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

6-1 Section 6: Introduction to Hypothesis Testing To begin with, recall the ?Helper/Hinderer? study that we looked at on the first day of class: Case Study: Naughty or Nice? We all recognize the difference between naughty and nice, right? What about children less than a year old ? do they recognize the difference and show a preference for nice over naughty? In a study reported in the November 2007 issue of Nature, researchers investigated whether infants take into account an individual?s actions towards others in evaluating that individual as appealing or aversive, perhaps laying for the foundation for social interaction (Hamlin, Wynn, and Bloom, 2007). In one component of the study, 10-month-old

Chapter 12 ?2010, Prentice Hall Organic Chemistry, 7th Edition L. G. Wade, Jr. Infrared Spectroscopy and Mass Spectrometry Chapter 12 * Introduction Spectroscopy is a technique used to determine the structure of a compound. Most techniques are nondestructive (it destroys little or no sample). Absorption spectroscopy measures the amount of light absorbed by the sample as a function of wavelength. Chapter 12 Chapter 12 * Types of Spectroscopy Infrared (IR) spectroscopy measures the bond vibration frequencies in a molecule and is used to determine the functional group. Mass spectrometry (MS) fragments the molecule and measures their mass. MS can give the molecular weight of the compound and functional groups.

Slide * Slide * Section 1 Looking for Laws: The Scientific Approach To Behavior Pages 40 to 45 Learning Objectives 1. Explain science's main assumption and describe the goals of the scientific enterprise. 2. Clarify the relations between theory, hypotheses, and research. 3. Outline the steps in a scientific investigation. 4. Identify the advantages of the scientific approach. Slide * Goals of the Scientific Enterprise Measurement and Description: develop techniques to measure observations clearly and precisely Understanding and prediction: make and test predictions?hypothesis Application and control: use this information to solve everyday problems Page* 40 Slide * The Scientific Method: Terminology

2: Thinking Like an Economist Intro economics can be thought of as a science scientific method: ? the dispassionate development and testing of theories about how the world works: The Economist as Scientist The Scientific Method: Observation, Theory, and More Observation economist can observe whats going on around him, then make theories based on that will collect data from all over to test his theory harder for economists to make experiments, have to just use whats given to them rely strongly on examples in history The Role of Assumptions assumptions can simplify complex ideas and make them easier to understand or give you a better idea of the complex idea different assumptions for different situations short term =prices stay the same long term= prices are flexible
