Case Studies

12.1K
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.

Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

252
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Structuralism01:26

Structuralism

1.2K
Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.
Titchener's approach to structuralism was unique. He...

Longitudinal Research

12.5K
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...

Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups01:20

Comparing the Survival Analysis of Two or More Groups

297
Survival analysis is a cornerstone of medical research, used to evaluate the time until an event of interest occurs, such as death, disease recurrence, or recovery. Unlike standard statistical methods, survival analysis is particularly adept at handling censored data—instances where the event has not occurred for some participants by the end of the study or remains unobserved. To address these unique challenges, specialized techniques like the Kaplan-Meier estimator, log-rank test, and...

Variability: Analysis01:11

Variability: Analysis

192
Measures of variability are statistical metrics that reveal the dispersion pattern within a dataset. They are pivotal in biostatistics, providing insights into the heterogeneity within health and biological data. Variability signifies the degree to which data points diverge from one another, helping researchers understand the potential range of values and associated uncertainty within the data.
The range is a simple measure of variability, indicating the difference between the highest and...

Area of Science:

  • Management and Organizational Studies
  • Methodology and Research Design

Background:

  • Configurational research in management has advanced understanding of organizational phenomena.
  • Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is a key method but struggles with temporal dynamics.
  • Existing methods lack the ability to capture the temporal evolution of organizational configurations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel method, configurational comparative process analysis (C²PA), for analyzing temporal dynamics in organizational configurations.
  • To present the concepts of configurational themes and configurational matching for empirical analysis.
  • To enable researchers to explore the temporal aspects of configurations, including their stability, emergence, and decline.

Main Methods:

  • Merging Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) with sequence analysis to create C²PA.
  • Introducing 'configurational themes' to identify recognizable temporal patterns.
  • Utilizing 'configurational matching' to distinguish theme-defining from theme-supporting conditions.

Main Results:

  • C²PA effectively captures the temporal dynamics of organizational configurations.
  • The study demonstrates the application of C²PA to shareholder value orientation.
  • Configurational themes and matching provide empirical tools for temporal analysis.

Conclusions:

  • C²PA offers a powerful approach to studying the temporal evolution of organizational configurations.
  • This method addresses a critical limitation in traditional QCA.
  • C²PA has broad potential for advancing management research on dynamic phenomena.
