answer 26

Qualitative ( via event sampling) > quantitative via tally > make themes First choose artifacts Make observations based codes man and tally When you see the or behaviour code

Question 27

Strenght of content analysis

Answer 27

Can repeat the process with someone else and test for reliability of data analysis Must apply to question

Question 28

Weakness for content analysis

Answer 28

Record date by tally predicted but can't explain why behaviours are displayed Must apply

Question 29

All the things to say about animals

Answer 29

How animals are used in research Differences between animals and human Strength and weakness of animal research

Question 30

How are animals used in research

Answer 30

Studying genes: studying the effect of genes in development of abnormalities Studying brain structures: seeing effects of damaged brain parts on behaviour

Question 31

How are animals different from humans

Answer 31

Animals humans Primarily driven driven by by instinct instinct but use Reasoning Research Method ; Drugs questionnaires More complex Thought, culture Into behaviour Smaller bigger Cortical brain Cortical areas Areas

Question 32

Strength and weakness the use of animals in research into human behaviour

Answer 32

Strength Highly controllable and predictable Apply with an example Weakness Humans have high complexities and social issues that influence behaviour Animals wouldn't understand

Question 33

Evaluate the use of animals in research Evaluate the ethical concerns of animal research
