5 search strategies of PsycINFO
|
1. know your search terms
2. narrow your search 3. look for partial words 4. use question marks 5. use and, or and not |
|
|
impact factor
|
how often other scholars in the field are citing articles from the journal
|
|
|
the aim of experimental prediction
|
to build on or challenge what already exists
|
|
|
a testable hypothesis
|
one that specifies and unambiguous relationship between observable events
|
|
|
to succeed at a strong hypothesis (3 needs)
|
1. originality of the idea
2. the constraints of time 3. available resources |
|
|
Lesson 1 of designing your study
|
avoid complexity
|
|
|
Lesson 2 of design study
|
utilize the design team
|
|
|
experimental control definition
|
the process of protecting the integrity of the experimental conditions
researchers accomplish this by minimizing or measuring and variables that might have an unintended influence |
|
|
primary dependent variables
|
the questions you ask after dealing with the experimental manipulations
|
|
|
interrator reliability
|
consistency by the coders in a lab
|
|
|
construct
|
a specific psychological attitude or property that you, as the researcher, are attempting to measure
|
|
|
internal consistency reliability
|
set of items designed to measure a particular construct should be consistent with each other in a given survey
|
|
|
moderation
|
the extent in which a third variable influences the strength of relationship between an independent variable and dependent variable
|
|
|
systematic variability
|
basically you should be consistent with how you run a study within between the different researchers
|
|
|
expectation effects/demand characteristics
|
cues that arise in the experiment that suggest that suggest to the participant how he or she should act
can't let them deduce the hypothesis |
|
|
convenience sampling
|
the use of participants who are maximally accessible and maximally likely to volunteer at a time

2. identify important literature 3. derive hypothesis 4. research topic 5. identify the appropriate type of study 6. identify important variables 7. operationally define variables 8. develop the procedure |
|
|
Theories definition
|
is a contemplative and rational type of abstract or generalizing thinking, or the results of such thinking. Depending on the context, the results might for example include generalized explanations of how nature works, or even how divine or metaphysical matters are thought to work.
Definition Example: Volunteering Mortality Characteristics of good theories: boundary conditions Appropriate theories for your research question can be found during lit review Theory is the big idea or explanation Many predictions / hypotheses can be derived from a single theory Features of good hypotheses (p 43) |
