sampling bias- a flawed sampling process that produces an unrepresentative sample
random sample - where every person in the entire group has an equal chance of participating
scientific method- a self correcting process for evaluating ideas
-ways to test hypotheses:
***descriptive methods, experimental methods, and correlational methods
-case studies analyze individuals
-steps include creating a hypothesis, testing the prediction, then evaluating/editing the theory.]]> 2016-08-26 14:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/120045954 rheaobe6721 https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/120567486 Types of perspectives and summaries:
**Structuralism:
-people use experiences to recreate feelings, however it is not used anymore because there is no way to test this theory (too much experimental error)
**Gestalt perspective:
-Opposes structuralists perspective because they believe that human perception relates to a whole versus individual parts
**Functionalism
-Functionalists wanted to focus on conscious experiences and believed that there was always some consciousness going one. It no longer exists but helped shaped the behavioral perspective
**Psychodynamic
-Believes that behavior comes from unconscious desires, they believe that personality is developed by ages 5-6 and most desires are sexual. Many of the ideas were criticized and unscientific
**Behaviorism-believed that people act a certain way because of their experiences and also includes classical/operant conditioning. THe most common way to test it is with experiments.
**humanistic
-People are good and are free to choose their own way of life rather than being influenced. Humanists help people realize their inner thoughts
**Biological
-Believes that all psychology is science and the way people think is caused by how the brain functions.  
**Cognitive
-mostly based on thoughts, they believe that behavior and reactions come from individual perspective
**Sociocultural
-Deals with how society structure shapes the way a person things, including factors like gender, ethnicity, etc.
**Evolutionary
-Deals with evolution explaining why people behave a certain way. it explains how genes and traits are passed by natural selection cause behaviors. 
**Eclectic
-all perspectives combined.]]> 2016-08-30 14:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/120567486 rheaobe6721 https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/120579174 2016-08-30 14:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/120579174 rheaobe6721 https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/120826616 AP Essay notes: 
-two major things to know--> define&apply
-a thesis, conclusion, or introduction is not needed
**major notes from unit 1 packet:
-circle what the question is asking
-answer the question
-use psychology terms
-do not imply]]> 2016-08-31 14:06:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/120826616 rheaobe6721 https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/121094186 Longitudinal Study: study over a long period of time
-->problem with it:people can drop out
Confounding variable: an outside variable that affects your dependent variable
-Independent variable=what manipulates the test
-dependent variable=what comes as a result of the independent variable
-control group=the group that is affected by the independent variable
-experimental group=group whose tests is not manipulated]]> 2016-09-01 14:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/121094186 rheaobe6721 https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/121796979 Notes from textbook:
-doubt big, round, undocumented numbers
-measure of central tendency=a single score that represents a whole set of scores
-an experimenter should consider atypical scores when working with the mean
-Number used to represent statistical significance = .05

Normal Bell Curve: 

other notes:
-ANOVA finds P value
-when hump is on the left, the graph is positively skewed, when it is to the right it is negatively skewed]]> 2016-09-06 14:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/121796979 rheaobe6721 https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/122120203 -a subjects 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 misunderstanding as soon as possible. 
-subjects rights to privacy should NEVER be violated
-harmful or painful procedures imposed upon animals must be thoroughly justified in terms of the knowledge to be gained from the study
-animals are entitled to decent living conditions---> food, shelter, water, etc.

-the video showed that experiments without ethics can take away humanity 
-ethics includes consent, correction of any misunderstandings, right to privacy, etc (see below for specifics)
-Keep results fair and accurate]]> 2016-09-08 14:46:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/122454562 rheaobe6721 https://padlet.com/rheaobe6721/w88sv25oulh6/wish/122748215 -can only show relationship, not cause and effect
Three types:
1.positive: up up, or down down
2. negative: up down
3. no correlation
-  statistical measurement is -1 to 1
-best understood by strength or direction
Examples of correlation:
-the more money I have, the more food I will buy
-The more I sleep, the less cranky i will be
-The more i practice, the better I compete
