could someone briefly describe the procedure for Dement and kleitman please?? what I have is too long :/ and the research method was self report right??

could someone briefly describe the procedure for Dement and kleitman please?? what I have is too long :/ and the research method was self report right??

it was lab experiment, using self-report to collect data.

procedure:
participants asked to astain from alcohol/caffeine on day of experiment
asked to report to the lab around their usual bedtimes
electrodes attached to their scalp (EEG) and around their eyes (EOG)
they were then awoken randomly either during REM sleep or NREM sleep, 5 mins into REM sleep or 15 mins into REM sleep
they were then asked to report into a recording device of... a: whether they could recall a dream or not. b: whether they believe they had been sleeping for 5 or 15 minutes. c: the content of the dream

a relates to hypothesis 1
b to hypothesis 2
and c to hypothesis 3

Participants were asked not to consume caffeine or alcohol during the day preceding the experiment. They arrived at the sleep lab in time for their normal bed time. Electrodes were placed on the scalp to measure brain activity and near the eyes to measure eye movement. The P's then went to a dark quiet room to go to sleep. At various times during the night the P was awoken by a doorbell, and asked to recall their dream if they had been dreaming, and they were also asked about the length of their dream. They spoke into a tape recorder.

What would you say the quantitative data was in Reicher and Haslam because it said both the qualitative and quantitative was used??? This has been asked before lool thank you for your answers!

you know the hypotheses for dement and kleitman, does anyone have the results that supports them please?

Quantitative data included daily psychometric tests to measure social variables, organisational variables and clinical variables additionally a physiological test for stress levels was administered daily by taking saliva swabs from each P.

i do,

Hypothesis 1:
 for all participants, there was a high incidence of recall of dreaming during REM periods, and a low incidence of recall during NREM periods
 supports hypothesis 1
Hypothesis 2:
 participants were awoken after 5 or 15 minutes of REM activity and were asked how long they had been dreaming
 there were more correct answers than wrong answers
 supports hypothesis 2
Hypothesis 3:
 3 vertical eye movements: looking up a cliff, looking up and down a ladder, looking up to a basketball net
 1 horizontal eye movement: watching two people throw tomatoes at each other
 Both vertical and horizontal eye movements: looking at something up close, e.g. talking to people
 Little or no movement: looking at something in the distance or at a fixed point


basically, use this resource i created! way easier.

your notes were really helpful! Thank you ever so much!!

Oh that's a good combination, the psychodynamic perspective believes that all behaviour derives from inner conflicts of the mind so you could say in Piliavin when the victim is on the floor, people are in a conflict with themselves on whether to help the victim or just to walk by. Also in Piliavin there is the 'Cost of helping', 'Cost of not helping', 'Rewards of helping' and 'Rewards if not helping'- ie the Cost-Reward Model. In terms of the psychodynamic approach you could say that the cost-reward model intertwines with the psychodynamic idea of ID, EGO and SUPEREGO the three parts of our mind that are always in conflict and tries to balance our conscience.

Piliavin isn't a psychodynamic study it's a behaviourist study. All of the social approach studies (piliavin, reicher and haslam and milgram) are behaviourist as well as savage rumbaugh, bandura and griffiths.

Thigpen and Cleckley, Freud and possibly rosenhan are psychodynamic
