  1. Ethical Dilemma • Week 3:  • INTRO Dilemma: http://onlineacademics.org/CA517/Ethics.htm#3 • INPUT Read and Discuss Park University Website: • http://www.park.edu/grad/catalog.aspxhttp://www.park.edu/facultymanual/GradSchoolAcademicHonesty.htm CA 517 Unit 3

  2. "These are much deeper waters than I had thought.”-Sherlock Holmes Week 3:  Get your feet wet. Design, Probability, Sampling CA 517 Unit 3

  3. What is an operational definition? • Observable. • Measurable. • See for example, last week’s rubric as a way of definiting items so they are observable and measurable. • http://www.jamescmccroskey.com/measures/ • Interpersonal attraction is defined as the score on the McCroskey and McCain Measures of Interpersonal Attraction. See McCroskey, J. C., & McCain, T. A. (1974). The measurement of interpersonal attraction. Speech Monographs, 41, 261-266. Retrieved http://www.jamescmccroskey.com/measures/attraction_interpersonal.htm CA 517 Unit 3

  4. For next week, design a quantitative study • Content Analysis • Survey • Experiment CA 517 Unit 3

  5. Example Content Analysis • Comparison of content communicated in magazine soft drink and cigarette ads. • The use of compliance gaining strategies in the movie Mean Girls. CA 517 Unit 3

  6. Method • Describe the design: • the experimental, content analysis, or survey method, • including the apparatus, • data-gathering procedures, • complete test names, • description of the artifacts, participants or subjects, • and sampling. CA 517 Unit 3

  7. Method • The questionnaire or apparatus (or materials) and their function in the experiment, content analysis, or survey. CA 517 Unit 3

  8. Method • The procedure (experimental manipulations, randomization, control features in the design). • In content analysis, what are the categories of analysis? • In survey, how will you recruit participants, what will you ask, will you use interview, questionnaire, focus groups? • Summarize or paraphrase instructions. • Tell the reader what you will do and how you will do it in sufficient detail so that a read could reasonably replicate your study. CA 517 Unit 3

  9. Probability • Kindergartners and philosophers can study probability.  • It is dull; it is interesting.  CA 517 Unit 3

  10. Laws of chance • Gain knowledge from ignorance if we view randomness as ignorance.  • Random events, in the whole, occur in lawful ways with monotonous regularity.  • Try rolling number cubes. "Nothing clears up a case so much as stating it to another person.” –Sherlock Holmes CA 517 Unit 3

  11. Why? • Scientists agree that if two dice are thrown a number of times, there will probably be more 7s than 2s or 12s.  • They will also agree that certain events like finding a $100 bill or winning a sweepstakes are extremely unlikely. CA 517 Unit 3

  12. Regarding People • Chance events tend to distribute themselves in the form of a normal curve. CA 517 Unit 3
