Q

what is a hypothesis?

A
  • prediction of an investigation - involes independant & dependant variable
  • need to be directional or nondirectional
  • operationalise

Q

content analysis

A
  • a method which transforms qualitive data into quantative data
  • aim is to summarise the detailed data into catagories so be anaylised and conclusions can be drawn
  • content - infomation in a media form that can be re watched
  • tally everytime you see the groups
96
Q

how to do content analysis

A
  • first the content is re watched
  • the qualative data is then broken down into catagories (coding)
  • researcher then re watches the content and sees how often the concept comes up
  • then uses this data to make a conculusion
97
Q

thematic analysis

A
  • keeps data qualative
  • first content is watched
  • the qualative data is not changed into catagories but researcher looks for recuring themes
  • themes are made into broader catagories (sterotyping)
  • researcher then will test the validity of the themes by collecting new data and see if it fits in
98
Q

evaluations of content and thematic analysis

A
  • .+ no practical and ethical issues since already in public domain
  • .- the catagories are very subjective and people may tally things that other dont see as that
  • .+ makes easier to draw conclusions
  • .+ we can change the data to what we think is the best for the situation
99
Q

inter rater reliability

A
  • level of agreement between different rater
  • strong = good agreement
  • weak = bad agreement
  • increase it; comes up with catagores seperatly , compare and agree with catagories , clearly define everthing
  • checking it; conduct seperatly, compare tallies and make sure reliable , statistical test
100
Q

peer review

A
  • a process by which the research is scrutinszed by those who are experts in the same feild, this is done before being publishes and is considered in terms of validity, orginality and significance
101
Q

what does peer review prevent ?

A
  • prevents scientific fraud
  • stops people from stealing work
  • stops bad research
102
Q

scientific fraud

A
  • an act of deception or misreprensation in scientific work
  • made up of fabrication, falsifications and plagiarism
  • fabrication - intentional misreprensation of research results in making up data
  • falsification - is changing or omitting data or results. it means the research is not accurate
  • plagiarism - presenting someones work or ideas as your own
103
Q

process of peer revies

A
  1. researcher finishes and sends mauscript to editor
  2. editor then sends manuscript to expert psychologists in the same feild
  3. peer reviwers then look for validity, creditbility and orginality
  4. peer reviwers then send it back to editor with recomendations
  5. then they accpet and publish or reject or if some scientifc standars are made it well be sent back to researcher to make improvements
104
Q

strenghts of peer review

A
  • promotes high standard - helps reputaions of psychology
  • gets rid of scientific fraud - people know their work will be scrutified
  • promotes scientifc process
  • accurate knowledge - worthwile as shouldnt be false

Q

weaknesses of peer review

A
  • publications bias - if the reviwer doesnt want it out for some reason (like controdicts their work) they could influence wether its published or not
  • the file drawer effect - refers to the practice of researchers filing away or not publishing studies which find nothing of statistical significance
  • ground breaking research gets buried - challenging research
  • done anyomously - could savatage bc want funding
106
Q

h1

A

experimental hypothesis

107
Q

h0

A

null hypothesis

108
Q

descriptive statistics

A
  • any statistics which describe data simply, include measers of central tendancy and measure of dispersion
109
Q

inferential tests

A
  • mathimatical tests which allow pschologists to accepy or reject their hypothesis
110
Q

significance

A
  • if not strong have to accpet it happened by chance
  • p value greater than 0.8
  • 0.05 means a fluke and happened by chance
111
Q

type 1 error

A
  • where the null hypothesis is rejected and the alternative one is accepted
  • researcher claims to have found a significant effect when there isnt one
112
Q

type 2 error

A
  • where the null is accpeted and the alternative is rejected
  • researcher claims there ws no significance where there was actually one
113
Q

process of testing

A
  1. data studied using decriptive statistics
  2. choose which statistical/inferential test to use
  3. statistical/inferential test done on the data
  4. calculated value obtained
  5. calculated value compared to critical value
  6. is it significant
114
Q

choosing statistical/inferential test

A
  1. is it association or difference - correlation/related = assocation , comparing/differnce=differnce
  2. design - matched pairs and repeated mesure = related test , indpeant groups = unrealted
  3. level of data
    * nominal - catagory/frequency data - lowest level of data - bar chart
    * ordinal - order/rank/scale/score - doesnt have eqaul intervals
    * interval - unit of measuremnt - standardised -line/histogram

Q

how to decide significance frim crictical value tables

A
  1. was the hypothesis direction or non directions
  2. the number of particapants (n value)
  3. level of significance (p value) (0,05)
117
Q

how to write significance question

A
  1. significant or not
  2. because the calc vaule it …. less/more than the critical value of …..
  3. critical value is …. becuase the p vaule is …. and its one or two taled then the n value is …..
  4. accept or reject whicherve hypothesis
118
Q

sign test

A
  • plus or minus two variables
  • remove any particapnts who have no difference
  • lowest value of minus or plus is the calc value
  • compare calce value to critical value - using table
  • if not less than or more than or equal to then reject alt and accpet null
