2. **** A hypothesis is put forward to eliminate internal contradictions in the theory or to overcome discrepancies between theory and experimental results and are a tool for improving theoretical knowledge.

3. **** The hypothesis must satisfy the principles of falsifiability (if it is refuted during the experiment) and verifiability (if it is confirmed during the experiment).

4. The hypothesis about **** is formulated as an assumption about the presence of certain phenomena, events.

5. The hypothesis about **** is formulated as an assumption that some indicators are related (are in certain ratios with each other).

6. **** is formulated as an assumption that one phenomenon affects (changes) another phenomenon.

2. Establish a correspondence between the terms (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and their definitions (A, B, C, D, E)

This is a form of scientific reflection of the problem situation. On the one hand, it expresses real objective contradictions, on the other hand, it indicates the contradiction between the awareness of the need for certain practical action and ignorance of the means and methods of their implementation.

2. Research problem

a system and sequence of research actions, means (tools, devices, environment), which allows solving a research problem. With its help, the characteristics of behavior are fixed and the object is affected.

3. Paradigm

this is the way scientific knowledge object or practical activities, realizing the cognitive position of the subject to the object of study.

B. By this research is meant an attempt to solve a problem that no one has posed or solved in a similar way. Sometimes similar studies are called “poke method” studies:

B. Studies within which theory predicts facts and empirical patterns. Usually, in comparison with the initial experimental sample, the conditions for conducting the study, the object, and the methodology change.

D. Exact repetition of the experiment of the predecessors to determine the reliability, reliability and objectivity of the results.

Topic 3. Theory of psychological experiment.

1. The founder of the study of the socio-psychological aspects of the psychological experiment was R. Zayonts. In 1933, he published an analytical review on this problem, where he identified the main factors of communication that can distort the results of the experiment.

2. The effect of social facilitation (gain), or the effect of the audience, was discovered by Hawthorne.

3. The joint activity of the subject and the experimenter, which is organized by the experimenter and is aimed at studying the characteristics of the psyche of the subjects, is a psychological experiment.

4. The placebo effect was discovered by doctors: when the subjects believed that the drug or the doctor's actions contributed to their recovery, they experienced an improvement in their condition. The effect is based on the mechanisms of suggestion and self-hypnosis.

5. A properly delivered conversation allows you to test hypotheses in causal causal relationships, not limited to ascertaining the connection (correlation) between variables. Distinguish between traditional and factorial plans for conducting a conversation.

6. This method was first proposed in 1910 by A.F. Lazursky at the 1st All-Russian Congress on Experimental Pedagogy. A laboratory experiment is carried out under normal conditions within the framework of the activities familiar to the subjects, for example, training sessions or games.

7. One-dimensional and multidimensional experiments are distinguished by the number of variables studied.

    The formative experiment aims not to simply ascertain the level of formation of this or that activity, the development of certain aspects of the psyche, but their active formation or upbringing. In this case, a special experimental situation is created, which allows not only to identify the conditions necessary for organizing the required behavior, but also to experimentally carry out the purposeful development of new types of activity, complex mental functions and to reveal their structure more deeply.

9. The basis of the ascertaining experiment is the experimental genetic method for studying mental development.

10. The experimental genetic method for studying mental development was developed by A.N. Leontiev and is associated with his cultural-historical theory of the development of higher mental functions.

11. A pilot experiment is when the area under study is unknown and there is no system of hypotheses. The results of the pilot experiment may help clarify the direction of further analysis.

12. A group of subjects who are not exposed to any experimental influences, since it serves as a comparison during the experiment - the control group

13. The group of subjects subjected to experimental exposure (as opposed to the control group) - experimental group

2. Choose from the proposed answers (A, B, C, D) only one is correct.

"Double blind method" is the method:

A. Conducting a study of people's reactions to any impact, which consists in the fact that the subjects are not initiated into important details of the study being conducted (the influence of the independent variable is masked). The method is used to exclude subjective factors that may affect the result of the experiment.

