Research methods In a study of parasocial relationships a researcher studied male and female attachments to their favourite film star. An overall attachment score was calculated on the basis of answers to a questionnaire. A high score indicated a strong attachment and a low score indicated little attachment. The scores are shown in Table 1 below. Explain why the data in Table 1 is primary data and not secondary data.[2 marks] Explain one strength of primary data.[3 marks] The researcher decided to extend the study by using an inferential test to see if there was a significant difference between the two sets of scores. Suggest an appropriate inferential test which the researcher could use. Justify your choice.[4 marks]

Research methods SAM1 A psychologist investigating the investment model of relationships, devised a self-report Investment Scale for use with a group of 100 female participants. The scale gave an investment score for each participant on a scale of 0–20, with 0 representing no investment in relationships and 20 representing extreme investment in relationships. The psychologist calculated measures of central tendency for the investment scores. He found that the mean investment score was 8.6, the median investment score was 9.5 and the mode investment score was 13. Sketch a graph to show the most likely distribution curve for the investment scores in this study. Label the axes of your graph and mark on it the positions of the mean, median and mode.[3 marks] Exam tip: Identify the type of skew on the distribution.
