Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

5.5K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Naturalistic Observations

15.5K
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...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.7K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Framing Effects

7.4K
Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

Bias01:22

Bias

4.3K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

32.0K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Live video interviewing shows minimal interviewer effects, a promising sign for remote data collection. While effects were slightly larger in live video, both methods offer high-quality survey data without in-person contact.

Area of Science:

  • Survey Methodology
  • Communication Technology
  • Data Collection

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the risks of in-person data collection.
  • Live video (LV) communication tools offer cost savings and reduced travel for survey researchers.
  • Remote data collection methods are increasingly important for maintaining research continuity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate interviewer effects in live video (LV) and prerecorded video interviewing.
  • To assess the impact of interviewer-respondent interaction on data quality in remote settings.
  • To provide insights into the methodological considerations of video interviewing for survey research.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental study comparing live video interviewing with prerecorded video interviewing.
  • Analysis of interviewer effects in both remote data collection approaches.
  • Evaluation of respondent-interviewer interaction dynamics in video-based surveys.

Main Results:

  • Little evidence of significant interviewer effects was found in both live video and prerecorded video interviewing.
  • When interviewer effects were present, they were slightly larger in the live video approach.
  • The findings suggest that video interviewing methods can yield high-quality survey data with minimal bias.

Conclusions:

  • Live video and prerecorded video interviewing are viable alternatives to in-person data collection.
  • Interviewer effects pose a minimal threat to data quality in these remote methods.
  • Further research on video interviewing is warranted to optimize its application in survey research.
