There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

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.

Persuasion Strategies

Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

34.6K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Cognitive Dissonance

32.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Students often maximize assignment flexibility by submitting work just before deadlines, rather than using the extra time to manage unique schedules. This finding impacts understanding of flexible learning environments.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Pedagogy in Higher Education

Background:

  • Current pedagogical trends emphasize student autonomy through assignment flexibility.
  • Potential benefits like increased learning and stress reduction are proposed but not empirically validated.
  • A gap exists in understanding how students actually utilize extended assignment submission times.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between assignment submission flexibility and student behavior.
  • To determine how students leverage extended deadlines in post-secondary education.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative analysis of student assignment submission patterns.
  • Data collected across various assignment types and teaching modalities.

Main Results:

  • Most students consistently submitted assignments close to the deadline, regardless of assignment type, modality, or availability duration.
  • Student behavior indicated adaptation to deadlines rather than proactive schedule management.
  • No evidence suggests students used flexibility to accommodate individual scheduling needs.

Conclusions:

  • Assignment submission flexibility does not appear to be utilized by most students to manage personal schedules.
  • Student behavior suggests a tendency to procrastinate until immediately before the deadline.
  • Further research is needed to align pedagogical intentions with student utilization of flexible learning structures.
