- Hypothesis: a tentative statement of the relationship
between variables as answers to research questions.
- Observational method:Effective
method of describing
behaviour by observing a
person.
- a. Selection
- b.Recording
- c.Analysis of data
- Types:
- Naturalistic -Natural
real-life settings
-Greater validity
- Controlled -Conducted in
the laboratory -Lack
validity
- Non-Participant -Observe
at a distance --Aware of it
- Participation --Observer
becomes a plot of the
group -Not aware
- Naturalistic -Natural
real-life settings
-Greater validity
- a. Selection
- Experimental observation: Establish a cause-effect
relationship between two acts of events/variables in a
controlled setting.
- -Cause-event being changed or
manipulated
- -Effect- behaviour that changes
because of the manipulation.
- The concept of variable: any stimulus or event
which varies i.e takes on diff.values and can be
measured as a variable.
- Cause
- Manipulated
- Measured
- Interdependant
variable
- Dependant
variable
- Dependant
variable
- Measured
- Manipulated
- Effect
- -Cause-event being changed or
manipulated
- Experimental and control groups; Group in which the
members of the group are composed to
independant variable manipulation.
- Controlled like organismic variable, situational
or environment al and sequential.
- Experimental
fatigue
- Experimental
fatigue
- Field experiments and
Quasi experiments
- Controlled like organismic variable, situational
or environment al and sequential.
- Correlational research :relationship between 2
variables for prediction purpose
- Positive correlation
- Negative correlation
- Zero correlation-no correlation
- Positive correlation
- Survey research: came into existence
to study opinions,attitudes and social
facts.
- Diff tecniques are: personal
interviews, questionaries,telephonic
surveys, controlled observations

- Quantitative method:responses
and analysisof the data is based on

of scores or in scaled form.
- Qualitative method: data is
interpreted in terms of narrative
analysis in forms like feild
notes,photographs

- Limitations of psychological
enquiry:Lack of true zero point,
Relative nature of psychological
tools, Subjective interpretation of
qualitative data
- Ethical issues:Respect for person's
privacy and choice to participate in
study. Beneficience or protecting the
participants in the study form any
harm. Justice or sharing benefits of the
research with all the participants.
- 1.Voluntary participation 2.Informed
consent 3.Debriefing 4. Sharing the results
of the study 5.Confidentiality of data source
