Primary Data correct answers Information researchers gather themselves
Primary Data: Evaluate correct answers + Researchers know the data is reliable
- Gathering primary data is more time consuming
Secondary Data correct answers Evidence that has been gathered by other researchers
Longitudinal Studies correct answers A research method that studies the same participants
multiple times over a period of time
Compares a single group with their own performance
Longitudinal Studies: Evaluate correct answers + Patients often have different symptoms when
suffering the same illness, there is no difficulty in making comparisons between different people
that could be affected by individual differences
- The patient may drop out, die, or not be able to be contacted, which reduced the sample size
and makes the outcome less valid
- By the time meaningful data can be used to draw conclusions, the data may be irrelevant
,Cross-Sectional Studies correct answers A study in which people of different ages are compared
with one another
Cross-Sectional Studies: Evaluate correct answers + Data is quick to gather, so conclusions can
be drawn faster
+ Results will be valid as results will be reported at the time they happened
- The comparisons being made will be between different groups of people, so individual
differences will effect the conclusions
Cross-Cultural Methods correct answers Testing predictions about universality
Looking at a particular behaviour or pattern of thinking between different cultures
Cross-Cultural Methods: Evaluate correct answers + Researchers gain an understanding of the
role culture plays in validity and reliability
+ Reduced the level of ethnocentrism in psychology - improving generalisability
Meta-Analysis correct answers A "study of studies" that combines the findings of multiple
studies to arrive at a conclusion
Meta-Analysis: Evaluate correct answers
Case Study correct answers Have an idiographic approach, which means focusing in detail on a
topic and on individuals
Gather mainly qualitative data
Triangulation can be used to look for reliability and validity, which adds credibility
Case Study: Evaluate correct answers + More than one way of collecting data, triangulation can
be used to test reliability and validity and show credibility in findings
+ Case studies can look at rare situations and individuals where samples of such individuals are
going to be difficult to find
- Focuses on one individual or small group which means that generalising the findings to others
is not really possible, so sample is limited and not going to represent wider population
- Carried out by one researcher or small team and will get to know the subject very well, which
means there could be subjectivity in the data gathered and it may be affected by the researcher's
input
, Case Study: Example - Lavarenne correct answers Lavarenne et al - Containing psychotic
patients with fragile boundaries
Group of 6 out-patients, that suffered from various types of schizophrenia and had fragile Ego
boundaries, that attended a 45 minute session.
Fragile Ego boundaries - A breakdown in the line that people draw between the real and the
unreal
The sessions were coded immediately after.
Members include:
- Brett
- Earl
- Deena
- Dan
- Dillon
- Andy
Conclusion - Each group member struggles daily with the environmental, social and biological
factors in their schizophrenia
Case Study: Example - Lavarenne Evaluation correct answers + Case studies such as Lavarenne
are used in clinical psychology to help the patient or client in difficulty
+ Interrater reliability is used as 3 researchers did coding
- Low generalisability as small groups (6) lack representativeness for target population
Interviews correct answers Structured Interview - Set questions to ask
Semi-Structured Interview - Some predetermined questions, some developed as goes along
Unstructured Interviews - No predetermined questions
Interviews: Evaluate correct answers + Qualitative data, in depth and detailed, allows for
elaboration gaining rich detail
+ Flexibility, allows for more detail as they can use follow up questions
- Subjectivity, open to interpretation, researcher effects, could fit data with what they want to
find
- Social desirability and demand characteristics, biases could arise
Interviews: Example - Valentine correct answers Studied usefulness of psych-education within
group group work for offender patients in a high-security forensic hospital
