Document Summary
Psc 41 lecture 11 experiments in psychology 05/07/2019: warm-up, claim: if you had a bad night"s sleep, don"t get in an argument. Individuals who were sleep deprived were less able to resolve a conflict: this would be considered as an associative claim, predictor variable was measured, not manipulated. Staged manipulation to lead you to believe that your partner disliked many important aspects of your personality: this was categorical since we have either yes or no. We can have two sub-groups within each of the three groups. One sub- group will have a superficial conversation and the other sub-group will have a more in depth conversation. Independent variable: number of tasks (single task or dual task). other cars, etc. : four main types of validity, construct validity, statistical validity. The groups, on average, should be the same. If you have a smaller number of participants, use a matching procedure: creating matched groups: pair similar participants together on that trait or variable.
