16
Q

Reactivity

A

Occurs when the process of observing or otherwise measuring behavior causes that behavior to change

17
Q

Participant observation

A

The observer becomes a part of the group or social setting being studied

18
Q

Ethnography

A

A qualitative research approach that often combines participants observations with interviews to gain an integrative description of social groups

19
Q

Structured observation

A

A researcher fully or partly figure is the setting in which behavior will be observed

20
Q

Behavioral coding systems

A

Involve classifying participants responses into mutually exclusive categories

21
Q

Observer rating and ranking scales

A

Used to evaluate participants behavior or other characteristics

22
Q

Diary

A

Asked participants to record their behaviors are experiences for defined periods of time or whenever certain events take place

23
Q

Interobserver reliability

A

Represents the degree to which independent observers show agreement in their observations

24
Q

Focal sampling

A

Used to select a particular member or unit such as a parent infant dyad who will be observed at any given time

25
Scan sampling
Preselected times the observer rapidly scans each member of a group so that the entire group is observed within a relatively short period
26
Situation sampling
Used to establish diverse settings in which behavior is observed
27
Time sampling
Used to select a representative set of time periods during which observations will occur
28
Blind observation
Observer should be kept unaware of all hypotheses being tested and any key information about participants that relates to those hypotheses
29
Habituation
A decrease in the strength of response overtime to repeated stimulus
30
Unobtrusive measure
Assess his behavior without making people aware that the behavior is being measured
31
Physical trace measures
Which unobtrusively examine traces of behavior that people create or leave behind
32
Archival records
Previously existing documents are other data that were produced independently of the current research
