Q

What are two strengths of Longitudinal Studies?

A

You can gather lots of data

You can gain a lot of trust with ppts

18
Q

What are two strengths of cross-sectional studies?

A

They are cheap

You can analyse multiple variables

19
Q

What are two strengths of self-report techniques?

A

They allow specific ppt experiences to be recorded

More valid as ppts directely recorded information (e.g They dont rely on observation)

20
Q

What are two strengths of online research?

A

It allows us access to a massive sample

It is cost effective as we only need an internet box and a computer

21
Q

What are two strengths of random sampling?

A

it is unbiased as ppts are selected at random

cost effective as ppts are simply selected randomly

22
Q

What are two strengths of systematic sampling?

A

it is unbiased as ppts are selected at systematically

takes into account the entire target population

23
Q

What are two strengths of opportunity sampling?

A

it is the easiest method of sample gathering

it is also the least time consuming

24
Q

What is a strength of stratified sampling?

A

The sample is more likely to be representative due to proportional representation of subgroups

25
Q

What is a strength of Quota sampling?

A

It leads to a representative sample

26
Q

What are two strengths of Self-selected sampling?

A

it give us access to a wide range of ppts

it is unbiased as we don’t select the ppts

27
Q

What are two strengths of Snowball sampling?

A

it allows us access to ppts from hard to access areas of society

it is easy for the researcher as , after the initial selection , the sample collects itself

28
Q

What are two strengths of Independent groups?

A

Order effects don’t take place

increases external validity as ppts only partake in one condition

29
Q

What are two strengths of repeated measures?

A

it accounts for ppt variables due to them taking part in both conditions

less likelihood of outliers as ppts take place in both conditions

30
Q

What are two strengths of Matched pairs?

A

Matched compares order effects as ppts only partake in one condition

It narrows down ppt characteristic’s as ppts who display them partake in both conditions

31
Q

patterns are very easy to see

Q

What are two strengths of histogram?

A

they can be used with a large range of data

you can easily observe the flow of data

36
Q

What are two strengths of the mean?

gives us an average

very easy to calculate

37
Q

What are two strengths of the mode?

A

it is not effected by outliers

very easy to identify

38
Q

What are two strengths of a median?

A

Easy to calculate

its not effected by outliers

39
Q

What are two strengths of standard deviation?

A

it uses every single set of data

it shows spread of data

40
Q

What are two strengths of range?

A

easy to calculate

simple to understand
