Why doesn't bandits count?? In all my revision I've used it I know it's an experiment but it still uses observation

Why doesn't bandits count?? In all my revision I've used it I know it's an experiment but it still uses observation

So did i idk what to use now :/ it doesnt count because its not acc observation - he manipulates IV and DV

Hi I'm not sure if this has been asked but:
I know you can be asked to do a correlation in section A but can they put correlation in section B? And has it ever come up in section B before?

guys how would you answer this section a? http://www.ocr.org.uk/Images/144713-question-paper-unit-g544-01-approaches-and-research-methods-in-psychology.pdf

how would you make sure you observed the same people and it was natural and ethical?

So a structured questionnaire is where the observers note down behaviour according to their coding system i.e. looks up, touches hair etc.. and because it says an event sample you need to record the data every time it happens. So you could do this by observing a classroom full of students but gain their consent however not informing them about the true aim till the end of the experiment. So that way they know they are taking part in an experiment, but don't know if they are being observed making it a covert observation also. This was it is natural and although their are some ethical guidelines being broken, but no psychology experiment is completely ethical.

Hope that helps!

Ah thank you! And i guess for ethics i could just debrief them again at the end and give them the right to withdraw their data?

Guys, can you say the behaviourist perspective is holistic, because it includes three ways in which behaviour is influenced/ leant- classical conditioning, operant and social learning through( imitation) ?????

Nooo, it would still be reductionist because those are all learning processes. It doesn't take into account things such as biology or individual differences

Ohh rightt ... which approach is seen as holistic then???

Individual differences! Because it looks at all characteristics in individuals that can cause behaviour - e.g with eve, they looked at her pastt experinences, gave her psychometric tests, and eeg tests which are physiological so they looked at all aspects that could cause her behaviour rather than reducing it down to just one factor - say biology

Could you also say cognitive is holistic as it looks at internal mental processes but also external situations which affect these internal processes like in a cognitive explanation for depression the event has an effect on the processing (the cognitions) and the outcome (the feelings of depression)??
