  4. Experimental method: A quasi/natural experiment that contained observations What is the observational method? Strengths: Limitations:

  5. Sample Strengths: Limitations:

  6. Types of data: Quantitative

  7. Quantitative data • Strengths in relation to this study • Limitations in relation to this study

  8. Types of data: Qualitative

  9. Qualitative data • Strengths in relation to this study • Limitations in relation to this study

  10. Self-report measures What are these? How were they used in this study?

  11. Advantages and disadvantages of self-report measures • Advantages: • Limitations:

  12. Ethical issues

  13. Reliability The content analysis was developed and applied by Griffiths. There was low inter-rater reliability from other raters. What does this mean in relation to the study?

  14. Ecological validity What is ecological validity? Does this study have or lack ecological validity? Why?

  15. Generalisability of findings

  16. Confounding variables These are extraneous variables that have not been controlled for and may therefore have impacted on the dependent variable. Here a confounding variable was that the verbalisations were categorised and transcribed by someone who was not blind to the hypotheses. What is a double blind and how does it impact ona study?

  17. Usefulness of the research

  18. Describe one change you would make to the study and outline the implications of this change

  19. TASK: In pairs: Write a letter to Mark Griffiths outlining the strengths and weaknesses of his research and what the implications of these were.
