AP Psychology 1.1 Research Methods

question sam's asked to participate in an experiment he's given

information about the topic of the experiment what participation entails

and how long the experiment will take to complete he's

also told that he'll be given five bucks upon completion

and then he can stop at any time without being

penalized This information is all part of which of the

following research processes and hear the potential answers are a

nation of breathing All right well we can get rid

of a right off the bat because we know that

observation is part of the research process that comes once

the experiment has started It's the act of acquisition of

information based on primary observable sources and considering the experiment

question hasn't started yet we're not quite sure what anyone

would be observing Maybe they're observing sam being a jerk

All right we can nick see for similar reasons data

Collection is the process of gathering information in order to

test the hypothesis and evaluate the information in order to

draw conclusions is often done through surveys interviews and focus

groups much like observation it's an active process of data

acquisition and since sam has yet to set foot near

the experiment well it's out as well Data coding happens

after the data collection and involves transforming the collected data

into a medium that's understandable to a computer so that

the computer can be used to work with the data

in drawing conclusions That's definitely not what we're looking for

either really certainly regret bringing you well on board for

this one Sam All right debriefing sounds closer to what

we're looking for Why Because the briefing describes a discussion

between the researcher in the participants about the experiment that

doesn't occur during the experiment Unfortunately this debriefing always occurs

after the experiment and it's an important ethical component in

order to ensure the participant was not harmed in any

way close but still not our answer So that leaves

us with consent Well the fourth person participates in the

experiment he or she must have enough information about what

Will happen in the experiments purpose in order to make

an informed decision about whether or not to participate in

this process is known as consent and is an ethical

responsibility of the researcher So that means d's are correct

Answer And now sam can get back to the experiment

So what We really think he has a face for 00:02:25.428 --> [endTime] modeling
