Across
- 4. Measures taken at one time point. Issues with causality unless you conduct an experiment
- 8. Research that translates theory into applied science. Used to make the whole world better in some tangible way
- 12. Research that increases understanding and theory. Tries to understand a given phenomenon
- 13. only participants are unaware of their condition
- 15. A term used to describe a set of guidelines for conducting qualitative data analysis.
- 16. use of statistics to combine results of several individual studies addressing similar questions into a single pooled measure of an effect size
- 17. study design that tests people in conditions that don't overlap
- 20. assumes that human beings are natural storytellers.This approach is concerned with the desire to seek insight and meaning about health and illness
- 24. Comprise one or more group discussions in which participants ‘focus’ collectively upon a topic or issue usually presented to them as a group of questions, although sometimes as a film, a collection of advertisements, cards to sort, a game to play, or a vignette to discuss.
- 25. phase 2 of the scientific method
- 26. a set of procedures for analysing language as used in speech or texts. It focuses on the language and how it is used to construct versions of ‘social reality’ and what is gained by constructing events using the particular terms being used.
- 28. Can be quantitative or qualitative. Vary in reliability, but there are usually endless options
- 31. Randomised study which prevents bias. Researcher and participant oblivious of the condition they are in
- 32. research that measures how much
- 34. unconscious and deliberate, self-reported by participant (e.g. survey)
- 37. attempt to dissect the underlying reasons for the development of the discipline
- 38. A computer-driven assessment of implicit attitudes. The test uses reaction times to measure people's automatic associations between attitude objects and evaluative words. Easier pairings (and faster responses) are taken to indicate stronger unconscious associations.
- 39. group of interest cannot be manipulated, occurs naturally (pre-existing) or unethical to manipulate
- 40. any differences between pre-existing groups not controlled or accounted for by the researchers
Down
- 1. strength of association between variables
- 2. Rejecting null hypothesis when it is true
- 3. Attempt to find patterns in collected data . A priori hypotheses which guide analyses. Hypothesising after results are known (HARKing)
- 5. allows for: pre-registration, uploading materials, data sharing, other websites launched
- 6. phase 3 of the scientific method
- 7. What is the best method to test theories in research?
- 9. often provide a listing of the growth of the discipline in laudatory terms
- 10. researchers randomly assign participants to one condition, treatment, or group
- 11. phase 4 of the scientific method
- 14. actors who play the role of someone else in the study
- 18. a specific statement made by a researcher about the expected outcome of a study; an educated guess in statement form
- 19. a systematic way of creating knowledge by observing, forming a hypothesis, testing a hypothesis, and interpreting the results
- 21. describes a detailed descriptive account of an individual, group or collective.
- 22. research that measures what, why, when and how
- 23. conscious and deliberate, self-reported by participant
- 27. aims to understand a phenomenon from the viewpoint of the participant
- 29. Measures taken at two or more time points. Better for cause and effect, limitations if not experimental. Confounding or "third" variables
- 30. when modelling social phenomena in controlled lab environment, not always accurate representation of normal contexts
- 33. study design that tests people in both conditions
- 35. Attempt to capture pattern of behaviour. Hard to capture directly due to vagueness
- 36. phase 1 of the scientific method
