Unit 7 CA Unit 7c Observing Behavior

Unit 7 CA Kerlinger & Lee Ch. 31. Observations of Behavior and Sociometry.

Unit 7 CA 5173 Observation controversy There is a lot of controversy and debate about observation and methods of observation.

Unit 7 CA 5174 Two basic modes of observation 1. We can watch peoples' overt actions (i.e., what they do and what they say) 2. We can ask people about their own actions and the behavior of others.

Unit 7 CA 5175 The observer could be a major problem in the study. The observer could make incorrect inferences about the observed behavior. The observer can affect the objects of observation by being part of the observational system.

Unit 7 CA 5176 Observed measurements are subject to reliability and validity requirements. By having the observer interpret the observation, validity may be reduced. Reliability for observations is in the form of agreement between judges or observers. The behavior to be measured through direct observation must be stated clearly with good operational definitions. tos/uncategorized/2008/02/21/r ed_wine_design_fusion.jpg

Unit 7 CA 5177 The fundamental task for the observer is to categorize the observed data. Categories are created, and as certain behaviors are observed, a tally or note is made in the category. _2JrKyRMcVU8/Sj27jXO YfuI/AAAAAAAASGI/JVs kGcM- Vyg/s400/Red+Child+30.j pg

Unit 7 CA 5178 Very strict operational definitions. All observation requires some level of interpretation from the observer.

Unit 7 CA 5179 Generalizability Different observation systems vary in the amount of generalizability. Some are very general, others are quite specific.

Unit 7 CA Rating scale One type of observation involves observers presented with an observation system in the form of a rating scale. They are asked to assess an object in terms of one or more characteristics.

Unit 7 CA Ratings have two serious weaknesses: Because ratings are easy to construct and use, they may be created without knowledge of their intrinsic defects. Ratings are prone to constant or bias error.

Unit 7 CA Sociometry Sociometry is a broad term indicating the number of methods of gathering and analyzing data on choice, communication, and interaction patterns of individuals in groups.
