UNIT 2 NOTES: Research Methods The Need for Psychological Science Critical Thinking thinking that does not blindly accept arguments and conclusions examines assumptions discerns hidden values evaluates evidence Three hurdles that tend to skew our logic: Hindsight Bias The tendency to believe, after learning the outcome, that you knew it all along Overconfidence We tend to think we know more than we do The Barnum Effect It is the tendency for people to accept very general or vague characterizations of themselves and take them to be accurate Applied V. Basic Research Applied Research has clear, practical applications. Basic Research explores questions that you may be curious about, but not intended to be immediately used The Scientific Method Theory

Module 33: Genetic and Environmental Influences on Intelligence 33-1 Genetic Influences people who share the same genes also share comparable mental abilities intelligence test scores of identical twins raised together are virtually the same brain scans indicate identical twins have the same gray matter volume adopted children?s intelligence scores become more like those of their biological parents over time and identical twins similarities continue or increase into their 80s. aka genes influence a lot. heritability ? the proportion of variation among individuals that we can attribute to genes. The heritability of a trait may vary, depending on the range of populations and environments studied. If environments become more equal, the heritability of intelligence would INCREASE

Termite

Terman?s ?Termites? were intellectually gifted children, identified by their superior aptitude demonstrated on the Stanford Binet test at the age of 10. The criteria for selection was not random. Students were recommended by teachers and principals. These children were compared with 100 children deemed as having a lesser chance at success in life. This is hailed as the first true longitudinal study. It sought to track the social development of gifted children over a lifetime and, in effect, dispel the stereotype of profoundly gifted children as socially awkward people.

IQ
General Factor

Intelligence Intelligence = ability to learn from experiences. But in research studies, intelligence is what intelligence tests measure. Reification: reasoning error where we view an abstract, immaterial concept as if it were a concrete thing (judging people by their IQ scores). IQ Test, Stanford-Binet Test: mental age divided by real age x 100 Intelligence is always expressed in context (medicine, music, art, warriors) Factor analysis ? a statistical method that identifies a variety of related factors in a test.

Scientific Method Outline

Scientific method - processes by which scientists conduct investigations * There is no one "scientific method". Scientists actually use a variety of techniques to learn more about the world around us. However, many experimental studies would recognize the following steps: A. Statement of the problem B. Hypothesis formation - An "educated guess" C. Experiment 1. experimental group 2. control group D. Collection of data E. Analysis of results F. Conclusion - Reject or accept the hypothesis G. Communication of findings * Considerations pertaining to the scientific method: A. Hypothesis must be testable B. Sample size must be sufficiently large C. Experiment must have proper controls D. Experiment must be reproducible
