Double Blind

Both people giving and getting test don't know what procedure they are getting.

Internal Validity

accuracy in concluding that the outcome of an experiment is due to the independent variable

Confounding Variable

When variables compete to explain the affects found in a study

Random Assignment

Qualitative Research

explores processes that underlie human behavior

Inductive

Specific data -> general theory

deductive

General theory -> specific data

Qualitative Research Characteristics

1. Depth Rather than breadth
2. Learn about "how and why" people behave etc.
3. Often Exploratory
4. Often inductive
5. Continual shaping and reshaping of the
data
6. Data is in the form of words, images
7. May be a follow-up of previous research
where a quantitative researcher has reached
an impasse in explaining or understanding.

Credibility

demonstrates that the inquiry was conducted in such a manner to ensure that the participants were accurately identified and described.

Confirmability (objectivity)

can the findings of the study be confirmed by someone else?

Trustworthiness of Qualitative Data

1. Persistent Observation
2. Prolonged Engagement - data gathering
3. Thick, Rich, In-depth Description
4. Triangulation of methods, sources, investigators
5. Negative Case Analysis
6. Audit Trail
7. Conceptual Saturation
8. Member Checks
9. Peer Debriefing
10. Explicit Documentation of data collection methods, analysis, and field decisions that altered any strategies or focus

Audit Trail

theoretical memos including detailed descriptions of how you got from the data to the conclusions.

Conceptual Saturation

collect data until no new categories are generated.

Negative Case Analysis

search for and explain phenomena that do not fit. Revise hypotheses until they account for all known cases.

Persistant Observation

recurring observation of participants

Member Checks

present analysis of the data to informants for their confirmation or revision

Peer Debriefing

present analyses and conceptual abstractions of the data to other qualitative researchers (to explore inquirer bias and clarify meanings and the basis of interpretation)

Content Analysis

Used to identify content (messages, themes) in various types of materials.
Identify the research question.
Identify the unit of analysis.

Data analysis includes:

- Open coding
- Axial coding
- Selective coding

Open Coding

The initial "pass" through the data.

Locate initial themes and name (code) them.

Creates many new themes.

Axial Coding

Refining your categories

Selective Coding

Representing the whole - look selectively for cases that illustrate each theme. Identify best quotations. Identify how themes best fit together. (ex. Pick a favorite from your ten groups. he has a great quote that I am going to use )
*It's always non-probability because you have a broad question.

The research question is:
"What important themes do young adults identify from the April 2011 General Conference addresses?

Open coding - identify the major themes for each participant. Some participants may have more than one theme coded (double coding).
Talk with several others in the class to identify if you have the same themes (triangulation of investigators)
List the major themes you have come up with

Axial coding - look at your major themes - are there any themes that could be collapsed into a broader category? Any sub-categories?

Selective coding - what quote best represents each of your themes?

Purposes of Critical Research: To change the world through...

a) Empowerment - especially for less powerful groups (ie. women, racial minorities, people with disabilities, etc).

b) Enlightenment - uncovering myths; exposing false ideologies.

c) Emancipation - freeing people from false ideologies. Helping people change the world for themselves

Interpretation of results, Implications & Limitations

Reliability

how stable or consistent the measure is

Validity

it is measuring what you say it is

Inter-rater (reliability)

Consistency of results when the same test is given by different researchers. uses Cohen's Cappa

Correlation coefficient (reliability)

index of strength between 2 variables. Difference between test A and B.

Inter-item consistency (reliability)

Asks the same question 500 times. Kronbachs Alpha. How unified the items are in a test.

Test-re-test (reliability)

How stable a test is over time.

Face Validity

face to face, on the same level as fellow researchers

Content Validity

Breadth of items in the measure

Criterion Validity

how does the measure relate to already known standards

Concurrent Validity

how well a test measures present performance

Predictive Validity

how well it predicts future performance (correlation coefficient)

Construct Validity

operational definition accurately assesses theoretical concepts or results of the test are related to an underlying psychological construct.

Discriminative Validity

are you different enough - *correlation about .2 or less

Convergent Validity

Similar enough - *correlation about .8 or more

General source

News or news paper, or a novel

Non -Probability Sampling

Purposive
Snowball
Quota
Convenience

Purposive

choose participants based upon aims and purposes of the study

Snowball

participants nominate participants

Quota

get a certain number *used for representing the important subgroups in a population.

