Psychology Research Methods - Call List

(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

1. This quantitative, experimental method, has a high level of control over the IV and DV
   Lab experiment
2. This is the second stage of Braun and Clarkes 6 step Thematic Analysis, whereby the researcher labels their data in a way that captures something about the meaning.
   Generate codes
3. This type of research approach relies on interpreting meaning from non-numerical data
   Qualitative research
4. When neither the experimenter nor the participants are aware of which experimental group they are assigned to
   Double-blind
5. This type of research approach relies on numbers and statistical testing
   Quantitative research
6. The grounds on which qualitative research may often be criticised, due to the findings being based on the researcher’s personal opinion
   Subjectivity
7. When participants are given all the necessary information about an experiment before agreeing to take part
   Informed consent
8. a decline in performance on a prolonged or demanding research task that is generally attributed to the participant becoming tired or bored with the task.
   Fatigue Effects
9. Where each participant is assigned to more than one condition of the IV
   Repeated measures
10. An in depth investigation into only one person or situation
    Case study
11. The extent to which the findings of a research study are able to be generalized to real-life settings
    Ecological validity
12. This can be considered as a guide/script that interviewers ask questions from
    Interview Schedule
13. When participants try to guess the true purpose of an experiment and behave in a way they believe the experimenters want
    Demand characteristics
14. A fake (or dummy) treatment given to patients in the control group of a clinical trial.
    Placebo
15. There are equal groups where participants are matched based on certain characteristics e.g. gender, age…etc
    Matched-pairs
16. When two observers/experimenters give consistent ratings for the same participants.
    Inter-rater reliability
17. the tendency for survey respondents to agree with research statements, without the action being a true reflection of their own position or the question itself
    Acquiescence bias
18. characteristics of participants that may unintentionally influence how they respond to the DV e.g. age, gender
    Participant variables
19. This sampling technique means that each individual within a given target population, have an equal likelihood of being selected to take part in a study.
    Random sampling
20. This sampling technique means that researchers recruit participants based on how convenient and easy they are to access.
    Convenience sampling
21. A group that is not subjected to the IV in a experiment
    Control group
22. This is a method of data collection whereby people discuss a particular topic in small groups
    Focus Groups
23. When the same participant will get the same result on a test on multiple occasions
    Test-retest reliability
24. A technique where rather than conducting new research with participants, the researchers examine the results of several studies that have already been conducted
    Meta-analysis
25. When a test or experiment accurately measures what it intends to measure
    Validity
26. This is a statistical technique that examines the relationship between two variables
    Correlation
27. A criticism of quantitative approaches, in that they try to reduce complex phenomena to statistics and numbers
    Reductionist
28. Where experimenters/observers rate behaviour differently due to having a desired outcome
    Observer bias
29. 
30. This is a type of interview format whereby the researcher has some guiding questions and prompts, but also allows the participant to expand on topics relevant to them
    Semi-structured
31. where a researcher tells the participants that they are being observed and what they are being observed for.
    Overt observation
32. The researcher uses more than one method to verify/check their findings.
    Data triangulation
33. This is a guiding framework researchers may use to analyse qualitative data, popularised by Braun and Clarke (2006).
    Thematic Analysis
34. This is a research approach whereby researchers collect and analyse both quantitative and qualitative data.
    Mixed-Methods
35. This word means that results impartial, and are not influenced by personal biases
    Objectivity
