Q

Intentional properties def + example

A

Meaning that people assign to the properties of a thing or phenomena (if it involves ppl, then meaning matters)
Example: measuring sound waves would be the material properties, but when those waves hit our ears we make meaning of them (INTENTIONAL)

Q

Strong relativism def

A

Ppl’s realties differ relative 2 perception (in particular our reality is created thru language - e.g. colours?), view that our representations of things in the world r socially constructed + can’t b seen as simple reflections of how these things actually r

Q

Critical realism def

A
  1. Lies in between naïve realism n strong relativism
  2. Disagrees w/ strong relativism in that there is a reality independent of our own perceptions, agrees w/ it in that understanding of reality is somewhat culturally + historically specific (research can never b truly objective)
  3. Agrees w/ realist position that our knowledge of smth doesn’t bring it into existence

Q

Positivism def (typically quantitative)

A

View that knowledge + meaning is waiting 2 b discovered and is then considered ‘true’ until disproven (thru research)
1. Knowledge can only b gained thru observation, researchers should be sceptical using participant reports (not v subjective)

Q

Social constructivism def (typically qualitative)

A

View that knowledge + meaning is being generated by attempts to explain the human world
1. Science is impacted on by the historical, political, and social context etc.
2. U can never know objective truth, research methods that look 4 meaning in the world r seen as more useful
3. Knowledge can b created w/ in the research itself

Q

Double hermeneutic in qualitative research

A

Within a qualitative interview or focus group there r 2 levels of interpretation:
1. Participant trying to make sense of the research topic
2. Researcher is trying to make sense of how the participant is trying to make sense of their world

Q

Qualitative view of participant involvement + ethics implications

A

‘Participants’ should be fully engaged in the research (doing the research with them not on them), co-creation of knowledge
1. Co-researchers may require research training (data could contain personal/identifying info - need 2 b sensitive)
2. Needs 2 b approved by ethics committee

Q

Cultural sensitivity def + example application

A

Contemporary research privileges Western ways of knowing (predominantly a realist ontology - 1 true reality independent of perception), need 2 b sensitive 2 other cultures’ existence
Example application: interviewers have 2 build rapport, think on their feet; may have 2 repair damage, b more than just a neutral listener

Q

Deception + protection from harm (guidelines by NZ Psych Society):

A
  1. Deception only used when no alternative - never w/ children, never in qualitative research (want 2 explicitly know participant’s perception of that topic)
  2. Can b important in experimental research where awareness reduces the effect (e.g. prejudice)
  3. Once u use it, important 2 debrief participant - disclose deception, offer info abt sources of help when relevant

Patterns of language that represent, foster, + circulate versions of reality (shared versions of ‘how things are’), media helps construct + reflect these collective understandings

56
Q

3 main types of media elicitation studies

A
  1. Researcher-led
  2. Participant-led
  3. Primary media analysis
57
Q

Researcher-led media elicitation

A

Media stimuli pre-selected by researchers, can b real or mock media

58
Q

Participant-led media elicitation

A

Media gathered by participants (can be done in real time), e.g. asking participants to choose + share media on the topic of gender n emotions

59
Q

Primary media analysis photo elicitation

A

Media itself is the focus (no participants, just media)

60
Q

Code def

A
  1. Refers 2 kind of shorthand language that everyone shares + understands, thru which we can communicate larger ideas
  2. Refers 2 set of rules/way of behaviour 2 follow
61
Q

Mixed methods research def

A

Research in which investigator collects n analyses data, integrates findings + draws inferences using both qualitative and quantitative approaches or methods in a single study

62
Q

What philosophy drives mixed methods?

A

Philosophy of pragmatism - the end justifies the means, research cannot b solely driven by theory or data (non-purist position)

63
Q

4 key factors of mixed methods design

A
  1. Implementation - order of data collection (did data from 1 inform the other)
  2. Priority - priority may b equally shared among qualitative n quantitive data, but not usually
  3. Integration - stage in which diff types of data r integrated
  4. Theoretical perspective - ultimate goal of study is 2 advocate 4 change
64
Q

At what stage does integration in mixed methods typically occur?

A

Interpretation phase, right at the end

65
Q

Implementation: sequential def

A

Qualitative data collected b4 quantitative OR quantitative data collected b4 qualitative

66
Q

Implementation: concurrent def

A

Collected @ same time

67
Q

4 key mixed methods designs:

A
  1. Sequential explanatory (quant informs qual, both methods of equal priority)
  2. Sequential exploratory (qual informs quant, both methods of equal priority)
  3. Concurrent triangulation (occur @ same time, equal priority)
  4. Concurrent nested (occur @ same time, not equal priority)
68
Q

Basic research (pure or blue skies) def

A

Learning abt fundamental elements of a topic, better understanding of theory is inherently valuable. NO consideration of any direct practical application.

