Study Notes
Changes in Focus
- Research has shifted, exploring areas like instinct, attitude, consistency, attributions, social cognition, automatic processing, neuro, culture, and best research practices.
Changes in Issues
- Research focuses on prejudice, aggression, riots, crime, multiculturalism, morality, and religion.
Changes in Participants
- Research participants have changed, moving from mainly male to a more balanced representation of women.
- Researchers are now studying a wider range of participants, including college students and online platforms like MTurk.
Changes in Analysis
- Univariate Analysis: This is the simplest model, analyzing the relationship between two variables.
- Multivariate Analysis: This model examines multiple variables, but has limitations in the number of variables it can analyze simultaneously.
- Mediation Models: These delve deeper into the underlying reasons for observed relationships. For instance, why women experience higher rates of depression than men.
Changes in Research Methods
- There's a growing awareness of questionable research methods.
