...involves collecting data about a given subject directly from the real world. This section includes information on what primary research is, how to get started, ethics involved with primary research and different types of research you can do. It includes details about interviews, surveys, observations, and analysis. Contributors:Dana Lynn Driscoll, Allen Brizee Last Edited: 2012-09-21 10:05:43 Primary research is conducted all of the time--journalists use it as their primary means of reporting news and events; national polls and surveys discover what the population thinks about a particular political figure or proposal; and companies collect data on their consumer base and market trends. When conducting research in an academic or professional setting, you need to be aware of the ethics behind your research activity. Here are some specific points to consider: * You should have the permission of the people who you will be studying to conduct research involving them. * Not all types of research require permission—for example, if you are interested in analyzing something that is available publicly (such as in the case of commercials, public message boards, etc) you do not necessarily need the permission of the authors. * You don’t want to do anything that would cause physical or emotional harm to your subjects. This could be something as simple as being careful how you word sensitive or difficult questions during your interviews. * Objectivity vs. subjectivity in...

...Effects of misleading question on eyewitness testimony. Aim: this was to find out if misleading questions distorts the accuracy of EWT. Method: loftus and palmer carried out a lab experiment which involved 45 students. They were shown 7 clips of a traffic accident. Afterwards the participants were given a questionnaire to answer series of questions. Although a critical question was asked, which was “how fast was the car going before hitting the other car”. Here the P’s were being split, one group were given this question while the others 5 groups were given verbs such as: smashed, collided, bumped and contacted instead of hit. Result: smashed (40.8), collided (39.3), bumped (38.1), contacted (31.8), hit (34) Findings: loftus and palmer found that the P’s weren’t able to recall the investigation properly due to the verbs that were given. strengths | weaknesses | * | * It lacks mundane realism because it isn’t likely to happen in real life. * It was done in a lab therefore it lacks ecological validity. It is within an artificial setting * P may not be emotionally aroused as they watch a video because it is not the same as real life * P also may not feel any sense of responsibility as they would have felt in real life. * Because P’s took part in all the studies they might have shown demand characteristics. * Small sample size limits generalizability | Effects of age on eyewitness testimony.

...Practical – Do leading questions have an effect on memory? Aim: To find out whether leading questions result in the inaccuracy of memory. Hypothesis: My hypothesis is that participants who are asked a leading question will have a higher estimate of speed after watching the video clip. I have suggested this due to the Loftus and Palmer Study (1974), in which Loftus and Palmer conclude that leading questions alter a person’s recollection of memory, often activating the wrong schemas and in most cases distort the recalled information by reconstructing the memory with the help of particular cues. The hypothesis created is one-tailed/ directional. Null Hypothesis: My null hypothesis is that participants who are asked a leading question will have a similar estimate of speed as participants who are asked a non-leading question. Apparatus: 1. A video clip of two cars being raced - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfV87TgYH78 2. Paper and pen – For students to write their estimate of speed. Independent Variable: The independent variable is the leading/ non-leading question asked to participants. Dependent Variable: The dependent variable is the estimation of the speed (mph) of the car in the video clip shown to participants. The two variables above will determine the final results acquired from the experiment I will be conducting with my group. Controlled Variable: I will ensure that the two groups contain equal number of participants. For...

We should ask this question ?what is the change ? Change is an inherent component of capacity building in organizations larger environment(Ron Edmondson,2011). People don’t resist change they resist being changed and they did not fear a new idea, what it fears is a new experience. (Jay Derago, 2012).

...struggling every day to find food and water, the other could have been among the few rich people and lived in luxury. Both of them would have very different memories about how times were back then. The same goes for reality. While we all might agree on what is real or not our thoughts on reality could be on different sides of the spectrum. The definition of reality is “the state or quality of having existence or substance.” If something is real to me then that’s my reality and same goes for someone else, so who’s to say that there isn’t more than one reality and why is humanity so interested in reality? I believe that humanity is so interested in reality because we are naturally curious. They say curiosity killed the cat and I believe that saying is very true. We as humans always want our questions answered be it a simple question like two plus two or a complex question like what is reality with no real answer yet. This curiosity is just part of our nature and it can lead to obsessions. Some people are so obsessed with finding the answer to questions that they devote their whole life to it and this obsession consumes them. Even if we found the answer to reality, how much would it change our everyday lives? The question that we so longed for the answer to wouldn’t even make a mark on how we live our lives and the person who found this answer would have committed his entire life to find this now insignificant answer. I’m not saying that I’m not curious about the answer because...

