Techniques of mindomo

correlation

limitation

does not tell researchers whether or not the relationship is causal. In other words, correlation does not, cannot, prove causation.

Strengths

etermine if there is a relationship between two variables without having to directly manipulate those variables. moreover, used as a basis for prediction

on experimental discriptive method, it measures the relation bet 2 or more variables or behavior

survey

Subtopic

when answering a questions,one's memory can fail him and also the misunderstanding of the question affects the survey

it is useful when having a survey on behavior attitude that can't be observed directly

it is a type of non-experimental study. it is mainly about doing interviews and questionnairs that consists of multiple choice questions and short essays

experimantal

: location of memory in birds

a- only used when it is practical and ethical b-artificial conditions used differ from real nature

strengths

detects cause-and-effect relationships

manipulating a variable under controlled conditions then observing changes

case study

example

Would a nocturnal (active at night) animal know when it was time to be active even if there where no external indicators of night vs day??

limitations

Descriptive methodInvolves single individuals or few Social science: rely on different information

strength

Gives detailed appropriate view of individual’s lifeSocial science: understand social and familiar factors Natural science: study single animal or instantUseful when experiment can’t be done

Description.

Non-experimentalInvolves in-depth descriptive kept by out observer( individual or group of individuals)Social science this involves collecting, examining..etc (biographical data, medical records,..etc.)Natural science requires detailed investigation

naturalistic observation

strenghts

Behavior can only be described, not explained.

limitaions

allows researchers to observe behavior in the setting in which it normally occurs rather than the artificial and limited setting of the laboratory.

description

observes and records some behavior or phenomenon, sometimes over a prolonged period, in its natural setting.
