|
What is the Golden Rule? |
The Golden Rule is that experiments always involve a minimum of two groups |
Think about what is significant about the groups within an experiment |
|
|
What are the two primary groups of an experiment? |
The control and experimental groups are the two primary groups of an experiment |
|
|
|
What is the IV? |
An IV is the independent variable and is the variable that the experimenter manipulates |
|
|
|
What is the DV? |
The DV is the dependent variable and is the variable that the experimenter measures |
|
|
|
What is an extraneous variable? |
An extraneous variable is a variable that affects the DV but is not the IV |
|
|
|
What is a cause and effect relationship? |
A cause and effect relationship is one where the IV has a direct affect on the DV |
|
|
|
What are the three types of experiment? |
The three types of experiment are lab, field and natural/quasi |
|
|
|
What are the five key features of a lab experiment? |
Where it took place What the IV was What the DV was The extraneous variables present Whether the procedure was standardised or not |
|
|
|
Who conducted the Bobo Doll experiment? |
The Bobo Doll experiment was conducted by Albert Bandura |
|
|
|
When did the Bobo Doll experiment take place? |
The Bobo Doll experiment took placed in 1961 |
|
|
|
What are live models? |
Live models are people in front of us |
|
|
|
What are symbolic models? |
Symbolic models are people in the media |
|
|
|
Which type model did Bandura believe was more influential? |
Bandura believed both live and symbolic were just as influential as each other |
|
|
|
Which type of model did the Bobo Doll experiment use? |
The Bobo Doll experiment used live models |
|
|
|
What did the Bobo Doll experiment involve? |
The Bobo Doll experiment involved an adult performing either aggressive acts of violence or calm acts towards a doll while a young child watched, the adult would leave the child and cameras observed what the child decided to do |
|
|
|
Who was most influenced by the adult during the Bobo Doll experiment? |
Males were more influenced, especially when the live model was also a male |
|
|
|
What did Bandura believe occurs before imitation? |
Bandura believed we go through internal, mental processes before imitation, where likelihood of success, consequences and desirability of imitation are considered |
|
|
|
Where do lab experiments take place? |
Lab experiments take place in tightly controlled, artificial environments |
|
|
|
Why are standardised procedures used in lab experiments? |
Standardised procedures are used in lab experiments to ensure each participant has the same experience to increase the accuracy of the results |
|
|
|
Is reliability a strength or weakness of lab experiments and why? |
Reliability is a strength of lab experiments because the standardised procedures make recreating the experiment much easier |
|
|
|
Is ecological validity a strength or weakness of lab experiments and why? |
Ecological validity is a weakness of lab experiments because the artificial environmental reduces the realism of the experiment making it more difficult to apply the results to a real-life setting |
|
|
|
Is internal validity a strength or weakness of lab experiments and why? |
Internal validity is a strength of lab experiments because the experiment is tightly controlled allow for extraneous variables to be more controlled ensuring a more accurate result |
|
|
|
Is demand characteristics a strength or weakness of lab experiments and why? |
Demand characteristics are a weakness of lab experiments because the artificial environment creates a implicit demand in the patient to perform according to the expectations of the experimenter |
