Data Collection by Experiments01:13

Data Collection by Experiments

25.6K
Data collection is a systematic method of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. An experimental study is a standard method of data collection that involves the manipulation of the samples by applying some form of treatment prior to data collection. It refers to manipulating one variable to determine its changes on another variable. The sample subjected to treatment is known as “experimental units.”
An example of the experimental method is a public...

Surveys02:16

Surveys

16.1K
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. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

24.8K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

16.6K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

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.

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

12.7K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Research Methodology
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Online data collection methods offer increased ease and accessibility for developmental research.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of online methods, but their validity beyond social distancing is still explored.
  • Video conferencing enables synchronous, face-to-face interactions, yet uncertainty remains regarding its application and comparability to traditional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address researcher uncertainty regarding the differences and validity of online data collection approaches.
  • To focus on moderated (synchronous) data collection using video-conferencing software.
  • To provide empirical support for the validity of moderated online data collection in developmental science.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing approaches for designing and executing moderated online studies with young children.
  • Presentation of concrete study examples comparing in-person and online moderated data collection for choice, verbal measures, and looking time.
  • Direct comparison of methods within studies and a meta-analysis of all collected data.

Main Results:

  • Direct comparisons within studies indicate comparable results between in-person and online moderated data collection.
  • A meta-analysis of all studies further supports the comparability of online and in-person methods.
  • Empirical evidence validates the use of moderated online data collection for developmental research.

Conclusions:

  • Moderated online data collection using video conferencing is a valid and reliable method for developmental research.
  • Online methods have the potential to significantly increase the accessibility, diversity, and replicability of developmental science.
  • Future research should address current limitations and explore further solutions for online data collection.
