Document Summary
Using first piece of info to make a decision (anchoring effect) Philosophical roots (nature - nature + mind - body) Taking pieces of information as they are now and using them to help say what will happen next. How someone can control the settings in which a phenomena occurs. Everyone in the population has an equal chance of being selected. Done with whatever population is most easily accessible. Participant observation (requires you to take part in the observing) Not manipulated or changed by the researcher. Experimental group and control/comparison group are exposed to a condition. Randomly assign sample into groups of the independent variable and then measure the dependent variable. Confounds can potentially change the outcome in experimental design. The degree to which effects in the dependent variable are caused by independent variable and not confounds. (how much control did you have inside the study?) The degree to which the finding of the study generalize beyond settings.
