there are several characteristics of a good scientist that we should try to emulate in our
research. For example _____ involves allowing the scientific process to be independent

a researcher would like to see if face to face interactions stimulate more happiness than
social interactions done through video chap and whether this differs by gender. the
research predicts that males would report more happiness following a face to face
interaction than a skype interaction but no difference for females is anticipated.
Participants are asked to talk to a stranger about where they would like to vacation.
Some did this on skype and others fif it in person. The method of the chat is determined
through random assignment. After 10 min of chatting participants complete a 10
question self report what is the iv and qiv
iv= method of chat
q iv= participants gender
to study the effects of type of stimulus on memory recall, hayden has participants
receive either an auditory or visual presentation of a poem. After participants are asked
to answer several questions about the poem. What type of design is this?
between subjects
elliot is applying to a job. He believes that his leadership abilities are well above those of
a typical applicant. However, when the interviewer asks Elliot to provide examples of
times when he was a good leader, he can't think of any. Why might this be?
better- than- average effect
even after all of his arguments are refuted by his roommate, lewis still proclaims that
everyone is entitled to their own opinion and he refuses to change his. What is his flaw
in thinking?
belief perseverance
which principle of the belmont report emphasizes the need to give all participants
informed consent, meaning you tell them what to expect from the study, and they can
back out at any time
respect for persons
, presenting participants with a false purpose for a study or providing false feedback
during the study are examples of _____. To minimize the risk of doing this, we need to
_______, or inform participants at the end of the study about the tru purpose of the
study and why the misleading information was necessary
deception, debrief
the milgram obedience study caused psychological distress in several participants.
Because the researchers failed to find ways to appropriately reduce this risk to
participants, they violated which ethical principle of the belmont report?
non- maleficence
availability heuristic
estimating the likelihood of events based on their availability in memory; if instances
come readily to mind (perhaps because of their vividness), we presume such events are
common
representativeness heuristic
judging the likelihood of things in terms of how well they seem to represent, or match,
particular prototypes; may lead us to ignore other relevant information
better than average effect
the finding that most people think they are above average on various personality trait
and ability dimensions
confirmation bias
a tendency to search for information that supports our preconceptions and to ignore or
distort contradictory evidence
pleasure paradox
when an introspective analysis regarding a positive experience results in it becoming
less enjoyable
belief perseverance
clinging to one's initial conceptions after the basis on which they were formed has been
discredited
characteristics of a good scientist: skepticism
-questioning commonly held beliefs
-not accepting claims without solid evidence
characteristics of a good scientist: open mindedness
-avoid being overly critical; accept science with minor flaws or progress can't be made
- being open to pursue unpopular ideas
characteristics of a good scientist: objectivity
-pursuing research questions with minimal bias
- accepting evidence that doesn't align with your own experiences
characteristics of a good scientist: empiricism
- gaining knowledge through the systematic use of observation, prior research, and
precise measurement
- testing your research questions in a valid, accurate way
characteristics of a good scientist: creativity
-developing novel, innovative research questions- identifying in an accurate ways to
measure something that hasn't been examined before
