Document Summary
Analysis of data to determine whether your findings are statistically significant. Ex"s include: mean differences test, correlational tests. Difference between statistical vs. real world" significance: only statistical significance matters in lab settings: if not statistical, then these are not considered significant, p < 0. 05. Need to go through approval for research to happen. Human subjects: institutional review board approval, informed consent, debriefing experiments. Why: ex: stanford prison experiment (with philip zimbardo) Yes, all the time: even when t makes us look very silly, the need to conform can affect our behavior in all sorts of different ways. Ex: nazi"s: after wwii, they said they were just following orders", but just because you may be conforming to fit in, does not always mean that it is right. Types of social power (french and raven, 1959): Published an article delineating what they thought were different types of social power (ways people can be influenced by others socially).
