  1. Facebook Study • Answer these Qs… • Hypothesis? • IV/DV • Experimental/Control Group? • Population? • Sample Type/Size? • Was it statistically significant? What does this mean?

  2. APA Ethical Guidelines for Research • IRB- Internal Review Board • Both for humans and animals.

  3. Animal Research • Clear purpose • Treated in a humane way • Acquire animals legally • Least amount of suffering possible.

  4. Human Research • No Coercion- must be voluntary • Informed consent • Anonymity • No significant risk • Must debrief

  5. Research Scenario A You plan to study the effects of competition on ability to solve math problems. Half of the subjects will be told that you want to see what approach they take in solving math problems. The other half will be told that you want to see which person chooses the best approach.

  6. Research Scenario B You plan to compare the intellectual skills of retired people with those of college sophomores. To recruit college sophomores, you plan to arrange for volunteers to receive an “A” in their psychology course and for non-volunteers to have their grade lowered. To recruit retired people, you plan to go to a retirement community each evening next week, knock at people’s doors, and ask them to work some puzzles without explaining all of the details of the study because most would not understand.

  7. Research Scenario C You plan to compare marijuana use in college freshmen and seniors. Because you may want to re-interview some subjects later, you plan to write their names and phone numbers on their data sheets. You plan to promise confidentiality so that subjects will trust you and to keep the data in your room in a locked file.

  8. You plan to study the effects of educational (cable) TVC curriculum on learning to read. You give access to the cable TV program to 100 homes with 5-year-olds whose parents want their child to watch the TV curriculum daily. You get permission to test those 100 children in 2 months, along with 100 matched control children who will not have access to the cable TV.

  9. To study self-esteem in children, you plan to have 8-year-olds draw pictures of themselves and their friends and to answer some questions, and provide their responses without their names or other unique identifiers. You plan to ask a teacher friend of yours to let you test some of her students.
