  4. Normal Curve -4 -3 -2 -1Mean +1 +2 +3 +4 Central Tendency a) Mode (most frequent score) b) Mean (average score; [EX/N]) c) Median (midpoint of scores) Variability (Spread in Scores) a) Range (lowest to highest score) b) Standard Deviation c) Variance

  5. Computation of Standard Deviation & Variance Deviation scores (scores minus the mean Squared deviation scores Test Scores X 10 20 30 40 50 -20 -10 0 10 20 x x2 400 100 0 100 400 EX2 = 1000 (Sum of the squared deviation scores) EX = 150 (EX/N) = 30 (Mean) Mean of the sum of the squared deviation scores EX2/N = 200 (the variance or s2) = standard deviation or s s2 200 = 14.14 (standard deviation)

  18. Basic Steps in Research Observation Statement of the Problem (Research Question) • State Hypotheses • Use/Generate a Theory Design Study Measurement (Collect Data) Statistical Analysis Interpretation (Conclusion)

  19. ~ Tips for Choosing a Research Topic ~ • Read, read, read (e.g., journal articles) to generate research ideas • Pick a topic that interests you (it will be more fun to do) • Be realistic (pick a topic that can be accomplished in a reasonable • time frame) • Improve on prior research (e.g., “limitations of present study,” • “suggestions for future research”) • Minimize problems, time delays in data collection phase of • research

  20. Basic Scales of Measurement Measurement: The assignment of numerals to events or objects according to certain rules • Nominal(Categorization or classification) • Yes/No, True/False • Male/Female • Ordinal(Ranking) • 1st, 2nd, 3rd • Interval (Equal intervals exist between points on the scale) • _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ • 1 2 3 4 5 • Ratio(an absolute zero point exists) • Kelvin scale of temperature • Time • Height, Weight

  21. ~ I-O Research ~ Measurement • Limit collection of categorical data Age in Years: _______ Income: ____________ Age 0 - 18 19 – 25 26 – 35 36 – 45 46 – 55 56 – 65 85 & Above Income 0 ------ 10,000 10,001 – 25,000 25,001 – 35,000 35,001 – 50,000 50,001 – 75,000 75,001 – 100,000 100,000 & Above

  22. ~ I-O Research ~ Measurement (cont.) • Limit collection of dichotomous data Yes _____ No _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ 1 2 3 4 5 Highly Highly Disagree Agree

  23. ~ I-O Research ~ Measurement (cont.) • Restrict possibility of missing data Scale Questions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Missing Computed score for scale or subscales containing questions #5 and #48 will also be missing 48 49 50 Missing

  24. ~ Key Terms ~ • Independent variable (IV) (predictor): One that can be manipulated or used to predict scores on the dependent variable • Dependent variable (DV) (criterion): The variable of interest; the one you are attempting to understand or affect • SAT, ACT scores used to predict success in college • Interview scores used to predict performance in a job IVs DVs

  25. Design Options Control Realism • Laboratory Experiment • Manipulate independent variable • Precise measurement of dependent variable Field study • Case study • Detailedinformation • Lowgeneralizability • Naturalistic observation Survey research

  26. ~ I-O Research ~ • Interesting fact: Substantial amount of I-O studies are non-experimental (about 50%) • Overall Point: • Best for research to be driven by theories and problem-solving approaches not by methodology/statistics • Much research efforts in I-O focus on rather trivial questions that can be studied with “fancy” techniques • Bulk of research has limited applied significance

  30. An organization reports that accidents have decrease substantially since they began a drug testing program. In 1995, the year before drug testing, the number of accidents was 50. In 1996, the year testing began, the amount dropped to 40.In 1997, the year after drug testing the number of accident dropped to 29. What do you make of this? 55 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 * * * 1995 Drug Testing 1997

  34. ~ Basic Ethics in Research ~ • Informed Consent • Right to Privacy • Anonymous, confidential treatment of data • Protection from Deception (cost-benefit assessment) • Debriefing e.g., (explanation of the purpose of the study)
