Impression of Psychology With hopes of satisfying curiosity, many
people listen to talk-radio counselors and psychics to learn about others and themselves.

The Need for Psychological Science
Intuition & Common Sense
Many people believe that intuition and common sense are enough to bring forth
answers regarding human nature.
Intuition and common sense may aid queries, but they are not free of error.
![Page 9: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Limits of Intuition
Personal interviewers may rely too much on their “gut feelings” when
meeting with job applicants.

Hindsight Bias is the “I-knew-it-all-along” phenomenon.
After learning the outcome of an event, many people believe they could have
predicted that very outcome. We only knew the dot.com stocks would plummet after
they actually did plummet.

Psychological Science
1. How can we differentiate between uniformed opinions and examined conclusions?
2. The science of psychology helps make these examined conclusions, which leads to our understanding of how people feel, think, and act as they do!
![Page 14: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
The Scientific Attitude
The scientific attitude is composed of curiosity (passion for exploration), skepticism
(doubting and questioning) and humility (ability to accept responsibility when wrong).
![Page 15: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Critical Thinking
Critical thinking does not accept arguments and
conclusions blindly.
It examines assumptions,
discerns hidden values, evaluates
evidence and assesses
conclusions.The Amazing Randi

16
Scientific Method
Psychologists, like all scientists, use the scientific method to construct
theories that organize, summarize and simplify observations.
![Page 17: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
A Theory is an explanation that integrates principles and organizes
and predicts behavior or events.
For example, low self-esteem contributes to depression.
Theory
![Page 18: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
A Hypothesis is a testable prediction, often prompted by a theory, to enable us to accept, reject or revise the theory.
People with low self-esteem are apt to feel more depressed.
Hypothesis
![Page 19: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Scientific Method• Theory
– “mere hunch”• Hypothesis
– Can be confirmed or refuted• Operational Definition
• A carefully worded statement of the exact procedures used in a research study
• Replication (repeat)• Repeating the essence of a research study,
usually with different participants to see whether the basic findings extends to others
![Page 20: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Research would require us to administer tests of self-esteem and depression.
Individuals who score low on a self-esteem test and high on a depression test would confirm our hypothesis.
Research Observations
![Page 21: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Research Process
![Page 22: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Experimentation
Like other sciences, experimentation is the backbone of psychology research. Experiments
isolate causes and their effects.
Exploring Cause and Effect
![Page 23: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Many factors influence our behavior. Experiments (1) manipulate factors that
interest us, while other factors are kept under (2) control.
Effects generated by manipulated factors isolate cause and effect relationships.
Exploring Cause & Effect
![Page 24: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
The Hawthorne Effect
• But even the control group may experience changes.
• Just the fact that you know you are in an experiment can cause change
Whether the lights were brighter or dimmer, production went up in the Hawthorne electric plant.
![Page 25: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
An Independent Variable is a factor manipulated by the experimenter. The effect of the independent variable is the focus of the study.
– Ex. If there is a drug in an experiment, the drug is almost always the independent variable.
For example, when examining the effects of breast feeding upon intelligence, breast feeding is the independent variable.
Independent Variable
![Page 26: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
A Dependent Variable is a factor that may change in response to an independent variable. In psychology, it is usually a behavior or a mental process. •The dependent variable would be the effect of the drug.
For example, in our study on the effect of breast feeding upon intelligence, intelligence is the dependent variable.
Dependent Variable
![Page 27: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Confounding Variables
• AKA extraneous variables• They are other things that can affect the
outcome of the experiment.• If I wanted to prove that smoking (A) causes
heart issues (B), what are some confounding variables?
• A confounding variable is anything that could cause change in B, that is not A.
Ex. Lifestyle (overeating), family history may also effect the heart.
Other confounding variables: placebo effect, holidays, time of day…

SurveyA technique for ascertaining the self-reported attitudes, opinions or behaviors of people usually done by questioning a representative, random sample of people. •Most common type of study in psychology
•Measures correlation
•Cheap and fast
•Need a good random sample

Survey
Wording can change the results of a survey.
Q: Should cigarette ads and pornography be allowed on television? (not allowed vs. forbid)

Survey
A tendency to overestimate the extent to which others share our beliefs and behaviors.
False Consensus Effect

Survey
Random Sampling
•If each member of a population has an equal chance of inclusion into a sample, it is called a random sample (unbiased). If the survey sample is biased, its results are not valid.
The fastest way to know about the marble color ratio is to blindly transfer a few into a smaller jar and count them.

35
Naturalistic Observation•Watch subjects in their natural environment.•Do not manipulate the environment.
Ex. Observing and recording the behavior of animals in the wild
Ex. Recording self-seating patterns in a multiracial school lunch room constitute naturalistic observation.

Research Method: CorrelationExpresses a relationship between 2 variables.
When one trait or behavior accompanies another, we say the two correlate.ex. Smoking and lung cancerCorrelation does not necessarily
mean causationCorrelations helps to predict
Correlation coefficient
Indicates directionof relationship
(positive or negative)
Indicates strengthof relationship(0.00 to 1.00)
r = 0.37+
Correlation Coefficient is a statistical measure of the relationship between two
variables.
![Page 38: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
38
Correlation Coefficient
• A number that measures the strength of a relationship.
• Range is from -1 to +1
• The relationship gets weaker the closer you get to zero.
Which is a stronger correlation?
• -.13 or +.38• -.72 or +.59• -.91 or +.04• *** NOTE*** • You will NOT have to
know how to calculate the correlational coefficient! Get this in your Stats class!

Types of Correlation
Positive Correlation• The variables go in
the SAME direction.
Negative Correlation• The variables go in
opposite directions.
Studying and grades hopefully has a positive correlation. Drug use
and grades probably has a negative correlation.

Experimenter Bias
• Another confounding variable
• Not a conscious act• Double-blind procedure
– Neither the participants nor the research assistants collecting the data will know which group is receiving the treatment.
![Page 47: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Statistical Reasoning
Statistics are tools that help us see and interpret what the unaided eye might miss.
![Page 51: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
Describing DataA meaningful description of data is important in research. They are numbers that describe the main characteristics of the data.Misrepresentation may lead to incorrect conclusions.
![Page 52: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
Measures of Central Tendency
A single score that represents a whole set of numbers.
Mode: The most frequently occurring score in a distribution.
Mean: The arithmetic average of scores in a distribution obtained by adding the scores and then dividing by the number of scores that were added together.
Median: The middle score in a rank-ordered distribution.
Watch out for extreme scores and outliers!
![Page 53: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

54
Measures of Variation
Range: The difference between the highest and lowest scores in a distribution.
Standard Deviation: A computed measure of how much scores vary around the mean.
![Page 55: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Standard Deviation
![Page 56: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
Standard Deviation
•Less variability of scores is better than greater variability
•Therefore, if a group of scores has a smaller standard deviation, then you can draw more stable conclusions from the data set.
![Page 57: 1 Thinking Critically with Psychological Science Unit II- Modules 4-8.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051316/56649ea25503460f94ba5787/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
Normal Curve
Most cases fall near the mean and fewer cases fall near either extreme.
Roughly 68% of scores fall within one SD on either side of the mean
About 95% of scores fall within two SD
