PSY 3213: EXAM #1 Questions with 100% Verified
Answers
good research producer
- develop research method skills to work in in research laboratories & discover new knowledge
- responsible for conducting research by assigning groups
- how to interpret results, how to measure attitudes correctly
good research consumer
- you are more responsible for being curious with research by being able to understand it, learn
from it, and ask appropriate questions about it
- Find, read, and evaluate the research behind important policies, therapies, and workplace
decisions
example of facilitated communication demonstrate that both consumers and producers of
research are prone to making mistakes
- One behavior that led some researchers to doubt facilitated communication was that clients
were observed to type with one finger while looking away from the keyboard
- Such observations meant that the facilitators, not the clients, were probably creating the
typed words
- Current FC users claim to ensure that clients are always looking at the keys
- Sometimes we can so desperately want results to be significant, that we ignore solid
methodology
the 4 scientific cycles
-theory data cycle
-basic applied research cycle
-peer review cycle
-journal to journalism cycle
theory data cycle
, - Scientists collect data to test, change, or update their theories
- Theory leads researchers to pose particular
- Research questions, which leads to an appropriate...
- Research design. In the context of the design, researchers formulate...
- Hypotheses. Researchers then collect and analyze...
- Data, which feed back into the cycle
- Example: Harry Harlow used the theory-data cycle to examine the contact comfort theory vs.
the cupboard theory of attachment
1. Harlow used the 2 theories to make 2 specific predictions about how monkeys would interact
with each mother
2. Then he used the data he recorded to support only one of the theories
basic applied research cycle
- using knowledge from basic research to develop and test applications to health care,
psychotherapy, or any other intervention is called Translational Research
- Applied research: Practical problem; goal is that finding will be directly applied to that
problem
- Basic Research: To enhance the general body of knowledge
peer review cycle
- scientific articles are peer-reviewed journals, peer reviewed are kept anonymous and are
highly scrutinized by other scientists, and manuscripts can be rejected, accepted, or accepted
with minor or major revisions.
- Ultimately peer reviewers are the gate keepers for quality science
journal-to-journal cycle
- Scientists read science journals, often non-scientists write (and read) about the findings in the
"popular press", pros and cons, the consumer needs to access importance and accuracy! Ex.
The - Mozart effect
How is a theory different from a hypothesis?