B. Designing an experimental situation in such a way as to exclude any presence of an external variable in it.

B. When not only the subjects, but also the experimenters remain in the dark about the important details of the experiment until its completion. This method eliminates the unconscious influence of the experimenter on the subject, as well as subjectivity in assessing the results of the experiment by the experimenter.

D. Systematized quantitative evaluation of the content of texts. It was first used by K. Jung in the analysis of the results of an associative experiment. It is widely used in psychological diagnostics (projective methods), special psychology, psycholinguistics, etc.

D. Random selection or distribution of subjects, in which all subjects have an equal chance of being included in the group. It is used in the selection of members of the population in the experimental sample, as well as in the distribution of subjects into experimental and control groups.

3. Choose from the proposed answers (A, B, C, D) only one is correct.

D. Which remains constant throughout the experiment

4. Fill in the gaps (****) in the sentences (characterizing ways to control external variables).

1. (****) – i.e. conditions are created when external variables do not change and equally affect all subjects. (For example: street noise outside the window is considered as a constant variable).

2. (****) is the construction of an experimental situation in such a way as to exclude any presence of an external variable in it. (For example: a room that is maximally isolated from the outside world).

3. (****) - creation of a control sample, which is in the same conditions as the experimental one, and differs from it only in the absence of the influence of the independent variable.

4. (****) - a way to control the effect of order by alternating influences. Each group of subjects receives the same set of influences, only their sequence in the series changes. Each set of actions is presented the same number of times.

5. (****) - i.e. random selection of subjects in a group. This makes it possible to exclude the influence of both the individual psychological characteristics of the subject, and to exclude the influence of the preferences of the one who recruited the group.

6. (****) - consisting in the fact that the subjects are not initiated into the important details of the study (the influence of the independent variable is masked).

7. (****) - this method allows you to mask the influence of the independent variable from the subjects and from the experimenter.

6. Choose from the proposed answers (A, B, C,) only one is correct.

The pre-experimental plans are:

1. And these are plans in which it is required to identify the impact of two or more WIPs on one RFP. At the same time, WIP can have several levels of intensity,

are to create conditions under which all levels would be combined with each other. The number of EGs is taken equal to the number of combinations of levels of all WIPs.

2.B are plans in which all measured variables are dependent. The factor that determines this dependence can be one of the variables or a hidden, unmeasured variable.

3. In this, studies conducted according to certain schemes, without taking into account the requirements for the plan of a classic experimental study. The reason is the impossibility of taking them into account when conducting a real study under specific conditions.

1. Answer whether each of the following statements is true or false:

1. A conversation is understood as a purposeful, organized and in a certain way fixed perception of the object under study

2. Using the method of observation, one can detect only phenomena that occur under ordinary, "normal" conditions, and in order to cognize the essential properties of an object, it is necessary to create special conditions that are different from "normal".

3. The main features of the testing method are:

Direct connection between the observer and the observed object

Partiality (emotional coloring)

Difficulty (sometimes - impossibility) of repetition

4. The interview is called a targeted survey.

5. The test method is a time-fixed test designed to establish quantitative (and qualitative) individual psychological differences.

6. The pioneer of using the questionnaire in psychological research was K. Lorenz. Exploring the influence of heredity and environment on the level of intellectual achievement, he designed a questionnaire and interviewed 100 of the largest British scientists with its help.

7. Studies in which the psychologist does not measure and does not observe the actual behavior of the subject, but analyzes diary entries and notes, archival materials, products of labor, educational or creative activity, etc., are called the history of an individual case.

D. This value in the set of observations that occurs most often. The difficulty is that a rare collection has a single mode.

3. Establish a correspondence between the terms (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and their definitions (A, B, C, D, E), types of measuring scales.

1. Interval scale

this is a scale that classifies by name and establishes the correspondence of a feature to a particular class. The name is not measured quantitatively, it only allows you to distinguish one object from another or one subject from another.

relations

this is a scale that classifies according to the principle "more by a certain number of units - less by a certain number of units", the first metric scale that determines the magnitude of differences between objects in the manifestation of a property. At the same time, using a scale, they find out how more or less a certain property is expressed in one object than in another.

