70
Q

Said: “Man, the molecule of society, is the subject matter of social sciences.”

A

Henry Charles Carey

71
Q

Employed to underrate a scientific study or investigations

A

Various research approaches

72
Q

A research design - observation of behavior in a more or less natural setting, without any attempt to intervene; not manipulated or controlled; has not been initiated or created

A

Naturalistic observation

73
Q

Advantages of naturalistic observation:

A

Allows observation of behavior exactly as it occurs in the real world; helps establish the external validity of the research findings; ethical considerations may prevent manipulation

74
Q

Threats to observational research:

A

Many fall under the heading of reactivity; the subject’s expectations can change their responses to the demands of the situation.

75
Q

Refers to situations where a subject’s behavior is different when the person knows they are being observed, or that they are being studied

A

Reactivity

76
Q

Intensive studies of individual cases; originated in clinical medicine; uses the person’s own memories, of friends’ or relatives’ or records of various types

A

Case study

77
Q

Strength of case studies

A

You learn a lot about the case studied.

78
Q

Weakness of case studies

Results may not generalize.

79
Q

Advantages of the case study method (Searle 1999)

A

Stimulating new research; contradicting established theory; giving new insight into phenomena or experience; permitting investigation of otherwise inaccessible situations

80
Q

Disadvantages of case studies (Searle 1999)

A

Replication not possible; researcher’s own subjective feelings may influence; memory distortions; not possible to replicate findings

81
Q

A procedure for systematically collecting data on attitudes, preferences, knowledge, or behavior by asking people questions

interview, written questionnaires, phone via the internet

84
Q

Advantages of survey research:

A

Faster data collection; inexpensive data collection; wide range of participants; generalized information
