1 PSYC 335 Developmental Psychology I Session 2 Research methods and ethical issues in Developmental Psychology Lecturer: Dr. Joana Salifu Yendork Department of Psychology Contact Information: jyendork@ug.edu.gh College of Education School of Continuing and Distance Education 2014/ /2017 godsonug.wordpress.com/blog
2 Session Overview The issues to be discussed in this course are backed by research and as a result, it is important to understand relevant research methods and designs that are appropriate for developmental Psychology research. In this session, the focus will be on the various research methods used for collecting data, research designs for studying changes in human development and ethical issues in developmental research. Slide 2
3 Session Outline The key topics to be covered in the session are as follows: Research methods in Developmental Psychology Research Research designs in Developmental Psychology Research Ethical issues in Developmental Psychology Research Slide 3
4 Reading List Read Chapter 1 developmental psychology: childhood and adolescence, Shaffer & Kipp (2014) and Chapter 1 of development through the lifespan, Berk (2006) Slide 4
5 Topic One RESEARCH METHODS IN DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH Slide 5
6 Research methods used in Developmental Psychology research Development Psychology use the scientific method Scientific method use objective and replicable methods to gather data for the purpose of testing a theory or hypothesis Objective: similar conclusion by different researchers who examines the data Replicability: every time the method is used, it results in the same data and conclusions Scientific method involves a process of generating ideas and testing them The observations from the scientific method is used to formulate theory and hypothesis Slide 6
7 Methods for gathering data Self-report methods: Interviews, questionnaires/surveys, clinical method Observation Case study Ethnography Psychophysiological methods Slide 7
8 Self-report: interviews & questionnaires The researcher ask participants series of questions about aspects of development Questionnaires: questions are on paper and participants are required to respond in writing Interviews: require participants to respond orally to the iŷǀ estigatoƌ s Ƌueƌies Structured/semi-structured interviews Limitations: CaŶ t ďe used ǁ i th ǀ eƌljljouŷg ĐhildƌeŶ ǁho ĐaŶŶot ƌead oƌ comprehend speech very well Social desirability Age-related interpretations might be biased Conflict among different informants Slide 8
9 Self-report: Clinical method Participants are presented with a task and then invite a response. After the participant responds, the investigator typically asks a seđoŷd ƋuestioŶ oƌ iŷtƌoduđes a Ŷeǁ task to ĐlaƌifLJthe paƌtiđipaŷt s original answer. The follow-up ƋuestioŶ is deteƌŵiŷed ďljthe paƌtiđipaŷt s ƌespoŷse to the initial question Emphasis is place on the uniqueness of each participant Good for large data in relatively short time Limitations: Difficult for comparing participants PoteŶtial iŷflueŷđe of the edžaŵiŷeƌ s pƌe-existing theoretical biases on follow-up questions asked and the interpretation provided. Slide 9
10 Observation Naturalistic observation observing people in their common, everyday (that is, natural) surroundings Suitable for infants and toddlers: since they cant communicate verbally and also eliminated the bias of parents informants Give the true nature of the participants without relying on their self-report accuracy. Limitations: Not applicable to every situation such as some behaviors occur so infrequently (eg, heroic rescues) or are so socially undesirable (eg, criminal acts) Simultaneous events that makes it difficult to pinpoint the causes of a particular action Observer influence Slide 10
11 Observation Structured observation Participant is exposed to a setting that might cue the behavior in question and is then secretly observed (via a hidden camera or through a one-way mirror) Ensure that every participant in the sample is exposed to the same eliciting stimuli and has an equal opportunity to perform the target behavior circumstances that are not always true in the natural environment Limitation: Participants may not behave the same way as they would in their natural environment Slide 11
12 Case study Using self-report or observation to compile of detailed information about an entity, an individual or a group of people Limitations: Difficult to directly compare participants who have been asked different questions, taken different tests, and been observed under different circumstances Lack generalizability: conclusions drawn from the experiences of the small number of individuals studied may simply not apply to most people Slide 12
13 Ethnography For understanding the effects of culture on developing children and adolescents Data collected is typically diverse and extensive Rich understanding of the cultures traditions and values Limitations: HighlLJsuďjeĐtiǀ e ŵethod ďeđause ƌeseaƌđheƌs o ǁ Ŷ cultural values and theoretical biases can cause them to misinterpret what they have experienced Lacks generalizability Slide 13
