Culture, Gender, Socioeconomic Status 3.Psychoanalyticc. Self-directed 4.Cognitived. Genetics 5.Socioculturale. Information processing 6.Humanisticf. Conditioning

2. Research How psychologists collect information

3. Before the researching begins… 1- Develop a specific question about a hypothesis 2-Look for evidence 3- Select a sample from population to be studied

4. POPULATION Sample(relatively small group)

5. Page 37 What is a requirement of a sample? What type of sample would a psychologist not want? How can you avoid that type of sample? (2 ways)

6. Population you are studying- How far can an average 40 year old man run? Representative- Sample includes a wide variety of 40 year old men Nonrepresentative- Sample includes a variety of 40 year old men, 95% who are marathon runners

7. METHODS Naturalistic Observation- simply observes the object in their natural setting (they individual or animal are unaware) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3np1TeltSU

8. METHODS Case Study- intensive study on one or more individuals These can NOT be generalized!!!

9. METHODS Surveys- many individuals asked a set of questions

10. METHODS Longitudinal Study- Same group of individuals studied at set intervals of a long range of time. Focus on change in characteristics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM-yKeJg-So

11. METHODS Cross-Sectional Studies- data is collected from groups of different ages then compared What might this type of study help psychologists figure out?

12. Correlation Relationship between two sets of data Can be positive OR negative, or show no correlation Correlation does NOT equal causation

13. EXPERIMENTS May be used because the psychologist can control the situation Variable-factor which is capable of change INDEPENDENT VS. DEPENDENT The experimenter can change or alter Experimental group is exposed to this variable Changes in relation to the independent variable (if there is an affect)