69
Q

Which typically goes first - basic or applied research?

A

Basic –> applied

70
Q

What research type is ‘yes’ 2 fundamental knowledge + immediate application.. ?

A

Pasteur’s Quadrant - inspired basic research, rigorous in research but also worried abt real-world applications
1. Most psych research occurs w/ in this realm

71
Q

What research type is ‘yes’ 2 fundamental knowledge + no 2 immediate application.. ?

A

Bohr’s Quadrant - most pure level of basic research, typically conducted in a lab/impoverished context of participant (remove as many elements as possible 2 focus on topic of research)

72
Q

What research type is ‘no’ 2 fundamental knowledge + yes 2 immediate application.. ?

A

Edison’s Quadrant (pure applied research)

73
Q

What research type is ‘no’ 2 fundamental knowledge + immediate application.. ?

A

Tinkering - what’re u actually looking 2 achieve (usually anecdotes or common sense, often inaccurate)

74
Q

Cross-sectional research def

A

Research in which data r compared at a single point in time (e.g. census)

75
Q

Cross-sectional research pros:

A
  1. Simple
  2. Quick
  3. Inexpensive
  4. Valuable 4 generating hypotheses (gain descriptive info) - findings can b built upon
76
Q

Cross-sectional research cons:

A
  1. Difficult if not impossible 2 make causal inferences (can’t investigate temporal relationships)
  2. Difficult 2 study rare phenomena (might take ‘snapshot’ at wrong time)
  3. Common assessment variance
77
Q

Common assessment variance def

A

Outcomes r influenced by variable that doesn’t directly influence ur concepts but changes how ppl answer
1. Example: everyone given $100 walking into lecture, then get assessed on happiness

78
Q

Criteria 4 causal conclusions:

A
  1. Proposed cause and effect are related
  2. Proposed cause occurs prior to effect
  3. We can rule out feasible alternative explanations
  4. Proposed cause works through an articulated mechanism - offer some kind of mechanism 4 those things being related
79
Q

Strengths of longitudinal research

A

Causal inference (clear temporal relationships)

80
Q

Weaknesses of longitudinal research

A
  1. Participant attrition (some will stop answering questions over time)
  2. Over time other variables can contaminate results
  3. Temporal erosion - time can change the way variables interact w/ one another (e.g. asking someone abt an ad they saw ages ago)
81
Q

Psych interventions def

A

Applied element of psych, ultimately aiming 2 change smth

82
Q

3 Ts of social psych interventions:

A
  1. Targeted - intervention should be given to those who need it, not delivered indiscriminately
  2. Tailored - interventions should fit the motivational mechanism and the situation (understanding of context)
  3. Timely - intervention should b delivered at the right time
83
Q

When did father of modern psych William James die/when did modern psych really get established?

A

He died in 1910, psych only around 4 abt 114 years

84
Q

What did early modern psych focus on?

A
  1. Focus was on the individual/intrapersonal
  2. Behaviourist principles dominated
  3. Discrimination/prejudice/bias
85
Q

Lewin’s equation of human behaviour:

A

Behaviour = function of (the person x the enviro)

86
Q

Interactionist perspective (supported by Lewin) def

A

Dynamic interplay of person + enviro

87
Q

Tajfel’s findings 4 MGP allocation task:

A
  1. Parity was most modal response
  2. Significant number of in-group favouritism strategies favoured
  3. Demonstrated maximum differentiation strategies (biggest difference), despite losing out on largest profit 2 do so
88
Q

Parity def

A

Give exact same amount 2 in-group + out-group

89
Q

Pull scores def (Tajfel MGP allocation task)

A

What allocation strategy participants r using

90
Q

2 general types of ‘other people’:

Individuals (might not know who they r) + groups (e.g. parents, ur soccer team)

91
Q

Descriptive norms def

A

Behaviour considered typical

92
Q

Injunctive/prescriptive norms def

A

Behaviour considered ‘proper’

93
Q

Dynamic norms def

A

Awareness of changing norms
1. Most descriptive n injunctive norms r seen as static - dynamic norms draw attention 2 the change of a norm over time instead of its current state

94
Q

How r dynamic norms a mechanism 4 change?

