Document Summary
Piaget did case studies on his own 3 children. Gives us intense info about 1 or 2 or 3 people, Freud is famous for this to try to understand how someone works. Only 1 or limited person, more people we can make more generalizations. Study of someone born a male, and an accident occured where boy was raises as a girl. Boys are raised to be like boys, vice versa. Male who lost male parts was raised like a girl, watched by scientist named money. Miserable his whole life, money thought he"d be happy. Watching kids, you can ask alot of questions. Only observe, then you can come up with an experiment. Structured interview ask questions verbally with language of an appropriate level. Parent reports, teacher reports, peer reports, all of a kid, for example. Can"t have causation for correlational research, meaning you are sure 1 thing caused the sometimes. You randomly assign subjects to different groups.
