Q

correlational study

A

look for relationship
no causation or manipulation
continuous variables
correlation coefficient (0.2 - relation)
can only assume covariance, no temporal precedence or internal validity

Q

experimental study

A

way to assess independent variable effect on dependent
random assignment allows internal validity
IV always categorical
p value - how likely the results were chance

16
Q

external validity

A

generalization ability

17
Q

basic research

A

generating theory without application

in lab

18
Q

applied research

A

applying theory to solve a problem

19
Q

social psych hurdles

A

hindsight bias/no shit phenomenon - we avoid obvious q’s or resist them
fundamental attribution error - resist power of the situation (we want to feel good and accurate)
lack of replication, harking
data fabrication and lying
lack of representation - external validity

20
Q

just world beliefs

A

we like to think of the world as a just place

top: got there bc they worked hard, not situation
bottom: if no just world belief, then effort useless

21
Q

social dominance rules

A

social hierarcy

22
Q

automatic processing

A

fast, unconscious impressions
organized around schemas that develop over time
affected by accessibility (salience) and priming
basis of a lot of bias
self fulfilling prophecy

23
Q

judgemental heuristics

A

shortcuts to make quick judgements
availability
representativeness - similarity to typical case
base rate info - info about freq of members in categories of pop

24
Q

controlled processing

A

higher lvl processing of social world
time to think
implicit biases less predictive, IAT test don’t predict
affected by framing, dilution/fatigue, inaccurate self prediction, initial impressions (halo/horn, belief perseverance, false consensus), fundamental attrib error

25
Q

decoy effect

A

controlled processing framing

other options make another option attractive

26
Q

dilution effect

A

controlled processing

extra information dilutes relevant information

27
Q

overload effects

A

controlled processing

we remember primacy and recency with lots of information

28
Q

initial impressions long lasting

A

controlled processing
belief perseverances = initial impressions persist (accuracy)
halo effect
false consensus = overestimate # people who agree w us (feel good)

29
Q

fundamental attribution error

A

controlled processing
egocentric thought = celebrate our successes
self serving bias = justify other’s successes

30
Q

kelley’s covariation

A

internal vs external attribution
consensus = how do others behave to stimulus
distinctiveness = how actor responds to others
consistency = is behavior between actor and stimulus consistent
