Research design
Zoe is doing an experiment on memory for neutral and sport related words involving a short memory test in controlled
conditions. She is worried all the sporty people will end up in one group so decides to test everyone on both kinds of words
• What is the experimental method?• What is the experimental design?• What problem could there be with this design?• How could Zoe overcome this problem?• What other type of experiment could she use?

Exam practiceIn an observational study, 100 cars were fitted with video cameras to record the driver’s behaviour. Two psychologists used content analysis to analyse the data from the films. They found that 75% of accidents involved a lack of attention by the driver. The most common distractions were using a hands-free phone or talking to a passenger. Other distractions included looking at the scenery, smoking, eating, personal grooming and trying to reach something within the car.

Hypotheses
• One tailed (directional)
• Two tailed (non- directional)
Which is better?

Note the IV/DV/Type of Hypothesis• Memory will be worse after a delay than for immediate
recall
• Child and adult witnesses differ in accuracy of their testimonies
• Children spending longer in day care are more aggressive

Operationalising variables
• Any variable needs to be defined to ensure it is a valid manipulation or measure and to aid replication, e.g. a DV of ‘security of attachment’ could be defined by an infant’s responses in the Strange Situation.
• In a memory study the DV could be defined by the number of words recalled and the IV of ‘amount of rehearsal’ as the time allowed for learning.

1. Jane is hoping to carry out an experiment on how non-smokers’ memories are affected by a smoky atmosphere. She has decided to put a notice on the VLE asking people who would be willing to participate to e-mail her.
2. As part of his A Level, Henry is investigating how childhood memories of seventeen and eighteen year olds differ according to gender. He selects participants for his study by asking friends, acquaintances or anyone who will agree to take part. 3. Tessa is investigating how the strength of BHASVIC students’ memories differ for events that have occurred in their college life compared to in their life outside of college. She decides to gain her sampling by giving each BHASVIC student a number, then using random number tables to select students who have the corresponding numbers.

Question oneResearchers conducted an independent measures design experiment in a local coffee bar investigating whether receiving physical contact from someone increases their rating of friendliness.
The experiment took place between 11am and 2pm on a Wednesday. As members of the public left the coffee bar after paying, some were touched lightly on the upper arm by the cashier, whereas others were not.
Outside the coffee bar members of the public were asked how friendly they thought the staff were on a scale of 1 (‘not very friendly’) to 10 (‘extremely friendly’).
Identify the sampling technique used to obtain participants for this study and suggest one weakness with it. [4]
