Define interview.
-SELF REPORT method of asking questions
-face to face, over phone
-structured/unstructured
-gain qualitative data
OVERALL Strenght and weakness of interviews. LINK with IV
W-investigator effects
S- can ask for clarification
Define structured interview.(4)
-all ppts get the same questions in a pre set list
-same questions in the same order
-no deviation from topic
-and cannot ask any extra questions
Strenght and weakness of interviews. (4) compare with unstructured.
LINK WITH IV
S- All ppts get the same questions
-so it is easier to compare answers, -identify patterns and make conclusions about behaviour(aggres)
UNLIKE UNSTRUCTURED , no comparisons
W- the researcher cannot deviate from pre set q’s , cannot develop new questions from ppt answers
-not full understanding of behaviour.
UNLIKE unstructured , can develop own questions based on ppts answers, more detail.
Define unstructured interview.(3)
-contains a topic area for discussion but no set q’s
-ppts gets diff questions
-deviate and develop q’s from ppts answers
-open questions
DESIGN AN INTERVIEW/QUESTIONNAIRE. (6)
TOIRTP
-TYPE OF INTERVIEW
-O/C questions
-design to reduce INVESTIGATOR EFFECTS, gender, standardised instructions,tone
-recorded interview through video
-two interviewers
-pilot study
correlation vs experiment
no manipulation of variables, no cause and effect established between IV and DV
Define correlation coefficient.(2)
1.result from a correlation stats test telling strenght and direction of a correlation
2. ranges from -1 to 1 and closer to 0 weaker the correlation
STRENGHT and WEAK OF CORRELATIONS
-s no manipulation of variables, can be used to study sensitive topics that raise ethical issues
-as addiction
-inapprop to mnaipulate variables
WEAKNESS-cause and effect -no iv and dv no manipulation- extraneous variables affect DV
Define thematic analysis.(2)
1.analysing qual data by identify themes present in qual format
2.interviews, dairies, news
How is a thematic analysis carried out.(5)
1.watch transcript or read diaries
2.re read trancripts
3.identify coding categ, crop repeatedly
4. combined the coding categ identidy 3-4 themes
5.present in qualitative format
S/W of thematic analysis
-increased reliability, other researchers use findings and conclusions , other researchers can access the class materials and check for consistency
-Weakness:researches bias, select findings from CA that support their hypothesis then contradict
random allocation.
-reduces individual diff
-no rearcher bias
-order conditions are random
population vs sample
- group of ppl that are focus of research
2.sample is taken from target pop representative to the TP
Define and how to deal with deception .2
- not told true aims , no demand characteristics
2.debrief and their behaviour is normal
