Study Notes
Research Methods: Theory Data Cycle
-
Research Producer: Individuals who conduct and present their own research, typically found in academia or scientific institutions, such as professors and research scientists.
-
Research Consumer: People who engage with existing research to apply its findings to their professions or personal interests, including therapists and educators.
-
Evidence-Based Treatments: Therapies that are validated and supported by rigorous research findings, ensuring effectiveness and reliability.
-
Empirical Approach: A methodology that emphasizes reliance on sensory experience or data collected through instruments to draw conclusions.
-
Theory Data Cycle: A systematic process in which scientists gather data to evaluate, modify, or enhance existing theories based on their findings.
-
Cupboard Theory: A concept suggesting that a mother is primarily valued by her infant mammal for her provision of food, relating maternal attachment to nourishment.
-
Contact Comfort Theory: Suggests that infants develop attachment to their mothers due to the comforting sensation provided by physical touch, highlighting the importance of emotional nurturing.
-
Theory: Defined as a coherent set of statements outlining how various variables relate to each other, forming a foundational framework for research.
-
Hypothesis: A clear and testable statement predicting a specific outcome based on theoretical premises, guiding the research inquiry.
-
Data: The collected observations and measurements that form the basis for analysis and interpretation in research studies.
-
Falsifiability: A crucial characteristic of a theory, allowing it to be subjected to testing and potential disproof, ensuring scientific rigor.
-
Parsimony: The concept that suggests theories should be as simple as possible, avoiding unnecessary complexity while still adequately explaining phenomena.
-
Applied Research: Research aimed at practical problems in real-world contexts, focusing on developing solutions that can be implemented in everyday situations.
-
Basic Research: Research intended to broaden the collective understanding of fundamental principles and knowledge within a scientific domain.
-
Translational Research: The process of applying findings from basic research to create practical applications in fields like healthcare or psychotherapy, bridging research and practice.
-
Journal: Refers to a scholarly publication featuring articles authored by psychological experts, contributing to academic discourse in the field.
-
Journalism: Coverage of psychological topics presented in articles, typically written by individuals without formal expertise in psychology, aiming to inform the general public.
