H4 Flashcards
The four designs most commonly used by applied social psychologist are:
- The real experiment
- Correlational research
- Quasi-experiments
- questionnaires
Person confounds
Individual differences that have an influence
Procedural confounds
When the researcher accidentally varies two or more variables at the same time
Noise
Variables that influence the dependent variables but these variables are equally distributed over the conditions
Gevolgen van noise
Makes it difficult to estimate the true influence of the independent variable
Why are statistical interactions useful?
Ze identificeren randvoorwaarden van een theorie, voorwaarden die aangeven wanneer een theorie wel en niet van toepassing is
Mundane realism
The physical setting of the study is comparable to the real world setting which the phenomenon normally occurs
Psychological realism
This is not about whether an investigation looks realistic, but whether it feels realistic
Reverse causality
The direction of the relationship is actually the other way around
How can we solve confounds?
Covariaten
How can we solve reverse causality?
Longitudinal studies
person-by-treatment quasi-experiment
Variabele gemeten en gemanipuleerd. Zo kan er gekeken worden of mensen verschillend op een behandeling reageren
Cluster sampling
Creating a population list of locations instead of people
Sampling error
De waarschijnlijke discrepantie tussen de resultaten verkregen uit een representatieve steekproef en de resultaten als iedereen in de populatie de vragenlijst had ingevuld
