Document Summary
50 multiple choice: 44 multiple choice abcde, 6 matching with 10 words in the bank. 7 different view points to understanding behaviour. Each considers different components to be important. Remember: behaviour is multiply determined: psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, evolutionary, humanistic, sociocultural, biological, unconscious processes, learned behaviour, thought processes, evolution, heritage, striving to achieve, social forces, culture, genes, brain processes. Friends: cognitive, behavioral, and biological are closely aligned perspectives. Enemies: evolutionary has no strong opinions about cognitive , humanistic probably has no strong opinions about behavioral. E. g. cognitive neuroscience: evolutionary theory is closely linked to biological, psychodynamic vs. every other perspective, humanistic vs. almost every other perspective! (except sociocultural) Dependent variables (outcomes, what you are predicting) Correlational designs: experimenter does not manipulate variables. Between-subjects experiments: participants randomized to conditions. Within-subjects experiments: all participants complete all experimental conditions. Correlation coefficient (from -1 to +1; r) Standard deviation (spread of values around mean; 68/95/99 rule) Placebo effect: 3rd variable problem, can cause spurious results.
