7 What are the three types of explanations people use to acquire knowledge and what are the differences between these explanations Which of these ways is 9 What are seven characteristics that define the scientific method How are these characteristics applied in scientific research CHAPTER 1 LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1 What is social psychology How is it different from other sciences Other psychological fields the scientific study of how people affect and are affected by others basic principles of social influence normal day to day behavior 3 What is the ABC triad the three building blocks of social psychology AFFECT how people feel feelings toward themselves others and different issue BEHAVIOR peoples actions the types of behaviors people engage in COGNITION what people think about state a problem conduct a literature review formulate a hypothesis run an experiment if ethically approved used in psychology to conduct research what they think about themselves others and different situations 5 What is the scientific method How does it apply to psychology the most common way for researchers to acquire knowledge belief based explanations accepted without evidence because it comes from a well trusted source upbringing is a big influence accepted as truth in the absence of evidence scientific explanations based on the scientific method common sense explanations intuition deduction based on our own sense derived from observed events or previous experiences scientific explanations are empirical based on objective systematic obvs scientific explanations are rational they foliow the rules of logic and are consistent with known facts determinism scientific explanations are testable they are verifiable through observation and can be scientific explanations are parsimonious they provide the simplest explanation using the fewest possible assumptions scientific explanations are general they apply beyond the original observations on which they are based scientific observations are tentative they are never accepted as absolutely correct scientific observations are rigorously evaluated they are constantly evaluated for consistency 11 What is the purpose of an ethics committee ethics committees review research to assure that everything is ethically correct 13 What is the difference between a theory and a hypothesis abstract concept that are logically linked concepts are grounded in reality variables are operationally defined proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence theory hypothesis experiment researcher controls procedures participants assigned to condition allows for statements of cause and effect quasi experiment IV not manipulated correlational approach can infer cause and effect but not conclusively no attempt to control for other variables no random assignment 15 What is the difference between an experiment and a quasi experiment What is the difference between an experiment and correlational research 17 What is the difference between a lab and a field setting Which is more controlled Which has greater external validity Which has more internal validity cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid

correlational coefficient cid 127 measure of strength of the linear relationship between two variables 23 How are potential publications processed What happens if someone slips something through that is fabricated if the info can t be found or replicated it ends up dying out 25 What are the five main parts to a research paper publication lab setting ethical and accessible can aid in the observation of affects on the IV and DV field experiments participants natural environment cid 127 more natural easier to generalize 19 What are three different kinds of nonexperimental correlational research case study natural observation survey correlation 0 no relationship 1 positive linear relationship 1 negative linear relationship 0 3 weak negative 3 7 moderate positive 7 1 positive peer review process is used is someone slips abstract introduction cid 127 method results discussion 27 What is the purpose of an abstract gives a brief overview of the articles 120 words research question theoretical context what is the author going to explore 29 What are the three main parts of an introduction What is the purpose of the introduction state it and explain the reasoning for it 31 What are the three main parts of the method section Why is this section important what previous research has been done on the topic what do psych theories suggest about the topic hypothesis participants cid 127 materials procedure who was studied and how many people what was used to test the hypothesis detailed description of what was done other researchers should be able to replicate it descriptive statistics statistical tests performed significance of statistical tests basically says how it turned out is it by chance etc restate results discuss how results fit or don t fit the hypothesis discuss limitations discuss future directions 35 What are the four pieces of information found in the discussion section SELF LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1 What is the self More specifically what are the three main parts to the self the self is very hard to actually define three parts of the self self knowledge self concept self esteem awareness agent self decision making self control interpersonal self self presentation social roles self construal a way of thinking about the self 3 What are the differences between independent and interdependent self construal How do these concepts influence behavior interdependent self construal emphasizes what connects the self to other people and groups 33 What are the three pieces of information found in a results section What does this section tell us Are the results interpreted within this section cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid 127 cid
