PSYB32H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Confounding, Mental Disorder, Falsifiability
Document Summary
Chapter 5: research methods in the study of abnormal behaviour. What is science: the pursuit of systematized knowledge through observation, comes from the latin word scire, meaning to know , always involves a method and a goal, scientific experiments must be testable and reliable. Testing and replication: ideas and propositions should be stated clearly and precisely, these must be testable and falsifiable, experiments must produce the same results, regardless of conditions, each time they are conducted. She was believed to be more mature than the other two eves. Is calculated by (between group variance/within group variance: when these p-values are less than . 05, the results did not occur by chance. If it is more than . 05, we can say that the results occurred by chance: classificatory variables: variables that are not influenced or manipulated by the researcher. Mixed designs: combine experimental and correlational research, one of the variables should not be manipulated, whether it is a classificatory or correlational variable.