A

They suggest ongoing change - if there is an idea that norm is changing, it might change behaviour

95
Q

Types of social psych data collection:

A

Self-reports, observation, archival data

96
Q

What’s an important assumption 2 make when using a Likert scale?

A

Psychological distance between options is equal

97
Q

What r the most common number of points on a Likert scale?

A

5, followed by 7 and 4.
90% of studies use odd number of points + 10% even.

98
Q

Likert scale pros:

A
  1. Provides objective numerical values 2 analyse (can compare groups)
  2. Adds a qualitative element 2 the data
  3. More sensitive than having 2 responses like just ‘yes’ or ‘no’ (e.g. ‘yes’ I drink weekly could mean 5x or 1x)
  4. Better than using larger scale like 1-100 (difficult 2 decided where to group - 1-10? 1-5?)
99
Q

Likert scale cons:

A
  1. Difficulty in responding (could b due 2 lack of understanding w/ in language or w/ translation)
  2. Out of range responding (does scale prompt unavailable responses such as ‘yes’ or ‘no’)
  3. Varied patterns of responding (might not answer Likert scales in the same way, could be due 2 cultural variations in how participant groups cluster their answers)
  4. Scale reliability (are all of the items measuring the same thing)
  5. Construct validity (are we measuring what we want 2)
100
Q

Do Westerners have higher self-enhancement than Easterners?

A

Yes. Example: ‘I feel that I have a number of good qualities’ (5-point scale) –> 93% of Euro-Canadians answered above mid-point compared to 55% of Japanese

101
Q

Internal consistency def

A

Extent to which things that claim to measure various aspects of the same thing actually do

102
Q

Internal consistency for Likert scales measured by Cronbach’s Alpha

A

0 means no relationship between items, 1 = perfect relationship.
Generally want to be over 0.7; at 0.95 items are redundant (measuring exact same thing).

103
Q

When should u use words instead of images for Likert scales with children?

A

Over age 6, use images and words; over age 8, use words.

104
Q

Self-report cons:

A
  1. Poor question design, could b leading or ambiguous
  2. Typically relies on memory
  3. Misleading responses - might b directly trying 2 get a particular response
105
Q

Observational research 3 key points:

A
  1. Doesn’t rely on memory
  2. Uses inter-rater reliability
  3. Participant awareness of being watched (if they know they’re being watched they’ll act different)
106
Q

What percentage of agreement between researchers is necessary for inter-rater reliability?

A

At least 80%

107
Q

Archival data cons:

A

Context of data can change, which in turn may change data’s meaning

108
Q

Strengths of natural experiment design:

A
  1. Real-world data → ecologically valid (degree 2 which results r representative of conditions in the wider world)
  2. Can incorporate a range of data collection methods (not experimental, don’t have 2 have participants in lab)
  3. Can look @ quite a large scale?
109
Q

Weaknesses of natural experiment design:

A
  1. Confounding variables
  2. Control group not always possible
110
Q

Wu et al., 2016

A
  1. Imagine u r 30 yrs old, married, financially independent, n living separately from ur parents
  2. Ur house is burning down - would u choose 2 save ur mother or spouse?
  3. Taiwan - 72.7% chose mother, U.S. - 75% chose spouse –> diff cultural values
111
Q

Cultural cycle (Markus & Conner, 2014) - simplified version:

A

Individual –> interactions –> institutions –> ideas and back again

112
Q

Does the cultural cycle operate more @ the conscious or unconscious level?

A

Largely @ the unconscious level - steering the self w/ out troubling the conscious mind

113
Q

Richmond et al., 1992

A
  1. Looking @ maternal responsiveness (how much do mothers look @ children + what does it mean 4 child’s development)
  2. Initial thinking was critical variable was mother (how much does mother respond)
  3. Looked @ maternal responsiveness in the U.S. + in Western Kenya → Kenyan mothers significantly lower in responsiveness (failed 2 take into acc that those children were not raised solely by their mothers)
114
Q

Whaley et al., 2002

A

When all caregivers r taken into acc n not just mothers, the difference between Kenyan and U.S. styles of interacting is not found → began 2 question Western domination of psych

115
Q

Heine’s categories of psych universals:

A
  1. Non-universal - process doesn’t exist in all cultures
  2. Existential universal - process is present but used in diff ways (qualitatively distinct)
  3. Functional universal - process is present n used in same way, but not necessarily @ same level of accessibility
  4. Accessibility universal - process is present, used in same way, + has same level of accessibility
116
Q

Accessibility universal example

A

Mere exposure effect - tendency 2 experience positive affect towards familiar objects compared 2 unfamiliar objects

117
Q

Existential universal example

A

Success or failure could motivate students in diff. Ways (White & Lehman, 2005) → Euro-Canadian students motivated by success, while failure motivated Asian-Canadian students

118
Q

Cumulative cultural evolution def

A

Beneficial modifications r accumulated over time (ppl work out what is beneficial + modify behaviour based on that understanding).
Imitation helps w/ ongoing cycle of knowledge → can innovate on top of someone’s past knowledge (e.g. evolution of hammer).

