Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.8K
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 Research

23.0K
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.

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

11.3K
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...

Group Design02:01

Group Design

8.9K
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...

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

16.0K
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...

  • Undergraduate research programs

Background:

  • Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) are vital for aspiring scientists.
  • REUs offer mentorship and skill development, fostering scientific identity.
  • Navigating REU applications can be challenging for first-generation and low-income (FLI) students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a two-fold guidance for undergraduate students interested in REUs.
  • To demystify the REU application process for students.
  • To guide students on what to expect during and after an REU program.

Main Methods:

  • The paper offers 10 rules for guidance.
  • Rules 1-5 cover the application process.
  • Rules 6-10 guide students post-application.

Main Results:

  • This resource aids students considering or accepted into REUs.
  • It supports faculty, staff, and mentors working with undergraduates.
  • The guidance aims to ease the REU participation journey.

Conclusions:

  • This paper serves as a comprehensive resource for REU participants and mentors.
  • It addresses the specific needs of first-generation and low-income students.
  • Successful navigation of REUs can enhance STEM career pathways.
