  2. Learning outcomesTheory and practice in qualitative research • Distinguish between qualitative and quantitative data. • Explain strengths and limitations of a qualitative approach to research. • To what extent can findings be generalized from qualitative studies? • Discuss ethical considerations in qualitative research. • Discuss sampling techniques appropriate to qualitative research (for example, purposive sampling, snowball sampling). • Explain effects of participant expectations and researcher bias in qualitative research. • Explain the importance of credibility in qualitative research. • Explain the effect of triangulation on the credibility/trustworthiness of qualitative research. • Explain reflexivity in qualitative research.

  3. Markbands for paper 3 • LOW The answer does not reach a standard described by the descriptors below. - There is an attempt to answer the question, but knowledge and understanding is limited, often inaccurate, or of marginal relevance to the question. The response makes no direct reference to the stimulus material or relies too heavily on quotations from the text. • MIDThe question is partially answered. - Knowledge and understanding is accurate but limited. Either the command term is not effectively addressed or the response is not sufficiently explicit in answering the question. The response makes limited use of the stimulus material. • HIGHThe question is answered in a focused and effective manner and meets the demands of the command term. The answer is supported by appropriate and accurate knowledge and understanding of qualitative research methodology. The response demonstrates a critical understanding of qualitative research methodology applied to the stimulus material.

  4. Sample Paper 3 questions 1. Discuss the issue of generalizing data obtained through this method of research? [10 marks] 2. What are the ethical issues involved when using this method of research? [10 marks] 3. Interviews formed a part of this study discuss advantages and disadvantages of the interview as a method in this study? [10 marks]

  5. Qualitative/quantitative debate • Debate statement • Psychology is a science and must therefore achieve its goal of predicting and controlling human behavior. This can only be achieved if nomothetic quantitative data is the foundation of theories relating to the mind and human behavior.

  6. Debate rubric 1. The speakers’ statements clearly supported their position in the debate. 5 4 3 2 1 2. The speakers’ statements appeared to be well researched and documented. 5 4 3 2 1 3. The speakers addressed the opposing team and made appropriate eye contact. 5 4 3 2 1 4. Arguments were presented with clarity and appropriate volume. 5 4 3 2 1 5. Speakers were well rehearsed with minimal reliance on notes. 5 4 3 2 1 6. Rebuttals were specific to opposing arguments and expressed with clarity. 5 4 3 2 1 7. Rebuttals showed evidence of good listening skills. 5 4 3 2 1 8. Concluding arguments and statements were effective and convincing. 5 4 3 2 1 9. Speakers adhered to the rules of the debate. 5 4 3 2 1 10. The overall collective effort of the debate team was effective. 5 4 3 2 1

  7. Debate topics • For each team ‘for and against’ a presentation must be prepared . • You will use a from of presentation called ‘PechaKucha” – means chit- chat in Japanese. • You are allowed 6 slides timed for 20 seconds each. • Significantly minimal use of images and words in the slide is crucial- your delivery is far more important. • The for presentation will be made followed by the against. • Three minutes will be allowed for questions form the teams. • Once all presentations have been made open debate will take place. • Ready to debate on Monday 17.

  8. Questions • Using Crane 346 identify the type(s) of generalizations which can be made from a case study. • In your pair identify two qualitative studies which you have examined in IB Psychology. • Answer the question from the syllabus- ‘to what extent can findings be generalized from qualitative studies?’ Use explicit evidence from these studies to justify your answer.

  9. Evaluation in Psychology MCEG Gender Equal no of M & F PPs? Can results be Generalised? Methodology Culture Ethics Controls? Variables? Reliability? Validity? Ecological validity? m From what culture are the PPs? Is it generalisable? Are PPs protected from psychological and physical harm? APA Guidelines followed?

  10. Ethics are…….. • Standards for proper and responsible behavior.

  11. Ethics are aimed at…….. • Promoting the dignity of people • Maintaining scientific integrity • Preventing research that will be irreversibly harmful.

  12. Major ethical considerations are…. • Informed Consent • Confidentiality • No cause of harm or stress-leave as you came in. • Right to withdraw. • Debriefing

  13. Ethical use of animals in psychological research….. • When it is unethical to use humans but by using animals the good outweighs the bad. • When you avoid or minimize stress. • Use as few animals as possible • Do not cause irreversible harm.

  14. Exercise • Refer to studies we’ve addressed in class so far (if you need to watch videos in the next slide) • Brainstorm a list of activities/procedures in the experiment which were unethical. • Consider the date of the experiment and identify how the year may have influenced the procedure(s) or the research topic. • Did good outcomes of the research outweigh the ethical transgressions?

  15. Some past experiments • Lobotomy-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0aNILW6ILk • Milgram http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcvSNg0HZwk • Elliot - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCjDxAwfXV0 • http://listverse.com/2008/09/07/top-10-unethical-psychological-experiments/ Top 10 unethical experiments http://listverse.com/2008/09/07/top-10-unethical-psychological-experiments/

  16. Ethical issues Review: Discuss in pairs • What is Informed consent? • What is Debriefing? When should it occur? • What is Deception? Is it ever justified? • What is a cost benefit analysis? How does it relate to ethical issues • What is the right to withdraw? • Why should data from psychological research be confidential? • Why is it important for participants to be protected from psychological and physical harm • Outline the ethical guidelines for the use of animals in research
