39、morning. Now, what is it you want to discuss today? STUDENT: Good morning, Dr Reed. This assignment youve given us is the first psychology experiment Ive had to do and Im not sure where to begin or which steps to take. LECTURER: Well, conducting your first psychology experiment can be quite a compli
40、cated and confusing process but just remember that like other sciences, psychology uses the scientific method and bases its conclusions upon empirical evidence. STUDENT: What do you mean by “empirical“ evidence? LECTURER: Ah, well, empirical evidence is established by observation rather than theory.
41、 STUDENT: And the scientific method? LECTURER: Oh, yes, when conducting an experiment you need to follow a few basic steps. STUDENT: I know the first step is to come up with a research question or problem. LECTURER: Yes, a question that can be tested. STUDENT: How do I find an appropriate question?
42、LECTURER: I would suggest one of three methods. Firstly, you can investigate a commonly held belief or what we call “folk“ psychology. STUDENT: I see. So, I could examine the belief that staying up all night to study for an important exam can adversely affect test performance? LECTURER: Thats right.
43、 In that case you would compare the scores of students who stayed up all night with those of students who got a good nights sleep. STUDENT: I think I could do that. LECTURER: Well, alternatively, you might want to consider reviewing the literature on psychology. You know, published studies can be a
44、good source of unanswered research questions. Im sure youve read papers where the authors note the need for further research. STUDENT: So I would come up with some questions that remain unanswered? LECTURER: Correct. But there is a third source of ideas: just think about everyday problems and then c
45、onsider how you could investigate potential solutions. STUDENT: Okay.perhaps I could study various memorization strategies to find out which are the most effective. LECTURER: Thats the idea. Next, you need to define the variables-you know, anything that might have an effect on the outcome of your re
46、search. STUDENT: Yes, I remember we learnt about that last week. LECTURER: Yes. Thats right. Then you have to develop a testable hypothesis that predicts how the variables are related. STUDENT: For example: “Students who are sleep deprived will perform worse in an exam than students who are not slee
47、p deprived“? LECTURER: Exactly. Once you have developed a hypothesis you must carry out background research. STUDENT: I can use books, journals, online databases and websites? LECTURER: Yes, all of those. I covered the reasons for background research in last Fridays lecture, didnt I? What you have t
48、o remember at this stage is to take careful notes and generate a bibliography of your sources. STUDENT: Okay, Ive got that.then, Im ready to develop an experimental design? LECTURER: Well, again you have a choice. There are three basic designs and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. The pre-e
49、xperimental design does not include a control group so there is no comparison. What we call a quasi-experimental design does incorporate a control group but there is no randomization whereas a true experimental design has both control groups and random assignment to groups. STUDENT: Youve also told us about standardization of procedures is this where that comes in? being sure to compare apples to apples. LECTURER: Absolutely. Going back to your sleep dep
