Handout 1–3 Methods of Research Research‚ systematic inquiry aimed at the discovery of new knowledge‚ is a central ingredient of the scientific method in psychology. It provides the key to understanding the degree to which hypotheses (and the theories behind them) are accurate. Just as we can apply different theories and hypotheses to explain the same phenomena‚ we can use a number of alternative methods to conduct research. In this exercise‚ you will learn more about several methods of research

Using the Iodine clock method to find the order of a reaction Introduction When peroxodisulfate (VI) ions and iodide ions react together in solution they form sulfate (VI) ions and iodide. This reaction is shown below: S2O82-aq+ 2I-aq SO42-aq+ I2(aq) The reactants and the sulfate (VI) ions are colourless however the Iodine is a yellow/brown colour. This allows you to measure the progress of the reaction through the colour change when the iodine is produced. In order to determine the order of

advocated in the 1950s by the noted management theorist Peter Drucker. MBO (management by objectives) methods of performance appraisal are results-oriented seeks to measure employee performance be examining the extent to which predetermined work objectives have been met.

Subject: Chemistry SL Title: Preparation of a salt (lead iodide) by using precipitation method. Aim: To produce 1.50 g of lead iodide‚ PbI2‚ assuming 100 % conversion‚ using 1.00 g solid potassium iodide‚ KI‚ and 0.1 M lead nitrate‚ Pb(NO3)2 solution of volume 30 cm3 and hence calculate percentage yield. Calculations: 2KI(s) + Pb(NO3)2( aq) —> PbI2 (s) + 2KNO3 (aq) Mass of PbI2 to be produced = 1.5 g Moles of PbI2 = = 0.003 Moles of KI = 0.003*2 = 0.006 Mass of KI = 0.006*166 = 1.00 g

EXAMPLE : USING MIXED METHOD: BOTH QUALITATIVE & QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH QuickStop Convenience Stores Background Once upon a time there was a successful line of convenience stores.

This was passed along to the management team and they asked the store tellers to informally keep track of the proportions of men to women who came into their stores.
