How do developmental scientists study people? What are some advantages and disadvantages of each research method?
- Developmental scientists study people through the use of the scientific method. They identify the problem, observe related variables, and collect data needed to reach a conclusion about what is being addressed. They follow a 5 step method:
1. researching the topic.
2. create a hypothesis.
3. test the hypothesis.
4. make a conclusion based on the data.
5. make the results available to others.(this step allows for checks and balances.)
- Major elements of the social sciences are shared in the scientific method, it is more commonly used. It allows for a statement produced through a logical and systematic way.
-Random selection can ensure to result in a generalization.
Question #2.
What ethical problems may arise in research with humans? 
- risk of harm
- issues regarding consent
- anonymity
- avoiding deception
- providing the right to withdraw ]]> 2017-03-22 02:37:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/d_oh/wish/161699680 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/d_oh/wish/161700850 Question ]]> 2017-03-22 02:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/d_oh/wish/161700850 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/d_oh/wish/161700851 Question #1.

What purposes do theories serve?
- The purpose of a theory is to explain data and help generate a hypothesis that can be tested by research.
Question #2.
 What are two (2) theoretical issues on which developmental scientists differ? 
- They differ on nature vs nurture, and the existence of stages of development; known as sequential/discrete vs continuous.]]> 2017-03-22 02:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/d_oh/wish/161700868 jkosche0801 https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/d_oh/wish/161702200 2017-03-22 03:12:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jkosche0801/d_oh/wish/161702200
