L3 experimental research
- 1. Participants must be given the right to withdraw at any time, Participants must be fully informed after the study – of what it was about and where their findings fit. Participants must agree to take part and having their data used, knowing as mush as possible about the study (they consent, and it is informed consent). The researcher must be competent to carry out the study.. There must be no deceit – participants must be fully informed.
- 2. - Describe & Evaluate the Experimental Research following research Methods methods: Lab Field Natural -Describe & evaluate each Mr Oakes
- 3. Write your idea on a post it note and stick on the board.
- 4. The research deliberately manipulates the independent variable (change) while maintaining strict control over any other variable.
- 5. Weaknesses Strengths Unnatural situation – Rigorous control over likely to lack validity situation & ppts – can (lack ecological repeat -tested for validity & mudane reliability realism) Controls extraneous Data lacks depth, variables – few detail – reductionist confounding variables method – by looking at the parts the whole might not be studied – Objective & Scientific lacks validity (use stats)
- 6. The researcher deliberately manipulates the independent variable but does this in the subjects environment
- 7. Strengths Weaknesses Careful controls – Control over replicable -tested for extraneous variables reliability is harder than lab exp – possibly more In natural setting - confounding more ecologically valid variables – lack than lab exp validity Less bias from Ethical issues sampling – subjects don’t have to brought to the lab
- 8. Cut and sort the statements (there will be one left over)
- 9. The independent variable is changed by natural occurrence, the researcher just records the effect on the dependent variable
- 10. Strengths Weaknesses IV naturally occuring Lack of control - Mudane realism & Ecological Validity No cause and effect as IV not being Research can be directly carried out when manipulated manipulating the IV would usually be Difficult to repeat – unethical or not cant test reliability practical & generalise