3. Ordinal scale

it is a scale that classifies objects or subjects in proportion to the severity of the measured property, it has a significant zero point, which is not arbitrary, but indicates the complete absence of the measured property.

4. Scale of differences

This is a scale that classifies according to the principle "more - less". Here, the subjects may be ranked, for example, by weight or height.

items

has a natural scale unit. It corresponds to the additive group of real numbers. The classic example of this scale is historical chronology.

1. Choose from the proposed answers (A, B, C,) only one is correct.

Artifact is:

A. The result of the study, which is the result of a change in the dependent variable under the influence of side variables, is the result of errors or insufficient control of the conditions of the study.

B. a method of controlling the action of external variables, in which each group of subjects is presented with various combinations of independent and additional variables.

B. a sequence of bars, each based on one split interval, and the height of the bar is the frequency or number of occurrences.

1. (****) a hypothesis that is mutually exclusive with the main working hypothesis.

2. (****) a sequence of bars, each based on one split interval, and the height of the bar is the frequency or number of occurrences.

3. (****) this is a histogram, but lines connect the midpoints of the columns of each bit interval. Since on the bits to the right and left of the bits of the frequency distribution, the frequency has a value of zero, therefore, continue to the horizontal axis in the middle of the interval below the lower estimate and above the highest estimate.

4. (****) a graph in which the results of observations are displayed in the form of columns.

5. (****) strict mathematical rule, according to which one or another statistical hypothesis is accepted or rejected, is the choice of an appropriate function from the results of observations, which serves to identify the measure of discrepancy between empirical values ​​and hypothetical ones.

a measure of dispersion (deviation from the mean). In statistics, the arithmetic mean of the squared deviations of the observed values ​​(x1, x2,...,xn) random variable from their arithmetic mean.

the most common indicator of the variation of a quantitative variable, measures the "average" spread of the values ​​of a variable relative to its arithmetic mean in the same units as the variable itself; is equal to the square root of the variance.

Plan Variant Versions

1. Pre-experimental plans

These are studies carried out according to certain schemes, without taking into account the requirements for the plan of a classic experimental study. The reason is the impossibility of taking them into account when conducting a real study under specific conditions. Research according to the scheme of pre-experimental plans was carried out even before the emergence of the theory of experimental planning. These plans include:

1. any scientific work usually begins with it. This kind of research, as a rule, is carried out at the first stages of scientific activity in order to compare their results with ordinary ideas about reality. But they do not carry scientific information. (Control of EP and WIP is completely absent.)

2. often used in sociological, socio-psychological and pedagogical research, there is no control sample. therefore, changes in the RFP during testing are caused precisely by a change in the WIP. In addition, this plan does not allow you to control the effect of "natural development", other "background" events.

3. Plan for two non-equivalent groups with post-exposure testing. makes it possible to take into account the effect of testing due to the introduction of CG, as well as to partially control the influence of "history" - background influences on the subjects and a number of other external variables. it is impossible to take into account the effect of natural development.

This plan is applicable in a correlation study.

2. the presence of EG and min. 1 CG.

3.completion exp. testing and comparing the behavior of the EG and CG groups.

1. Popular with psychologists. The "history" ("background") factor is controlled, since in the interval between the first and second testing, both groups are exposed to the same ("background") influences.

2. The plan includes two EGs and two CGs. is a combination of two plans. Solomon, with the help of his plan, reveals the effect of experimental exposure with four different ways: when compared.

To avoid testing effect

*** design for 4 randomized groups with pre-testing in 2 groups and final testing in 4 groups.

Check for changes over time in the effect of the experiment

*** plan for 4 randomized groups with preliminary testing in all groups and final testing at different times.

3. It is recommended to use in the case when it is not possible or necessary to conduct preliminary testing of the subjects. With good randomization, this plan is the best, it allows you to control most of the sources of artifacts.

