Randomized Experiments

9.4K
The randomization process involves assigning study participants randomly to experimental or control groups based on their probability of being equally assigned. Randomization is meant to eliminate selection bias and balance known and unknown confounding factors so that the control group is similar to the treatment group as much as possible. A computer program and a random number generator can be used to assign participants to groups in a way that minimizes bias.

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

38.1K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Survival Tree01:19

Survival Tree

504
Survival trees are a non-parametric method used in survival analysis to model the relationship between a set of covariates and the time until an event of interest occurs, often referred to as the "time-to-event" or "survival time." This method is particularly useful when dealing with censored data, where the event has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period, or when the exact time of the event is unknown.

Group Design02:01

Group Design

11.1K
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...

Robbers Cave

15.2K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.

Area of Science:

  • Military Psychology
  • Mental Health Interventions
  • Soldier Well-being

Background:

  • Resilience Training may help reduce mental health issues in military personnel.
  • Initial military training is a critical period for implementing such interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of Resilience Training on US soldiers' well-being and attitudes.
  • To compare Resilience Training with Military History content during Basic Combat Training.

Main Methods:

  • Randomized controlled trial with platoons assigned to Resilience Training or Military History.
  • Surveys administered at baseline, post-intervention, and at 3, 6, and 9 weeks.
  • 1,939 soldiers completed baseline and at least one follow-up survey.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in depression, anxiety, or sleep problems between groups.
  • Anxiety symptom decrease was faster in the Resilience Training group.
  • Resilience Training showed increased confidence in helping others but slower group cohesion development.

Conclusions:

  • Brief Resilience Training may support individual mental health and peer support.
  • The training did not significantly benefit the overall unit climate.
  • Further research may explore optimizing resilience interventions for military settings.
