How to be an Educated Consumer of Research
Researchers create special treatments and
analyze their effects.
Experiments
conditions are highly controlled.
Laboratory experiments
- conducted under realistic conditions
- Individuals assigned by chance to receive different practical treatments or programs.
Randomized field experiments
Study of treatment effect bycontrasting behavior before, during and after application of the treatment.
Single case experiment
the researcher studies variables as they are to see whether they are related.
They may tell us that two variables are related and do not tell us what causes are.
Correlational studies -
Variables can be:
Positively correlated
Negatively correlated
Uncorrelated
- when one variable is high, the other tends also to be high.
Positively correlated
- when one variable is high, the other tends to be low.
Negatively correlated
- no correspondence between variables.
Uncorrelated
