Questions and Answers

What ethical issue was raised concerning participant consent in Andrade's study?

  • Participants were not allowed to leave the study at any point.
  • Participants were only allowed to doodle in specific shapes.
  • Participants were informed of the true purpose of the study.

    Study Notes

    Andrade's Study on Doodling

    • Andrade's study investigated whether doodling improves concentration during a boring task.
    • Participants were deceived about the study's true purpose, which may have affected their performance.
    • Participants listened to a pre-recorded message and were asked to recall names and places.
      • Half recalled names first, then places, and the other half did the opposite.
    • This counterbalancing of the order minimized order effects.
    • The highly standardized procedure made the study easily replicable.
    • All participants listened to the same message, in the same room, and had a one-minute interval between monitoring and recall.
    • Doodling was operationally defined.
    • Using "lures" (names of non-participants) improved the validity of the results by ensuring participants actually paid attention to the message.

    Ethical Considerations

    • Deception was used in the study.
    • Participants were not fully informed about the study's true purpose which may affect the validity of the results.

    Methodological Issues - Reliability

    • Standardised procedure made the study easily replicable.
    • Consistent room, message, and time intervals between tasks increased reliability.

    Methodological Issues - Validity

    • Experimental method and design: Counterbalancing the order of recalling names and places improved the validity of the findings.

    • Confounding variables: The operational definition of doodling was standardizing it to 1 cm shapes, which might not represent real-world doodling, affecting the external validity.

    • Use of lures: Names not present in the message served as a control and made the study more valid by ensuring participants listened to the messages and didn't just jot down names.

    Methodological Issues – Generalizations and Ecological Validity

    • The study had a high proportion of female participants, potentially limiting the generalizability of the findings to male counterparts.
    • The highly controlled laboratory setting could make the results less ecologically valid, as it may not accurately reflect daily situations.

    Issues and Debates - Individual/Situational Explanations:

    • The study suggests that situational factors, such as environmental contexts and distractions, may affect concentration.
    • Individual differences in how doodling can affect various cognitive tasks were not sufficiently analyzed.

    Applications to Everyday Life

    • The study's findings can inform teachers on how to best support students during lessons..
    • Results suggest that allowing students to doodle can enhance their concentration.

    Reflections

    • The study had some limitations like a small sample size and limited analysis of individual differences in cognitive styles.
    • The study indicated that memory and concentration might be improved by allowing doodling.
