Study Notes
Research Methods Glossary Summary
- Glossary of key terms and concepts for Research Methods in A-Level Psychology.
- Includes definitions for terms such as bar chart, case study, closed questions, and co-variables.
- Ethical guidelines must be followed in psychological research, including protecting participants and obtaining informed consent.
- Observational studies can be conducted in controlled environments (controlled observation) or natural settings (naturalistic observation).
- Experimental designs involve manipulating the independent variable (IV) and measuring the dependent variable (DV).
- Different types of experimental designs include independent groups, matched pairs, and repeated measures.
- Data can be analyzed using descriptive statistics (e.g. measures of central tendency) or inferential statistics (e.g. significance testing).
- Reliability and validity are important considerations in research, and can be assessed using techniques such as inter-observer reliability and face validity.
- Other important concepts include counterbalancing, order effects, and demand characteristics.
- Different sampling techniques can be used to select participants, such as random sampling, opportunity sampling, and volunteer sampling.
- Different types of data include nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio level data.
- Researchers must also consider issues such as confidentiality, debriefing, and deception in their studies.
