Surveys

16.6K
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.

Longitudinal Research

13.1K
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...

Social Loafing

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,...

Factors Affecting Workability01:24

Factors Affecting Workability

296
The workability of concrete is a critical characteristic that influences the ease of mixing, handling, and finishing the concrete. It is affected by several factors including water content, aggregate properties, and admixtures like air entrainment. Water plays a fundamental role as it lubricates the concrete mix, facilitating easier movement and placement. However, the water requirement varies depending on the texture and shape of aggregates. Finer particles and angular, rough-textured...

Factors Influencing Attraction IV: Reciprocity01:28

Factors Influencing Attraction IV: Reciprocity

250
Reciprocity in attraction is fundamental to social and romantic relationships, shaping how individuals form and maintain connections. The psychological principle underlying this phenomenon is that people tend to like those who express liking toward them. Balance theory supports this tendency, suggesting that mutual attraction fosters psychological harmony, whereas one-sided affection leads to discomfort and cognitive dissonance.The Psychological Mechanisms Behind ReciprocityWhen individuals...

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Medical Education Research
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • Research projects (RP) are integral to Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) curricula.
  • Evaluating student perspectives on RPs is crucial for curriculum enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) undergraduate student views on a mandatory research project (RP) at Cardiff University.
  • To identify factors influencing student satisfaction and perceived benefits of the RP.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous cross-sectional survey was administered to 4th and 5th-year BDS students.
  • The survey included Likert-scale items, a satisfaction score, and free-text responses.
  • Statistical analysis (multiple linear regression, t-tests, Cronbach's alpha) and thematic analysis were performed.

Main Results:

  • Students generally reported a positive experience with the RP, noting improvements in research skills.
  • Satisfaction was positively correlated with student input, understanding of the RP's purpose, perceived skill enhancement, and preparedness.
  • Challenges included balancing the RP with clinical responsibilities and supervisor interaction timing.

Conclusions:

  • The research project is viewed favorably by BDS students, particularly when they feel prepared and perceive skill development.
  • Recommendations for improvement include adjusting timelines and considering group project formats.
  • Further research should explore optimal RP structures within dental curricula.
