KIN 122 Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Broccoli, Random Assignment
Document Summary
Reminder: midterm exam on wednesday oct. 18th, 8:30 am. Create an example of a gain-framed physical activity message and an example of a loss-framed physical activity message. Gain-framed: (cid:862)if you (cid:449)ork out just 20 (cid:373)i(cid:374)utes a day, you (cid:449)ill (cid:271)e healthier a(cid:374)d happier. You (cid:449)ill ha(cid:448)e (cid:373)ore e(cid:374)ergy a(cid:374)d (cid:449)ill ha(cid:448)e a (cid:272)learer (cid:373)i(cid:374)d. (cid:863) Loss-framed: (cid:862)if you do(cid:374)"t (cid:449)ork out, you (cid:449)ill get si(cid:272)k a(cid:374)d (cid:449)ill de(cid:448)elop heart problems, and your lack of a(cid:272)ti(cid:448)ity (cid:449)ill lead to a slo(cid:449) death. (cid:863) Differentiate between lab and field studies, and experimental and non- experimental studies. Become familiar with class social psychology research studies. Laboratory studies conducted in laboratories: standardized conditions, pros: efficient, easy to get informed consent and debrief, cons: artificial, demand characteristic, usually non-random sample, example: bicep training study. Experimental versus non-experimental studies: one variable (iv) has direct causal influence on another (dv, includes manipulation of iv and random assignment. How was the outcome affected by the independent variable?)
