Psychology Question
Pt 1 – Analyze methods to develop a research chart
This week, you will review the foundations of using a between-subject experimental method. This includes a review of sampling, group creation (including randomness), levels of manipulation, how variables may be measured, the nature of inferential statistics with comparing differences, applications of its use, hands-on exploration of statistical testing, and what outcomes may signify in response to the given research question(s) and hypotheses.
In the chart, provide the name(s) of the method you reviewed, its primary use and when it should be used, strengths and limitations of the method, ethical considerations, and one example of when the method could be used (include your interests or something more general).
Pt 2
For this assignment, you will extend your examination of the between-subjects experimental method into two hands-on activities. Referring to page 331 and the SPSS in Focus: Two-Independent-Sample t-Test in your text, follow the steps for conducting this analysis. Then, on page 338, follow the steps provided for the SPSS in Focus: One-Way between Subjects ANOVA.
Pt 3
For this week’s reflection, consider the following points:
- Explain the research situations that may require you to use between-subjects experimental methods (be sure to give examples/be specific).
- Examine the limitations and benefits learned about these methods and their use.
- Analyze any ethical considerations with implementing these methods.
- Reflect on your experience with this week’s SPSS activity.
- Include any questions you may have for your professor.
