Correlation: relationship

Positive Correlation (+1): The more I study, the better the grade I have
Negative Correlation (-1): The less I work, the less money I get
Zero (0): None

-More effort, better grades (Positive)
-Not exercising, more unhealthier (Negative)
-More chitchatting, more focused (Zero)

9/8: Why ethical guidelines are valuable in Psychology:

I learned that ethical principles are important because every person deserves their rights. It was unfair and inhumane to punish all the prisoners, rather than just the one prisoner. The researcher got too involved in the experiment.

9/7: I can understand how to follow ethical guidelines:

# data[].attributes.body
-A subject's participation in research should be voluntary and 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 soon as possible
-Subject's rights to privacy should never be violated (confidentiality)
-Harmful/painful procedures imposed upon animals must be justified in terms of knowledge to b gained from the study. Furthermore, lab animals are entitled to decent living conditions

# data[].attributes.body
-Descriptive Statistics: numerical data used to measure and describe characteristics of groups
-Histogram: a bar graph depicting a frequency distribution
-Mode: most frequently occurring score
-Mean: average calculated by adding all the scores and dividing by the number of the scores
-Median: the middle number in the distribution
-Skewed: a representation of scored that lack symmetry around their average value
-Range: the difference between the highest and lowest score
-Standard Deviation: a completed measure of how much scores vary around the mean score
-Normal Curve: a bell-shaped curve that describes the distribution
-Statistically Significant: how likely it is that an obtained result occurred by chance
-Inferential Studies: help determine if results can be generalized to a larger population
-Correlation: measure of the extent to which 2 variables change together, and thus of how well either variable predicts the other
-Correlation Coefficient: a statistical index of the relationship between 2 variables (from +1.0 to -1.0)
-Scatterplot: a graphed cluster of dots which helps determine correlations
-Positive Correlation: 2 variables rise/fall together
-Negative Correlation: 1 variable rises as the other falls
-Illusory Correlations: perception of a relationship where none exists or random events that we notice falsely assume are related
-Placebo Effect: experimental results caused by the experiment alone
-Double-Blind Procedure: an experimental procedure used to avoid the placebo effect
-Random Assignment: used to minimize preexisting differences between the different groups by assigning participants to experimental and control groups by chance
-Validity: extent to which a test/experiment measures/predicts what it is supposed to

-Longitudinal Study: A study over time
-Attrition: The drop-out rate

-Describe and apply the steps of the scientific method
-Identify the independent and dependent variables
-IV: the variable which is being manipulated
-DV: the variable which is influenced by the IV
-Confounding/Extraneous/Third: influences the DV without your     knowledge; ex. the kids could be hungry so, she couldn't control herself when eating the marshmallow; Variable other than IV
-Understand how to create my own experiment and identify variables

--Current Perspectives:

-Behavioral Psychology: the scientific study of observable behavior, and its explanation by principles of learning
- Biological Psychology: the scientific study of the links between biological (genetics, neutral, hormonal) and psychological processes
-Cognitive Psychology: the scientific study of all the mental activities associated with thinking, knowing, remembering, and communicating
-Evolutionary Psychology: the study of the evolution if behavior and mind, using principles natural selection
-Psychodynamic Psychology: a branch of psychology that studies how unconscious drives and conflicts influence behavior, and uses that information to treat people with psychological disorders
-Social-Cultural Psychology: the study of how situations and cultures affect our behavior and thinking

--Historically Influential Perspectives:
-Humanistic Approach

-DEFINE & APPLY (Factual Based)
-Easier in chronological order
-Write legibly
-Answer the question
-Be specific; Use evidence and examples
-name all perspective on my 10 fingers

-Empiricism: The idea that what we know comes from experience, and that science should, therefore, rely on observation & experimentation.
-Structuralism: to use self-reflective introspection (looking inward) to learn about the mind's structure.
-Functionalism: the exploration of how mental and behavioral processes function.
-Experimental Psychology:  the study of behavior and thinking using the experimental method.
-Behaviorism: The view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes.
-Humanistic Psychologists: a historically significantly perspective that emphasized the growth potential of healthy people.
-Cognitive Neuroscience: an interdisciplinary study that has enriched our understanding of the brain activity linked with cognition (ex. perception, thinking, memory, and language)
