Psych final review methods and social psych

This research method is a descriptive technique in which one individual or group is studied in depth in the hope of revealing universal principles

• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments

This research method is a technique for ascertaining the self – reported attitudes or behaviors of a particular group, usually by questioning a representative, random sample of the group.

• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study

This is a method of research where the researcher carefully and systematically observes and records behavior without interfering

• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey

This research method is a measure of the extent to which two variables change together, and thus of how well either variable predicts the other

• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational

This is a method of research where an investigator manipulates one or more factors (independent variables) to observe the effect on some behavior or mental process (the dependent variable).

• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational

The advantage of this descriptive method of research is that it yields a great deal of detailed descriptive information and they are very useful in forming a hypothesis

• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments

The advantage of this descriptive method of research is that it creates an immense amount of data to be gathered quickly and inexpensively.

• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study

The advantage of this method of research is that the behavior observed in the subject(s) natural environment to be more natural, spontaneous, and varied than that observed in a laboratory.

• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey

The advantage of this method of research is that it can help to clarify relationships between variable that cannot be explained by other research methods, in other words- predictions.

• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational

The advantage of this descriptive method of research is that the strict control of variables offers researchers the opportunity to draw conclusions about cause and effect relationships.
