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. 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.

Accessory Structures of the Eye

Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...

Naturalistic Observations

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...

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

1.7K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

Area of Science:

  • Optometry education
  • Cultural safety in healthcare
  • Indigenous health outcomes

Background:

  • Healthcare practitioners need cultural safety training to provide equitable eye care to Indigenous Peoples.
  • Culturally safe care necessitates critical reflection on unconscious biases and power dynamics in optometry.
  • Curricular revisions in a Canadian Doctor of Optometry program focused on enhancing cultural safety in clinic experiences.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine optometry learners' feedback on curricular changes aimed at improving cultural safety.
  • To assess the effectiveness of cultural safety training in optometry education.
  • To identify areas for improvement in teaching culturally safe eye care.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous online survey was administered to 178 optometry learners in clinic experience courses.
  • The survey assessed understanding of cultural safety, comfort with self-reflection, and perceived effectiveness of patient-centered care training.
  • Data analysis included descriptive statistics and content analysis of open-ended responses.

Main Results:

  • Thirty-three surveys were completed, with positive feedback on the value of cultural safety training.
  • Learners reported increased comfort with self-reflective activities and made connections to societal issues and bias.
  • Suggested improvements included more observation, cross-curricular scaffolding, and inclusion of Indigenous knowledge and anti-racism literature.

Conclusions:

  • Optometry learners responded favorably to the integration of cultural safety concepts in their education.
  • Feedback indicates a need to deepen course content and enhance collaboration with Indigenous Peoples in curriculum development.
  • Further integration and refinement of cultural safety training are recommended for improved optometric practice.
