Questão 9
Questão
Psychologists most often use a probability of 95%, so there's a 5% chance the results aren't significant.
Questão 10
Questão
Which type of error states that the results aren't significant, when in fact they are?
Questão 11
Questão
Which type of error states that the results are significant, when in fact they're due to chance?
Questão 12
Questão
A one-tailed test is used in conjunction with a directional hypothesis.
Questão 13
Questão
A two-tailed test can only be used with a non-directional hypothesis.
Questão 14
Questão
What is a directional hypothesis?
Responda
-
A hypothesis that states the results will go a certain way, e.g. 'I predict women eat more food than men'
-
A hypothesis that states there will be a difference, but doesn't say in which way, e.g. 'I predict there will be a difference between the amount that women and men eat'
Questão 15
Questão
What is a null hypothesis?
Responda
-
States there will be a difference, but doesn't say which way results will go, e.g. 'I predict there will be a difference in the amount women and men eat'
-
States the results will be due to chance, e.g. 'There will be no significant difference in the amount men and women eat'
Questão 16
Questão
Give two strengths of lab experiments.
Responda
-
Greatest control over independent variable
-
Higher ecological validity
-
Few demand characteristics
-
Control over ethics
Questão 17
Questão
Give two weaknesses of natural experiments.
Questão 18
Questão
Give one strength and one weakness of field experiments.
Responda
-
Higher ecological validity than lab studies
-
Full control over independent variables
-
Less control over extraneous variables
-
High risk of demand characteristics
Questão 19
Questão
Demand characteristics are where the participants become aware (either consciously or subconsciously) of the aims of the study, and alter their behaviour as such.
Questão 20
Questão
What are investigator effects?
Responda
-
Anything the investigator does which has an effect on the behaviour of participants
-
Where the participants become aware of the aims of the study and alter their behaviour as such
-
Features of a research situation that alter the behaviour of participants, such as the time of day, temperature, noise levels etc.
Questão 21
Questão
What is the difference between participant effects and participant variables?
Responda
-
Participant effects is a general term to acknowledge the fact that p's behaviour can be influenced by being in a study; participant variables are characteristics of individual p's that can influence the outcome of a study
-
Participant effects are characteristics of individual p's that can influence the outcome of a study; participant variables is a general term to acknowledge the fact that p's behaviour can be influenced by being in a study
Questão 22
Questão
Single blind tests are where the participants don't know the aims of the study.
Questão 23
Questão
