Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally.

Cross-Sectional Research

12.1K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

13.3K
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Understanding student study habits is crucial for academic success and well-being.
  • The college environment plays a significant role in shaping learning experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the study habits of undergraduate and postgraduate students at Trinity College Dublin.
  • To identify variables influencing student study patterns.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive, cross-sectional anonymous online survey design was employed.
  • Data were collected in April 2019 (Survey 1) and April 2020 (Survey 2) during COVID-19 restrictions.

Main Results:

  • 1557 participants completed Survey 1 and 1793 completed Survey 2.
  • Commonly reported study aids included caffeine, library use, sleep adjustment, and exercise.
  • COVID-19 significantly increased study difficulties (91%), disrupted routine (92%), and heightened stress (75%).

Conclusions:

  • The university environment can be leveraged for interventions promoting healthy study habits and student well-being.
  • Universities face increased demands to support student study habits, especially during global crises like the pandemic.