14 Psychophysiological method Measure the relationship between physiological responses and behavior to explore the biological underpinnings of ĐhildƌeŶ s peƌđeptual, ĐogŶitiǀ e, aŷd eŵotioŷal ƌespoŷses Useful for interpreting the mental and emotional experiences of infants and toddlers who are unable to report such events Limitations Though very useful, they are not perfect indicators of psychological states. Changes in physiological responses often reflect mood swings, fatigue, hunger, or even negative reactions to the physiological recording equipment, rather than a change in the iŷfaŷt s atteŷtioŷ to a stiŵulus oƌ eŵotioŷal ƌeađtioŷs to it Slide 14
15 Topic Two RESEARCH DESIGNS IN DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH Slide 15
16 Designs for detecting relationships Correlational Experimental Cross-cultural Slide 16
17 Correlational design The investigator gathers information to determine whether two or more variables of interest are meaningfully related. No attempts are made to structure or to manipulate the paƌtiđipaŷts eŷǀiƌoŷŵeŷt iŷ aŷljǁ alj The presence (or absence) of a relationship between variables can be determined by examining the data with a statistical procedure that yields a correlation coefficient (direction, strength) Limitation: cannot determine causal relationships due to the influence of extraneous variables Slide 17
18 Experimental design Allows the assessment of the cause-and-effect relationship that may exist between two variables Eg. Watching violent movies causes aggressive inclinations in children. True experiment and quasi-experiment Lab experiment: participants are brought to the lab, expose to different treatments (Independent Variable, IV) and record their responses to these treatments as data (Dependent Variable, DV) Confounding variables: are controlled through random assignment Limitations: Laboratory: tightly controlled laboratory environment that is often artificial Conclusions drawn do not always apply to the real world. Slide 18
19 Experimental design Field experiment: experiment in the natural setting, ŵostlljǁithout paƌtiđipaŷts kŷoǁledge Quasi experiment: used for situations where experimental design cant be applied or for ethical reason, IV cannot be controlled and no random assignment Pre-existing groups are used. Eg. The effect of traumatic experiences (June 3 rd flood) on well-being. Slide 19
20 Cross-cultural design Cross-cultural studies: participants from different cultural or sub-cultural backgrounds are observed, tested, and compared on one or more aspects of development. Helps to determine cultural differences or similarities in development Slide 20
21 Designs for studying development across time Cross-sectional design Longitudinal design Sequential design Slide 21
22 Cross-sectional design Different age cohorts are studied at the same point in time Age-related changes in development Data can be collected from children of different ages over a short time Limitations: Cohort effects: changes might not be due to age or development but other cultural or historical factors Unable to inform about the development of individuals because each person is observed at only one point in time Slide 22
23 Longitudinal design The same participants are observed repeatedly over a period of time. Identify normative developmental trends and processes by looking for commonalities Tracking of several participants over time will help investigators to understand individual differences in development Limitations: Can be very costly and time-consuming; Practice effects (familiarity with test items) can also threaten the validity of longitudinal studies; Problem with selective attrition Slide 23
24 Sequential design Participants in different ages are studied over time Draw the strength of both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs Allows researchers to make both longitudinal and cross-sectional comparisons in the same study Often more efficient than standard longitudinal designs Slide 24
25 Topic Three ETHICAL ISSUES IN DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH Slide 25
26 Ethical issues in development research Rights of research participants Must meet standards of the research ethics committees Protection from mental and physical harm Informed consent from parents and legal guardians and informed assent from children Confidentiality Debriefing (after the study discuss purpose of research and method used) Deception (is used, ensure deception with no harm) Slide 26
27 Sample Questions Differentiate between research methods and research designs used in Developmental Psychology research. Describe three research methods used in Developmental Psychology research. Describe three designs used for studying development across time Slide 27