4. Sometimes a comparison of two groups is not enough to confirm or refute an experimental hypothesis. In implementing this plan, only one level of WIP is presented to each group. It is also possible that the number of EGs increased in accordance with the number of IWP levels.

*** plan for 3 groups and 3 levels of WIP.

1. plan with pre-test and post-test and control group

2.Solomon's plan for 4 groups

3. plan for two randomized groups with post-exposure testing

Plans for one independent variable and several groups.

factor plans. They are used if it is required to identify the impact of two or more WIPs on one WIP. At the same time, WIP can have several levels of intensity,

are to create conditions under which all levels would be combined with each other. The number of EGs in the factorial plan is taken equal to the number of combinations of levels of all WIPs.

1. to identify the effect of the impact of two WIPs on one ZP. To draw up this plan, the principle of balancing is applied.

2. is used in cases where it is necessary to establish the type of dependence of one RFP on one WIP, and one of the WIPs is represented by a dichotomous parameter.

3. is used if both WIPs have several levels and it is possible to identify the types of relationship between the dependent variable and the independent ones. This plan allows you to identify the impact of reinforcement on the success of completing tasks of varying difficulty.

4. plan for organizing a multilevel experiment, in which the second experimental factor is the order of presentation different conditions WIP.

is used when it is necessary to investigate the simultaneous influence of three variables that have two or more levels. The principle of the "Latin square" is that two levels of different variables occur in the experimental plan only once. can significantly reduce the number of groups.

2. plan 3x2

3. Plan Zx3

4. 2x2x2 plans: "three independent variables - two levels. Simplified version - "Latin square"

3. Quasi-experimental plans

created specifically with a deviation from the "true experiment" scheme. The researcher is aware of those sources of artifacts - external variables that he cannot control.

is any study aimed at establishing a causal relationship between two variables (“if A, then B”), in which there is no preliminary group equalization procedure or “parallel control” involving the control group is replaced by comparing the results of repeated testing of the group (or groups) before and after exposure.

1. are aimed at establishing a causal relationship between two variables, in which there is no preliminary procedure for equalizing groups. The participation of the CG is replaced by a comparison of the results of repeated testing of the group (or groups) before and after exposure.

these are plans that take into account the limitations of the forms of control before the implementation of the experimental exposure. Testing is carried out by one group, and the final (after exposure) is the equivalent (after randomization) group that has been exposed. The disadvantage is the inability to control the "influence of the" history "factor

2. Plans built according to the time series scheme for one group are similar in structure to the experimental plans for one subject. Its essence lies in the fact that initially the initial level of RFP is determined for a group of subjects using a series of successive measurements. Then the researcher influences the subjects of the EG, varying the WIP, and conducts a series of similar measurements. Compared levels, RFP before and after exposure.

all measured variables are dependent. The factor that determines this dependence can be one of the variables or a hidden, unmeasured variable.

1. The plan is used to establish the similarity or difference between two natural or randomized groups in terms of the severity of a particular psychological property or condition.

2. The plan is close to the experiment, since the conditions in which the group is located differ. In the case of a correlation study, we do not control the level of WIP, but only state a change in the individual's behavior in new conditions.

3. This plan is used in the study of twins by the method of intra-pair correlations. Dizygotic or monozygotic twins are divided into two groups: in each group - one twin from a pair. In twins of both groups, the mental parameters of interest to the researcher are measured. Then the correlation between the parameters is calculated ( ABOUT-correlation) or twins (P-correlation).

4. A group is selected, which is either the general population or the population of interest to us. Tests tested for reliability and internal validity are selected. Then the group is tested according to a specific program.

5. The researcher reveals not the absence or presence of significant correlations, but the difference in the level of significant correlations between the same indicators measured in representatives of different groups.

6. The study is built according to the plan of time series with testing of the group at specified intervals. In addition to the effects of learning, consistency, etc., the effect of dropout should be taken into account: not all subjects who initially took part in the experiment can be examined after a certain period of time. time.
