PSYB01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Deeper Understanding, Content Validity, Latent Variable
Document Summary
Every week from now we are going to talk about specific methods. Descriptive research: used to describe, we are not looking at how a lead to b, we are looking at how a covariance b, a lot of things in circle predict the relationship. E. g. , relationship commitment: there are other variables that are overlapping. Builds or tests a theory-based model of a behavior, using complex correlational methods. Imagine it is the relationship: these things are involved in relationship satisfaction, e. g. , relationship commitment, willing to compromise or sacrifice. Is the stress experienced by university students related to their discipline of study: do people show more restrained behaviors in more formal organizational cultures, by looking at relationship between variables. In-depth interviews and focus groups, behavioural observation, archival data: case study is also included but it is an average of these 3 methods. What was going on: you need to help them to elaborate on this event more and more.
