The example that stood out for me was a customer named Joe who goes to the ice cream shop every day after work at 5pm.

When his friend tasted the milkshake,

    Even by using very rigorous methodology there is still some level of error in our findings and will always be. It’s likely that if replicating the same study again with the same methods it may lead to the same conclusion but the strength of the conclusions may differ because of the error in sampling or measurement. Just using one study is not definitive and can easily be critiqued. When using statistical significance tests you will likely always find some difference when having a control and a logical manipulation (Abelson, 10). Because of these reasons it’s important to use the null hypothesis test as a guide, but not as the end all be…

For example, if vulnerable adults within a health and social care sector are being asked questions in front of others some may not feel comfortable in saying what they actually believe and just agree and conform to what the rest of the service users are saying which is an implication and will result in a lack of validity and reliability within the…

    A geriatric social worker develops a very lengthy scale to assess the degree of staff sensitivity to the needs of residents in nursing homes. This scale is designed to be completed by both staff and residents. According to Rubin & Babbie (2016), this scale may be vulnerable to common sources of systematic and random error. As discussed by Rubin & Babbie (2016), sources of systematic error in measurement scales originate from biases during data collection in which a pattern emerges indicating a consistent inaccurate portrayal of the concept being measured. A bias response distorts the measurement with answers based on the respondent’s personal opinion or beliefs.…
