Module 1 Doing Social Psychology blz. 3 t/m 14
Social psychology The scientific study of how people think about, influence, and relate to one another.
Forming and testing theories
Theory An integrated set of principles that explain and predict observed events.
Hypothesis A testable proposition that describes a relationship that might exist between events.
Correlational research: detecting natural associations
Correlational research The study of the naturally occuring relationships among the variables.
De grote kracht van correlatie onderzoek is dat het voorkomt in real-world gebeurtenissen waarin we factoren zoals ras, sex, and sociale status kunnen examineren, die we niet kunnen manipuleren in een lab-experiment. Het grote nadeel is de meerduidigheid van de resultaten.
Wetend dat twee variabelen tegelijk veranderen stelt ons in staat de ander te voorspellen als we de ene weten; maar correlatie specificeert niet oorzaak en gevolg.
Experimental research Studies that seek clues to cause-effect relationships by manipulating one or more factors (independent variables) while controlling others (holding them constant).
Experimental research: searching for cause and effect
Random assignment The process of assigning participants to the conditions of an experiment such that al persons have the same chance of being in a given condition. (Note the distinction between random assignment in experiments and random sampling in surveys. Random assignment helps us infer cause and effect. Random sampling helps us generalize to a population.)
Mundane realism The degree to which an experiment is superficially similar to everyday situations.
Experimental realism The degree to which an experiment absorbs and involves its participants.
Ethische principes samengesteld door universiteiten:
Informed consent An ethical principle requiring that research participants be told enough to enable them to decide
