Psych 325 1st Edition Lecture 6Chapter Two Continued-Sources of Guidance on Ethical Issues-Informed Consent Statement for "Person Perception Study"oScreen patients if the experiment has dangerous tendencies (fantasizing about suicide) othe study could prime their thoughtsoMust consider risks<benefits-Levels of privacyoAnonymity: no way we can figure out who's who (name, ID, address) completely anonymous-Subjects are more likely to be honestoConfidentiality: information is privileged to the researcher. Subjects info is in their handsonly-Debriefing oIf you ask about subjects suicidal thoughts for exampleoMust inform of:-Purpose of the study-Probe for distressPeople are sensitive so if you must understand and go through stress protocol before they leave (if need be)-Curiosity Respect that people may want to knowChapter 3, Part 1: An Introduction to the Validity Family-FACT---------> TRUTH-Measures we use include some degree of error-Best actress of all time example-Identifying true causes for behavior: HARD TO DO-Ice cream sales--------------> Number of murdersoHeat/temp, time of the year, war, crowding, conflicts-All correlated, measures co-vary but this does not mean causationoConstruct validity: are you measuring what you think you are?oAggression: blasts of noise, not helping, electric shocks, verbalExam 1 ReviewChapter One-What we as researchers like to do is make general statements as to why things occur: theories-Exercise: more stress leads to worse health (theoretical statement)oIn order to test if that theory has validity, you need a hypothesis-Experiment--> YOU manipulate variables/control how much subjects getThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Increased stress--anger recall (catching your partner with another person)=increased HRDecreased stress--relaxation (breathing deeply)=decreased HR-Correlational study--> measured, occur naturally/no manipulation, health outcome is naturalHigher scores on life events will be associated with increased HR-MANIPULATION VS. ASSOCIATION-Parsimonious: simplicity=good theory-There is no perfect theoryPeople who have resilient personalities: stress is not detrimental-Difference between basic and applied research: one question on the exam-Testability is synonymous with falsifiability -Operational definitions-Not much about history on exam-We as human beings like to see the logical order of things: determinism (understand the logic to that)Chapter Two-Three types of hypothesis testing-Essence of validation: positive test bias and behavioral confirmation (Festinger vs. Bem)-Reasons you should care about ethics-30 multiple choice
