Naturalistic Observations02:30

Naturalistic Observations

15.2K
If you want to understand how behavior occurs, one of the best ways to gain information is to simply observe the behavior in its natural context. However, people might change their behavior in unexpected ways if they know they are being observed. How do researchers obtain accurate information when people tend to hide their natural behavior? As an example, imagine that your professor asks everyone in your class to raise their hand if they always wash their hands after using the restroom. Chances...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

41.7K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Statistical Significance01:37

Statistical Significance

Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...

Introspection01:29

Introspection

Introspection, long upheld as a reliable route to self-knowledge, involves examining one's thoughts, emotions, and mental processes. It underpins many psychological practices, from mindfulness meditation to psychotherapy and self-help strategies. However, empirical evidence challenges the accuracy of introspection as a means of understanding oneself.Limitations of Introspective InsightSeminal work by Nisbett and Wilson demonstrated that individuals are frequently unaware of the true causes...

Methods to Assess Microbial Communities

60
Microbial communities, comprising bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotic microorganisms, inhabit diverse ecosystems and play crucial roles in environmental and biological processes. Their diversity is defined by three main parameters: species richness (the number of distinct species), species abundance (the relative quantity of each species), and species evenness (how uniformly individual species are distributed in various locations). These factors together shape the structure and ecological balance...

The Scientific Method02:40

The Scientific Method

57.2K
Research is what makes the difference between facts and opinions. Facts are observable realities, and opinions are personal judgments, conclusions, or attitudes that may or may not be accurate. In the scientific community, facts can be established only using evidence collected through empirical research.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare evaluation
  • Methodology

Background:

  • Mixed methods research (MMR) is increasingly recognized for its rigor and value.
  • MMR leverages strengths of diverse designs, compensates for weaknesses, and enhances descriptions of phenomena.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the added value of a mixed methods design in a national Specialist and Advanced Practice (SCAPE) evaluation.
  • To propose a reporting guideline for explicitly stating the added value of MMR in research.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the SCAPE national evaluation study to illustrate MMR value-added claims.
  • Conducted a literature search to identify studies on the purpose and benefits of mixed methods.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that MMR provides distinct added value in large-scale evaluation studies.
  • The proposed guideline was found effective in making MMR value claims explicit.

Conclusions:

  • Explicitly articulating the added value of MMR is crucial for its acceptance as a primary research paradigm.
  • The guideline facilitates clearer communication of MMR benefits, promoting methodological learning among researchers.
