CP: Lecture 10 Research

Question 1

type of method depends on:

Answer 1

Research question
* Target group
* Fundamental vs. applied

Limitations / strengths
* Internal & external validity
* Correlation – directionality - causality

Practical possibilities and constraints
* Accessibility of target group
* Time & money

Question 2

2 types of exploratory designs

Answer 2

Case studies
Qualitative research

Question 3

3 goals van exploratory designs

Answer 3

1. rich descriptions
2. generating hypotheses
3. disproving hypotheses

Question 4

Ecological momentary assessments ( EMAs )

Answer 4

study people’s thoughts and behaviour in their daily lives by repeatedly collecting data in an individual’s normal environment, at or close to the time they carry out that behaviour.

Question 5

wat is the solution for the problem of generalisability

Answer 5

correlational research with representative sample

Question 6

what is the solution for the directionality problem

Answer 6

longitudinal research or ecolocial momentary assessment

Question 7

what is the solution for causality

Answer 7

confirmatory research (= analogue research) -> are these really determinants?

Question 8

hoe memory bias oplossen bij qualitative research

Answer 8

door ecological momentary assessment (what is happening right now??)

Question 9

case study =

Answer 9

A case study is an in-depth study of one person, group, or event. In a case study, nearly every aspect of the subject’s life and history is analyzed to seek patterns and causes of behavior

Question 10

waar worden correlational studies oa voor gebruikt

Answer 10

Epidemiological:
* Prevalence
* Incidence
* Risk factors

Question 11

3 issues in prevalence estimation

Answer 11

is the sample representative?
confidence intervals are rarely given
of who is the sample representative?

Question 12

incentive sentisation theory =

Answer 12

sensitized reaction towards cues lead to attention drawn toward those cues (=attentional bias)

Question 13

Negative affect may work differently then patients say: not predicting relapse, but predicted by relapse?

Answer 13

oke, dus wss:

patients zeggen negative affect -> relapse
onderzoek zegt relapse -> negative affect

Question 14

experimental designs characteristics

Answer 14

• Testing causality
• Internal validity (control group, randomized assignment)
• Relatively low external validity: Analogue studies and Pre-clinical studies

Question 15

lessons from the study with attentional retraining alcohol computer

Answer 15

• Manipulation of AB is possible
• No effects on behavior
  Limitations:
• Only one training session
• Participants not motivated to reduce drinking
  Further research:
• More intensive
• Clinical group who is motivated not to drink
