focus groups
structured interview that has multiple participants that are interviewed simaltaneously, interviewer acts as a facilitator and participants interact with each other
strucutured oberservations
observations are recorded in a systematic and standarized way
unstructured obersvations
researcher only record observations that they think are significant
laboratory observations
observaetions in a controlled environment
naturalistic observations
observations in a natural setting
overt observations
participants are informed that they are being observed
covert observations
participants are not informed that they are being observed
participant observations
the researcher/observer joins the group that they are observing and observes them from the inside
case study
the in-depth investigation of a single person (usually only one for psych) or organization
external validitiy
can teh findings be generalized to a larger population
generalizability
how much the determined relationship applies in another context
ecological validity
where the study was conducted in the environment or lab
mundane realism
how much the procedures and materials reflect the real world
temporal validity
how much results apply to a different time period
population validitiy
how well characteristics of sample show the population.
informed consent
participants must give their permission to be in the study
anonymity & confidentiality
no one outside the experiment should know names or personal information of participants/ they should remain anonymous
right to withdraw
participants have the right to leave the experiment at any time

internal validity
whether or not the experiment is testing what it is supposed to be testing
credibility (trustworthiness)
how much the results truly reflect the phenomenon under investigation
reflexivity
how biases could influence research and how they were avoided
method triangulation
different methods are used in the same study
data triangulation
data is compared from multiple source
researcher triangulation
more than one researcher collects and analyzes the data
reliability
extent to which the results were similar when the test was repeated
test-retest reliability
a study gets the same results over multiple replications
