Outline the main features of experimental social psychology and consider the influences that led to its emergence. What do you think are its strengths and weaknesses? Psychology was originally a branch of Philosopy‚ according to Hollway (2007). As more emphasis was placed on following scientific methods and principles‚ psychologists began using laboratory experiments to carry out research into individual behaviours. Experiments were considered to be more objective when considering individuals

Quasi-Experimental Designs and External Validity In research the goal is to design a study that is generalizable to other populations‚ settings‚ and times‚ however this is not an easy task (Campbell & Stanley‚ 1963). Researchers try to create studies that have strong external validity‚ while attempting to avoid possible threats. External validity determines the extent to which the data collected in one study can be generalized to other populations‚ setting‚ treatments variables‚ and measurement

the process. Qualitative methods are employed in exploratory research while survey methods are typically used in descriptive research. Experimental research is applied to explanatory research (Shi‚ 2013). The design links the research methodology and research methods to allow for logical and valid inferences to be made. Without a good research design‚ there can be serious errors and significant omissions in the research study (Shi‚ 2013). Choosing the most appropriate method of research for the study

Survey Methods ________________________________________ The survey is a non-experimental‚ descriptive research method. Surveys can be useful when a researcher wants to collect data on phenomena that cannot be directly observed (such as opinions on library services). Surveys are used extensively in library and information science to assess attitudes and characteristics of a wide range of subjects‚ from the quality of user-system interfaces to library user reading habits. In a survey‚ researchers sample

Lab 3: Experimental Design & Hypothesis Testing 1. Some observations found about termites are that they live in moist‚ dark environments‚ they are sterile and lack eyes‚ and their primary task is to collect food. From this information the hypothesis that due to their lack of eyes‚ they use feeling of their skin to find what they are searching for and a pencil line would give a feeling of wood that would attract the termites. By making a course that split into two paths of a pen line and pencil line

Est. Time: 01 - 05 2. Real cash flow = 100‚000/1.04 = $96‚154. The real discount rate is calculated as 1 + nominal rate / 1+ inflation rate − 1. Therefore‚ 1.08/1.04 − 1 = .03846. PV = [pic] Est

Quasi-Experimental Research vs. True Experiments Unit 9 November 18‚ 2012 Introduction I will compare and contrast quasi-experimental research and true experiments by addressing their weaknesses and strengths. Throughout my project I will give a detailed description of my experimental method used‚ as well as a thorough justification of why I selected this method as well as my sampling plan. I will also identify the target population

Express Right Trial by jury: s 80 Section 80 of the Constitution appears to guarantee a right to trial by jury for offences arising under Commonwealth laws. Section 80 applies if there is a trial on indictment‚ but leaves it to the Parliament to determine whether any particular offence shall be tried on indictment or summarily: Kingswell v The Queen (1985) • Does not apply to summary offence: R v Archdall & Roskruge; Ex parte Carrigan and Brown (1928) Consequence of the s 80 • Defendant can’t elect
