Stanford Prison Experiment
-Zimbardo became out of hand, he became too involved
-the reality of this prison made people think they were not voluntary in this experiment
-after the experiment a prisoner thought he was a bad person and wanted to go back to make the guards think he was a good person (dehumanizing)

module 8 and ethics worksheet
-Hypothesis is a prediction
-Population (from where) (sub selection)
-DV (measure influenced by IV)
-Confounding variable: OTHER THAN IV
-Evaluation must be specific
Ethical Guidelines
-A subject's participation in research should be voluntary  based on informed consent.
-Subjects should not  be exposed to harmful or dangerous research procedures.
-If an investigation requires some deception of subjects, the researcher is required to explain and correct any misunderstandings (as much information as possible about subjects)
-Subject's right to privacy should never be violated. (confidentiality)
-Harmful or painful procedures imposed upon animals must be thoroughly justified in terms of the knowledge to be gained from the study. Furthermore, laboratory animals are entitled to decent living conditions.

intro to correlation

Paragraph 1
Hypothesis- If the brain is split into 2 separate brains then the patient will not be able to function normally because their brains lack communication
Conducting the study- The study involves taking patients and performing split-brain surgery
Paragraph 2
results from running the study- Researchers found that the left side of the brain is responsible for comprehending language and the right side of the brain is responsible for creativity/ emotions. The split brain surgery may actually be able to split each hemisphere and have them work individually
impact of psychologist research on the field of psychology- People who have experienced the split-brain surgery may have the potential to process twice as much information if the two hemispheres are split.
Paragraph 3
Does the study have both a control group and experimental group?-
This is not an experiment because there is no independent variable that is manipulating something because all the subjects have had the split-brain surgery "four of the patients consented to participate in examination and testing by Sperry and Gazzaniga to determine how their perceptual and intellectual skills were affected as a result of this surgical treatment.(pg.1)"
Paragraph 4
-Does the assigned study follow the ethical guidelines we discussed?

-Must use 2 pieces of evidence from the reading to support your claim
"Research ethics would never allow such drastic methods simply for the purpose of studying the specialized abilities of the brain's two hemispheres."
"In some people with very rare and very extreme cases of uncontrollable epilepsy, seizures could be virtually eliminated by surgically severing the corpus collosum. this operation was(and is) extremely successful, as a last resort, for those patients who cannot be helped by any other means.(pg.1)

Hypothesis- An explanation made on a basis of limited evidence used for a further experiment
Independent variable- the variable that is changed in an experiment (does not depend on another)
Dependable variable- the variable that is being measured in the experiment (depends on another)
Control group- Group that does not receive special treatment
Experimental group- Group that does receive special treatment in the experiment

First point of dissecting the experiment by creating a hypothesis. The hypothesis is a predicted explanation made with limited information about the experiment. If..... then... looking further into our hypothesis the Independent and dependent variables must be identified.

The Independent variable is described as the variable that changes in our experiment, meaning it does not depend on another variable. In this experiment the independent variable is defined as ...
looking for the dependent variable it is shown as the variable that is being measured in the experiment.

In this experiment it is important to identify the control and experimental group. The control group is the group that does not receive any special treatment; however, the experimental group is the group that does receive treatment.

To conclude this experiment it is also important to explain the confounding variable. The confounding variable sums up how each group will be divided and what will be performed in order to determine who will go in what group.

# data[].attributes.body
Theory: Explains behaviors or events by offering ideas that organize what we have observed
Hypotheses: Specify what results would support the theory and what results would doubt the theory
Operational definitions: Report studies("sleep deprived" may be defined as "X hours less" than person's natural sleep.)
replicate: Repeat research (other people can re-create study with different people in different situations
Case Study: examine an individual or group in depth in hope of revealing things true of all of us
Naturalistic Observations: observing and recording behavior in naturally occurring situations without trying to manipulate and control them
Survey: estimate a representative sample of people, the reported behaviors of a whole population
Sampling Bias: to generalize from a few unrepresented cases is nearly irresistible
Population: whole group wants to study and describe
Random Sample: every person in entire group has equal chance of participating
