a method where they collect data face to face is an interview
a method involving collecting data involving participants answering pre planned questions is a questionnaire
collecting data that focuses on a small sample of data in a lot of detail is a case study
a method of analysis that looks for a relationship between variables is a correlation
an experiment carried out in a controlled environment is a laboratory experiment
an experiment carried out in a natural environment is a field experiment
where an IV is not directly is nor directly controlled by the experimenter but its effect on the DV is still tested is a natural experiment
an interview with pre set questions is a structured interview
an interview were questions vary depending on responses of the participant is an unstructured interview
questions from where there are set responses to choose from are closed questions
questions for where there are no fixed responses are open questions
a way of answering closed questions is rating scales
:
to observe people whilst joining in on their activities is participant observation
when participants report on their own experiences is self report
observing people in a real life setting is naturalistic observations
observing people in an environment that has been set up in some way is controlled observation
to observe people with their knowledge is overt observation
to observe people without their knowledge is covert observation
to observe people from a distance is non participant observations
numerical data is cuantative data
descriptive data is qualitative data
when two variables travel in the same direction is positive correlation
when two variables travel in oposite direction is negative correlation
when two variables show no relationship is zero correlation
a score that measures the strength and direction of the relationship between co-variables is correlation coefficient
a study carried out on a group to identify age related changes is longitudinal study
a study where two or more groups are compared is a cross sectional study
