    Study Notes

    Key Concepts in Research Methodology

    • Sampling bias occurs when the sample selected for research does not accurately represent the population, leading to skewed results and conclusions.

    • Participant variables are individual characteristics of research subjects that can influence the outcome of a study, such as age, gender, personality traits, and socioeconomic status.

    • Informed consent is a process ensuring that participants understand the nature, risks, and benefits of the study before agreeing to take part, safeguarding their autonomy and rights.

    • Debriefing is provided after a study concludes, informing participants about the study's purpose and outcomes, and addressing any potential misconceptions or emotional distress caused by participation.

    • Data anonymization is the process of removing personal identifying information from data sets to protect participant privacy and confidentiality.

    Types of Research

    • Retrospective research involves examining past events or historical data to understand trends or causal relationships.

    • An inverse correlation describes the relationship where one variable increases while another decreases, highlighting a negative correlation.

    • The ethical principle of non-maleficence serves as a safeguard against harm to research participants, ensuring their well-being throughout the research process.

    • The de-identification of data refers to the removal of identifying information, making it difficult to link data back to its source while allowing for beneficial analysis.

    • Longitudinal research designs involve following participants over time to observe changes, effects, or development of variables in relation to time.