Convenience

All are convenience, but specifically a "convenience sample" makes no attempt to randomize population. You can tell it apart from the other non-probability samples because it lacks the criteria, snowballing, and subgroups of the other types.

Probability Sampling

SRS (Simple Random Sample)
Cluster
Multi-stage Cluster
Systematic
Stratified

SRS (Simple Random Sample)

generalizable, but takes time & a large sample

Cluster

list of clusters, random sample (ex: classroom) Sampling a cluster means they are all together in some form, like a club or quorum.

Multi-Stage Cluster

several levels of clusters, then sub-sampled

Systematic

every Kth element of list is selected

Stratified

population divided into strata and random selection made (ex: male & female strata, or gender strata)

Different types of measurements - NORI

Nominal (categorical)
Ordinal (scale from 1-10)
Ratio *0/zero matters (ex:How many times did you brush your teeth today?...0 is a possible answer and an issue)
Interval (ex: waist size or temperature) *No meaning to zero/zero is arbitrary

Researcher

is an important part of the qualitative process - he/she is the primary source.

Ethics

1. Tuskegee Syphilis Study (1930-1972)
2. Belmont report (1974)

Tuskegee Syphilis Study (1930-1972)

Effects on black people vs. white people...When the real antidote for syphilis came out in 1950's, it was denied being given to the blacks...People went blind and many died.

Belmont Report (1974)

Beneficence - No harm!
Justice - make sure no group is "picked on" or benefited in particular
Respect for person
*(IRB came later)

Threats to internal validity

the accuracy in concluding that the outcome of an experiment is due to the independent variable.

External Validity

the extent to which results of an experiment can be Generalized.

Experimental designs - Pros

+ Explores the CAUSAL relationship between variables
+ Random assignment for independent variable
+ Variables not being examined may be held constant (using control group)

Experimental designs - Cons

- Experimenter may give subtle cues to participants on how to respond...Expectancy is an issue, but solvable with precautions of standardized procedure & double blind procedure.

limitations of Correlational data.

No proof of causation, only correlation (makes sense with the name).

central tendency

Mean
Median
Mode

Mean

"average" score...Interval & ratio data. Best for continuous data. If skewed, mode or median will be more accurate.

Median

arranged scores lowest to highest & the median is in the middle. Best for rank order/ordinal data or unevenly distributed continuous data (possibly ratio or interval)

Mode

the score that appears most often. Best for categorical data. *Can be 2 or more.

Post Hoc

Doing research on something that couldn't be ethically tested.

Qualitative Research

research that examines phenomena within the cultural and social context in which it takes place

IRB Process

At least 5 members
A person employed
by the institution
A person NOT employed
by the institution
A scientist
A non scientist
One other

Quantitative Research

The use of sampling techniques (such as consumer surveys) whose findings may be expressed numerically, and are amenable to mathematical manipulation enabling the researcher to estimate future events or quantities.

psychology

Ernest, a psychology major, is discussing hypnosis with his roommate, Phil. Phil says: “I can’t believe so many people fall for that hypnosis stuff. Hypnosis is just like dreaming. It’s just a different state of consciousness, and a dream can affect someone just like a supposed hypnotic state can.” Explain how Ernest might use the following terms as he discusses the validity of Phil’s claims. Posthypnotic suggestion. Divided-consciousness theory. Social influence theory. Dissociation.

What is a double

Double-Blind Study. -study in which the neither the experimenter nor the subjects know if the subjects are in the experimental or control group.

What is a double

(DUH-bul-blind STUH-dee) A type of clinical trial in which neither the participants nor the researcher knows which treatment or intervention participants are receiving until the clinical trial is over. This makes results of the study less likely to be biased.

Is a double

Answer and Explanation: No, double-blind experiments do not increase the placebo effect. On the contrary, the double-blind procedure is conducted to minimize, decrease, and eliminate the influence of the placebo effect.

What is a double

A double blind placebo-controlled experiment is. research in which neither the subjects nor the scientists know which group received the treatment and which group received a placebo.
