Reserach Methods Flashcards
What type of experiment is a True Lab?
Cognitive
What are the characteristics of a True Lab?
extraneous variables are controlled,
controlled environment,
IV is isolated
What are the Limitations of a True Lab?
random allocation,
chance of being assigned to same group,
unnatural behavior that doesnt reflect real life
What are the strengths of a True Lab?
easier to replicate a lab experiment,
control of EV
How are True Labs used?
manipulated the IV so it affects the Dv,
Ev are controlled, (ex: cognition can be the IV)
What type of experiment is Field?
social
What are the characteristics of a Field?
manipulaition of an IV + measure effect of a DV,
naturalistic setting
What are the limitations of a Field?
ethical concerns,
low control for EVS,
difficult to replicate and accurately collect data
What are the strengths of a Field?
egological validity,
reflects real life
How is a Field used?
done in everyday life environment,
manipulates the IV to show change in the DV
Why is a field used?
to produce findings that are more realistic
What type of experiment is a Quasi?
cause and effect
What are the characteristics of a Quasi?
study of an IV on a DV to establish casuality,
doesn’t include randomization
What are the limitations of a Quasi?
not all EVs can be controlled, researcher has 0 control,
analysis can be complicated
What are the strengths of a Quasi?
higher external validity, highercontroledover targeted hypotheses
