Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and the mind. Early approaches included structuralism, which used introspection to study the mind, behaviorism which focused only on observable behavior, and psychoanalytic theory developed by Sigmund Freud which examined the unconscious mind. Descriptive research methods like naturalistic observation, surveys, and case studies describe behavior without explaining it, while experimental methods create conditions to observe, manipulating an independent variable and measuring its effect on a dependent variable. Correlation examines the relationship between naturally occurring variables without manipulation.

Psychology
This document provides an overview of various research methods used in psychology, including experiments, surveys, interviews, questionnaires, case studies, observations, content analysis, and correlation. Experiments involve manipulating a variable under controlled conditions to observe its effects. Surveys can be conducted through interviews, where questions are asked flexibly, or questionnaires with standardized written questions. Case studies provide in-depth analysis of an individual or group. Observations can be overt, with participants aware, or covert without their knowledge. Content analysis objectively summarizes content by quantifying aspects. Correlation research examines relationships between non-manipulated variables.

Psychology 100 Research Design
Psychology uses the scientific method to systematically study behavior and mental processes. The scientific method involves making observations, forming testable hypotheses, collecting data to test hypotheses, and reporting findings. There are four main goals of psychology: describe, explain, predict, and change behaviors. Researchers use a variety of methods including observational, correlational, and experimental studies. Experiments are powerful because they use random assignment to establish cause-and-effect relationships between variables. Strict research protocols are followed to ensure studies are valid, reliable, and ethical.
Psychology
Experimental research in psychology allows researchers to test cause-and-effect relationships by manipulating independent variables and observing their impact on dependent variables. There are various types of experimental designs, including pre-experimental, true experimental, quasi-experimental, and single-subject designs. True experiments employ random assignment and control groups to establish internal validity and draw causal conclusions. Researchers must consider ethical standards to protect participants and ensure research is conducted properly.
Aqa research methods 1
The document discusses the experimental research process. It explains that research starts with an observation or question that leads to the development of a theory and hypothesis. The hypothesis is then tested through an experiment that manipulates an independent variable to measure its effect on a dependent variable, while controlling for other extraneous variables. Different types of experiments and their strengths and weaknesses are described. The key elements of an experimental design, including hypotheses, operationalization of variables, and controlling for confounding variables are also outlined.
Topic 11 Research methods - How do you carry out psychological research?
This document provides information about how to conduct psychological research, including defining key terms and concepts. It discusses:
- Independent and dependent variables - the variable manipulated by the researcher (independent) and the outcome measured (dependent).
- Extraneous variables that could interfere with the study if not controlled, such as situational factors or participant characteristics. Ways to control these include standardizing procedures, counterbalancing, and random assignment.
- Hypotheses for a study, including the null hypothesis which predicts no effect or relationship between variables, versus the alternative hypothesis which predicts an effect or relationship.

The scientific method involves four steps: identifying questions, formulating explanations, conducting research to support or refute explanations, and communicating findings. Psychological research methods include archival research, naturalistic observation, surveys, correlational research, case studies, and experimental research with experimental and control groups, independent and dependent variables, and random assignment.
Research design, laboratory experiment
Extraneous variable: Time of day
How this could have affected the results: If some adults were approached in the morning and others in the afternoon, their ability to accurately recall and identify faces may have been affected by fatigue. Those approached later in the day when tired may have been less accurate in their identification than those approached earlier, thus confounding the results.
Observational Studies and Sampling
This document discusses observational studies and sampling strategies. It explains that the study described, which found girls who ate breakfast were slimmer, was an observational study rather than an experiment since researchers only observed behaviors without imposing treatments. The conclusion of the study was that there is an association between girls eating breakfast and being slimmer. It was sponsored by General Mills. It also outlines different types of sampling strategies like simple random sampling, stratified sampling, and cluster sampling that are used to obtain good samples for statistical analysis in observational studies.
AP Psychology - Research Methods
1) Psychology research aims to understand human behavior scientifically. It relies on empirical research methods to test hypotheses and establish causal relationships.
2) There are several types of descriptive research methods, including case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation. However, these are limited because they cannot prove causation.
3) Experimental methods allow researchers to test hypotheses about cause-and-effect relationships by manipulating the independent variable and measuring its impact on the dependent variable. Control groups help rule out alternative explanations.

