1. Complete review sheetJustify your views in each box

2. Choose a green or orange post-itGreen for Go-Ahead and research!Orange for ‘Warning’ this may not be good…

Describe the definition, advantages and disadvantages for each design;

Study Designs

• Repeated measures• Independent groups• Matched pairs design

Pick a number…

1, 2 or 3!

Remember your number!!

Study Designs

Repeated measuresEvery participant takes part in all conditions

Independent groupsDifferent Pps are used in each condition

Matched pairs designPps only take part in one condition but are matched on variables important/relevant to the study e.g. age, gender, intelligence etc

Study Designs1. Create an example for each of the designs using your proposal

2. Look up two advantages and two disadvantages for your design

1’s – Repeated measures2s – Independent groups3s – Matched pairs

Study MethodsLaboratoryA study in an environment where variables are tightly controlled

FieldAny study carried out outside the lab, but where the IV is still deliberately manipulated

NaturalThe environment and IV are naturally occuring

Observations

Naturalistic: in a natural environment, everything is left as normalControlled: Some variables are controlled by the researcherParticipant: The researcher takes part and observes from a Pps PoVNon-participant: The researcher watches the Pps from outside

Study Methods continued…

Questionnaires: A set of questions designed to investigate a topic

Interviews: A structured or unstructured set of Qs that are delivered face-to-face

Case studies: the study of an individual, small group or event, usually using information from a range of sources