...misattribution errors 3) Retrieval: Information the person retrieves at a later time Best guesses in line-up identification Leading questions - Inaccurate eyewitness testimony can have very serious consequences leading to wrongful convictions. - Why eyewitness testimony may be unreliable? * The role of anxiety: Baddeley 1997 reported that 74% of suspects convicted in 300 cases where eyewitness identification was the only evidence against them. Anxiety may lead to unreliable remembering depends on number of factors. * Research on ‘weapon focus’ Loftus 1979: P were exposed to one of the 2 situations; 1- They overheard a low-key discussion about an equipment failure. A person then emerged holding a pen with grease on his hands. 2- They overheard a heated and hostile exchange between people in the lab. After the sound of breaking glass and crashing chairs, a man emerged from the lab holding a paper knife covered in blood. P were then given 50 photos to try and identify the person. Findings: 1- Accurately identified the person 49% of the time. 2- Successfully 33% of the time. Conclusion: Reported a lab experiment which demonstrated the powerful role that anxiety can play in undermining the accuracy of eyewitness testimony. * Research on witnessing real-life events Yuille and Cutshall 1986: they interviewed 13 witnesses to a real-life shooting involving the owner of the store and an armed thief....

...a day to do things that I thought were fun. Time was a way I measured how long I had until the next instance of something that I had to do. Time was not important it was numbers on a clock. Time was what I had to keep track of the days as they flew by with nothing important to do. Time in its essence had no meaning, no value, or no real importance. Then one remark made a point in time the most important occurrence of time in my life. One question asked gave value to time, one voice gave meaning to time, and one smile forever made time important. The first time I saw her made me question what I was using time for. How could someone I just met change my views on the importance of time? “How big is that shirt? It is like a tarp on you.” That one question followed by that one comment was the first event in my time that had real importance. It was the first time in my life that time had meaning, value, and importance. Her answer made me blush. Her smile made me forget who I was, and her eyes slowed time. As I tried to regain my thoughts I hurried to the back office. What was I thinking was the first thing that came to my mind. That was the first real event in my life. It was the first event in my life where time had a...

...place to do this observation at, it was true, because not that many people were there to pick from like Palladio was, but it was alright, we eventually got it finished after a long while. Now for the adults that we decided to approach, when we went to do our observation, we chose many different adults varying from age, some that looked real young, and some that looked old, real old. We asked them the simple question of “What’s the time?” we got many different reactions throughout this observation. We never got any threatening or violent reactions, but we got very strange, awkward responses. Most people were nice, but at the same time, it seemed that they might be a bit scared to answer such a simple question. Now with me being the “Scary” teen, people would tend to act a lot differently towards me. I dressed with that kind of so call “Gangsta” type look, with the hat, the sun glasses and even put aluminum on my teeth to make it look like a had a grill in my mouth, I sagged my jeans and had a big shirt on. This type of dressing seemed to make people want to back off rather than facing me and answering the question. When people did answer the question, they never actually looked me in the eye. This was no surprise to me,...

...says “An interview can be best be described as a professional conversation conducted with a specific purpose or goal in mind. The trust of an effective interview is to gain knowledge and information that is pertinent to the enquiries. An interview should generally strive to answer basic questions: who, what, where, when, how and why”. Redelman G.F says “the purpose of an interview is to gather information about the application’s competence and work experience so that you can select the best qualified candidate”. Interview Guiding Principles Your goal is to have a fair and effective process for conducting interviews. Statutes governing fair employment cover the interview process as well as the selection of the candidate. To ensure fairness, you should: * Conduct structured interviews in which each candidate is asked a predetermined set of questions and all candidates are measured against the same criteria * Treat all candidates in a fair, equal, and consistent manner * Eliminate cultural or other forms of bias in the interview process * Evaluate candidates effectively by developing and asking a variety of questions, including direct, open-ended, and situational questions * Keep your top candidates interested by completing the interview process quickly * Choose the best candidate for the job Interview format * Competency/criteria-based interviews- these are structured to reflect the competencies or qualities required by the job.

...Sean C Scott Implicit Association Test University of Phoenix Implicit Association Test The Implicit Association Test’s (IAT) that participated in were the one on Race and another on Skin-Tone. I found both test’s to very interesting but lacked in my opinion the true questions needed to accurately determine a person’s preferences on the test topics. I think test should have gone a little deeper into how a person feels towards the opposite race based on common stereo types and misconceptions that usually bring out the true feeling about the opposite race rather it be positive or negative. As Far as the test reveling something about myself that I wasn’t aware of before in my opinion failed to do that because of the vagueness of the questions being asked. For example the final result page of the test suggesting me to having little to no preference between dark and light skinned people which in some cases could be true but failing to revile the true fact of my very strong preference towards light skinned woman to a dark skinned woman. I think the test should have asked some question on the bases of gender to determine if that really played an important role in discovering hidden biases towards male or female when it came to skin-tone. In my opinion I think part of our biases come from the way we were brought up as children from pass experiences and cultures of our parents and family that influenced our actions...