It also discusses experimental designs such as laboratory versus field experiments, and threats to validity. Finally, it covers test marketing methods like standard versus control methods and factors to consider in test market selection.
Non expermental research design
This document provides an overview of nonexperimental research design. It begins with definitions of nonexperimental research as research that observes phenomena as they naturally occur without introducing external variables or controlling settings. The document then discusses reasons for using nonexperimental design such as when variables cannot be ethically or practically manipulated. It also outlines various types of nonexperimental research design including surveys, Delphi surveys, correlation design, methodological studies, and comparative studies.
Experimental method
The document discusses the experimental method in psychology. It notes that experimental psychology refers to work done using experimental methods to study psychological processes. Key aspects of the experimental method include: carefully controlling variables through experimental designs; conducting experiments on living organisms with an experimenter and subject; and using techniques like the control-test method, control-group method, and rotation method. The method allows for objective, precise study but can also be time-consuming and not capture all aspects of behavior. Overall, the experimental method is considered the most scientific way to study behavior in psychology.
Research methodology
The document discusses different types of research methods. It defines research as a systematic, scientific effort to gain new knowledge through processes like defining problems, formulating hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data, making deductions, and testing conclusions. Quantitative research is based on measurement and is suited for phenomena that can be expressed numerically using methods like surveys and statistical analysis. Qualitative research seeks in-depth understanding through naturalistic inquiry and methods like interviews. Experimental research strictly follows the scientific method to test hypotheses and determine causal relationships between variables. Nonexperimental research lacks manipulation of variables or random assignment.
Non-Experimental Research Design
This document provides an overview of non-experimental research design. It describes non-experimental design as a method to construct a picture of a phenomenon without manipulating conditions. The document outlines various types of non-experimental design including descriptive, inter-relational, developmental, epidemiological, and survey designs. Key features and examples of each design type are provided.
Psychology Chapter 2
Jane Goodall observed chimpanzees in Tanzania for over 30 years using naturalistic observation. Researchers must decide on a specific question and methodology before beginning research. Samples are small groups of participants studied out of the total population. Common research methods include naturalistic observation, case studies, surveys, longitudinal studies, cross-sectional studies, experiments, and correlations. Ethical issues around animal research have become prominent.
Research Methods in Psychology Sampling and Experimental Design
The document discusses research methods and experimental design. It defines key terms like population, sample, dependent and independent variables. It describes different sampling techniques including random sampling and stratified random sampling. It also explains different experimental designs such as repeated measures design, matched participants design, and independent groups design. The purpose of experimental and control groups is explained as well as the importance of random allocation.
Quantitative Research Methods
This document discusses quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative research involves systematic procedures like questionnaires and scales to measure variables and test relationships between variables statistically. It generally requires large sample sizes to generalize findings to populations. Qualitative research explores human experiences to understand behaviors and interpret their meanings through descriptive, inductive, and interpretive approaches. Both methods are useful for designing studies, reading other research, and gathering related information.
Sampling Errors
This document discusses different types of errors that can occur in survey research. It defines sampling error as occurring when a sample is not truly representative of the population, and notes that sampling error decreases with more homogeneous populations and is eliminated with a census. Total error has two components: sampling error and non-sampling error. Non-sampling error includes errors from non-response, response errors, and researcher errors like incorrectly defining the target population or using a flawed sampling frame. Response errors occur when respondents provide inaccurate answers or their responses are misrecorded or misanalyzed. Researcher errors can also stem from using surrogate information instead of desired data or having measurement errors in question wording or response recording and analysis.
Experimental Psychology
This document discusses survey methodology. It explains that surveys are useful for gathering opinions, attitudes, and behaviors through questionnaires and interviews. The key steps in designing a good survey are to establish clear research objectives, design appropriate survey items and response formats, and use valid sampling methods. Both probability and nonprobability sampling techniques are described. The document emphasizes that survey methodology requires careful planning and execution to obtain valid and reliable data.
Experimental Method of Data Collection
This document discusses various data collection methods used in business research including censuses, surveys, observation, questionnaires, interviews, and case studies. It then focuses on experimental methods, defining independent, dependent, and controlled variables. An experiment aims to test one variable at a time in a fair, unbiased manner by manipulating the independent variable and measuring its effect on the dependent variable while controlling other outside factors. Examples are given of experiments involving puzzle completion times, water temperature at different depths, and taste preferences with varying sugar levels.
Experimental method of Research
This document outlines a presentation on experimental research methods prepared by Group C for Professor Nafiz Zaman Shuva at the University of Dhaka. The presentation highlights the definition of research and experimental methods, the steps of experimental research including identifying a problem, reviewing literature, formulating hypotheses, designing an experiment, collecting and analyzing data, and presenting findings. It also discusses the advantages of experimental research in determining cause-and-effect relationships through manipulation and control of variables, and the disadvantages related to limitations in controlling all variables and generalizing experimental results to real-world settings.

Multimodal Approach for Face Recognition using 3D-2D Face Feature Fusion
This document describes a method for multimodal face recognition using 3D and 2D face features. It extracts features from 3D point cloud data and 2D texture maps using discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) to generate multiple spectral representations of the data. Principal component analysis (PCA) is applied to the spectral representations. Matching scores from the different representations are then fused to improve recognition accuracy compared to using the representations individually. The method is tested on the FRAV3D face database without performing pose correction preprocessing.

This document discusses concepts and measurement in research. It defines key terms like concept, measurement, scale, and index. It explains that a concept needs to be both conceptualized and operationalized for measurement. Conceptualization involves developing a theoretical definition, while operationalization links this to specific measurement procedures through dimensions and elements. An example is provided on operationalizing job satisfaction, including potential dimensions like work, pay, promotion opportunities, and developing survey statements to measure elements of each dimension. Different types of scales are outlined, including nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio scales. Finally, the document distinguishes between a scale, which arranges responses on a continuum, and an index, which combines multiple indicators into a single score.

This document discusses observation as a method in educational psychology. It defines observation as visually examining, describing, and interpreting individuals' and groups' reactions in laboratory, classroom, or other settings. There are three main types of observation discussed:
1. Natural observation involves observing subjects' behaviors and characteristics in natural settings without their awareness.
2. Participant observation involves the observer becoming part of the group being studied, allowing access to situations that may otherwise be closed off.
3. Controlled observation takes place in a controlled environment selected by the researcher, who also standardizes the procedure to control extraneous variables, though this may reduce ecological validity.
Psych 101 - Introduction to Psychology - Lecture 2
This lecture provides an overview of the major research methods used by psychologists in their study of behavior and mental processes.
Chapter 1
Psychology is the scientific study of behavior and mental processes. The goals of psychology are to describe, predict, explain, and control behavior. Early perspectives in psychology included structuralism, functionalism, Gestalt psychology, psychoanalysis, and behaviorism. Modern perspectives include the psychodynamic, behavioral, humanistic, biopsychological, cognitive, sociocultural, evolutionary, and other perspectives.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