119
Q

What is the most reliable route for cultural learning?

A

Imitative learning, not emulative bc it’s hard to accumulate knowledge that way

120
Q

Emulative learning

A

Learner tries 2 understand ‘thing’ 4 themselves, focuses on environmental events around the model + not their intentions

121
Q

Nagell et al., 1993

A
  1. Children imitated (children shown teeth down continued 2 use less effective method)
  2. Chimps emulated (more commonly used teeth up - most effective)
122
Q

Herrmann et al., 2007 (looking @ 2.5 yr old children, chimpanzees, orangutans)

A
  1. Children imitated, animals emulated.
  2. Chimps + orangutans better w/ physical tasks, children much better w/ social tasks
123
Q

Cross-cultural psych def

A

Provides a methodology for comparing cultures
1. Uses comparative research methods (often quantitative/generalised n standardised)
2. Looks @ people x their culture = social norms, beliefs etc., compares to other group

124
Q

Etic research def (comes from word phonetic - study of universal sound)

A

Research in which a classification system is imposed on what is being studied, classification or criteria is external 2 what’s being studied.
Often comparisons between cultures.

125
Q

Emic research (comes from phonemic - study of sound unique 2 particular languages)

A

Research in which the classification system is discovered within, rather than imposed

126
Q

Granovetter’s Riot Model (limitations of strictly comparative approach, especially from an etic POV)

A
  1. Each person has unique threshold 2 engage in violence
  2. Town A (mean: 49.50), Town B (mean: 49.51) - almost exact same distribution, but Town B has no individual w/ a ‘3’ threshold → Town A has full riot, Town B doesn’t
  3. Intergroup comparison not always most useful 4 understanding behaviour, as seen w/ Town A + Town B being almost indistinguishable
127
Q

‘Insider’ research def (under umbrella of emic research)

A
  1. Researcher is part of the social group or culture
  2. Involves high level of positionality + reflexivity
128
Q

Challenges of insider research:

A
  1. Presumptions abt shared understandings
  2. Pre-existing relationships could interfere w/ conversation topics
  3. Complexity in positions of power - if ur low in hierarchy, might not b comfy interviewing necessary ppl
129
Q

Core elements of Indigenous psychologies (that u might forget):

A
  1. Research is conducted bottom-up + from w/ in
  2. Outcomes designed 2 benefit its people
  3. Methodologically diverse - mostly qualitative (primarily concerned w/ intentional meanings), but doesn’t rule out quantitative
130
Q

What does the concept of Indigenous psych say abt the accessibility universal?

A

Doesn’t exist

131
Q

Kaupapa Māori principles (Walker et al., 2006)

A
  1. Tino rangatiratanga (Māori privileged, Māori-led)
  2. Social justice (restore ea)
  3. Māori worldview as legitimate
  4. Te reo Māori (incorporated as much as possible, some concepts need 2 be in te reo)
  5. Whānau
132
Q

Ethnographic research def

A

More than describing specific stories, more than interviews or focus groups bc it includes observations

133
Q

Māori men: An indigenous psych perspective on the interconnected self (Rua et al., 2017)

A

Found 4 main themes:
1. Tūrangawaewae (marae described as important element of tūrangawaewae)
2. Whānau (whānau were sounding boards n helped interviewees 2 recall particular events)
3. Kaumātua (elders, strong sense of respect 4 kaumātua)
4. Whakapapa n whanaungatanga (interconnected Māori self must b experienced materially - e.g. kanohi kitea/a face seen)

134
Q

Indigenous storytelling in a team context (Hapeta et al., 2019)

A

Looking @ a NZ rugby team, found:
1. Coaches embraced Māori storytelling n symbols throughout coaching, developed a maunga of success (physical → technical + tactical → brotherhood → leadership → performance)
2. Players talked abt maunga helping them achieve success and belonging, more representative Māori mascot brought greater sense of cultural identity n mana

135
Q

He Awa Whiria – Braided Rivers Model (Macfarlane & Macfarlane, 2019)

A

Aim is 2 blend Indigenous n Western bodies of knowledge in a way that is more powerful than either individual stream alone
