Most famous psychologist

Presented psychoanalytic perspective

Focuses on the role of unconscious thoughts and feelings in driving behavior

Front 5

Biological perspectives

Back 5

Focus on how we are influenced by our biology

Front 6

Behavioral perpextices

Back 6

Focus on how we are influenced by past experiences/ what has happened to us

Front 7

Cognitive perspectives

Back 7

Focus on how we are influenced by what we know, remember and believe

Front 8

Psychodynamic perspectice

Back 8

Focus on how we are influenced by unconscious desires

Front 9

Name all 5 research methods

Back 9

-experiment

-quasi experiment

-correlation

-survey

-observation

Front 10

Define population

Back 10

Everyone u are interested in

Front 11

Define sample

Back 11

People who actually participate in the study (representative of the population)

Front 12

Define sample

Back 12

People who actually participate in the study (representative of the population)

Front 13

Define IV

Back 13

What the experimenter decides (if they play video game or not)

Front 14

Define Dv

Back 14

What happens to sample after (measured aggression)

Front 15

5 thi8ngs a good experiment has

Back 15

-random sample of pop of interest

-and IV w at least 2 conditions

-a DV

-random assignment

-control of extraneous variables

Front 16

Front 17

Operational definitions

Back 17

Must decide how we are going to manipulate the IV and measure the DV

Front 18

Quasi experiment

Back 18

-IV is not manipulated by their researcher

-ppl placed in different condition b/c of preexisting condition ie no random assignment

-not a ‘true experiment ‘ b/c lack of random assignment means cannot identify cause and effect

Front 19

Correlation

Back 19

-looking for relationship b/w variables

-no IV nothing is manipulated

-looking for pattern in data

Front 20

Correlation

Back 20

-looking for relationship b/w variables

-no IV nothing is manipulated

-looking for pattern in data

Front 21

Positive correlation

Back 21

High score in one variable associated with high score on the other

Front 22

Negative correlation

Back 22

High score in one variable associated w low score on the other

Front 23

Negative correlation

Back 23

High score in one variable associated w low score on the other

Front 24

Why are correlations tricky to interpret

Back 24

Don’t know which variable came first, also can’t rule out that a third variable is behind the relationship

Front 25

Negative correlation

Back 25

High score in one variable associated w low score on the other

Front 26

Why are correlations tricky to interpret

Back 26

Don’t know which variable came first, also can’t rule out that a third variable is behind the relationship

Front 27

Name 3 issues with surveys

Back 27

-hard to get random sample (ppl who0 respond unlikely to b e typical)

-how question is phrased will impact the response (order in which order is presented can change the answer as well)

-pl often lie and give response that is more desirable

Front 28

Negative correlation

Back 28

High score in one variable associated w low score on the other

Front 29

Why are correlations tricky to interpret

Back 29

Don’t know which variable came first, also can’t rule out that a third variable is behind the relationship

Front 30

Name 3 issues with surveys

Back 30

-hard to get random sample (ppl who0 respond unlikely to b e typical)

-how question is phrased will impact the response (order in which order is presented can change the answer as well)

-pl often lie and give response that is more desirable

Front 31

Observation

Back 31

—includes listening

-may yield surprising results

Front 32

Negative correlation

Back 32

High score in one variable associated w low score on the other

Front 33

Observation

Back 35

—includes listening

-may yield surprising results

Front 36

Issues with obervations

Back 36

If people know they’re being watched they may change their behavior (reactivity)

Front 37

Define descriptive statistics

Back 37

Describe and summarize data

Front 38

Define descriptive statistics

Back 38

Describe and summarize data

Front 39

3 factors of central tendancy

Back 39

-mean

-median

-mode

Front 40

2 factors of variability

Back 40

-range

-standard deviation

Front 41

How to find mean

Back 41

Aka average (total/#ppl)

Front 42

How to find median

Back 42

Arrange coats from lowest to highest an find the middle number ( if even find the halfway b/w two numbers)

Front 43

How to find median

Back 43

Arrange coats from lowest to highest an find the middle number ( if even find the halfway b/w two numbers)

Front 44

How to find mode

Back 44

Number that repeats often (not all data has a mode)

Front 45

How to find range

Back 45

Highesat score- lowest score

Front 46

Inferential statistics

Back 46

Determines whether results may just b e by chance

Front 47

Inferential statistics

Back 47

Determines whether results may just b e by chance

Front 48

What is a significant result

Back 48

-unlikely to have occurred just by chance thus we conclude IV did impact the DV

Front 49

4 important principles of research ethics

Back 49

-informed consent

-minimal risk

-confidentiality

-debriefing
