Research Methods 1 Types Experiments Flashcards
Lab goods and bads
Good :
.Control over extraneous variables =cause and effect
.repeatable /same results.cus high control,use standardised procedures
.bad :
Have Demand characteristics so likely confound results.(ppl fake behaviour)
.low ecological validity
Feild goods and bads
Good
.high ecological validity-but can’t control environment setting
.low demand characteristics
Bad
.low control over extraneous
.difficult to replicate
.unethical-no consent
Natural goods and bads
Good
.high ecogical validity
.low demand characteristics
.ethical method for socially sensitive research-possible to study variable that are unable in a lab
Bad
.low control over extraneous variables
.difficult to repeat
Quasi goods and bads
Goods
.control over extraneous
.repeatable
Bad
.less extraneous control then lab-dosnt manipulate IV
.could reduce ecological validity depending on task
Lab meaning
Controlled environment so high control over IV ,extraneous
Feild meaning
Real world setting,manipulates IV deliberately. Participants usually passers by.
Natural meaning
IV ,DV nature occurring.researcher measures DV.
Quasi meaning
Researcher manipulates task.that participants required to complete.aim is to see if the diff conditions in the study IV causes differences in performance on the task DV.pre determined by pre existing characteristic out of researchers control.eg.task chosen by researcher but groups already exist like male and female.
