Practical Flashcards
A
Inv diff in learned helping behaviour of young and old ppl
1t hypo= sig more helpful behaviour shown in public comp to young
P
Opp sample of 19ppl 140 OBS on public transport during morning and afternoon commute over 10min period to note
Helpful categories eg offering seat and unhelpful eg block
spare seat and qualitative by recording ppt behaviour phone
naturalist,non ppt, covert
F
Older people are more helpful than younger people
Thematic an suggests lack of awarenesses about surroundings has caused unhelpful behaviour and empathy amongst older people but not statistically diff so accept null hypo
C
Overall quant and qualitative data shown a sig diff betw old and young being helpful
S
I high reliability quant
J behaviour categories can be used to replicate study future
E findings gen to wider pop
W
I 1obs si bias
J easy for researcher to unconsciously categorise behaviour that suits exp hypo eg exaggerated older ppl being helpful
E Results less rep due bias and red intv
Wc
I high eco v
J naturalistic so behaviour likely to be natural
E rep results
Impvt reliability
2obs
+ spearmen prev subj bias in behaviours and findings reliable
Impvt sampling
Stratified ensure diverse range of people so findings rep wide range of pop instead of biasness towards locals
