2The principle of determinism in psychology:

the principle of causality means that all psychological phenomena are determined, i.e. caused by some external or internal factors. Orients the researcher to the search for these connections.

3The idea of ​​determinism was first expressed by:

Democritus in the 6th century BC. It all started with physics (Galileo, Newton) of the 16th-18th centuries.

4. Supporters of the empirical trend in the philosophy and psychology of the New Age were:

Galileo, Newton, Descartes, Bacon, Hobbes, John Locke, Hartley, Hume.

    For the first time the idea of ​​a reflex mechanism was expressed by:

Prochazke, Magendie, Bell.

    Experimental psychology refers to:

a field of psychology that organizes knowledge about research problems common to most psychological areas and how to solve them. Experimental psychology is called a scientific discipline about the methods of psychological research.

    Theory means:

Scientific system of knowledge. The result of the process of awareness.

in a broad sense - a system of views, representations of ideas aimed at explaining the phenomena of any area of ​​the environment. Peace.

In a narrow sense, it is the highest form of organization of scientific knowledge, which gives a holistic view of the patterns and relationships of a certain area of ​​reality, the object of this theory.

    Methodology means:

Doctrine of Methods scientific knowledge.

(path + word) a system of principles and methods of organizing and constructing theoretical and practical activities, as well as the doctrine of this system.

methodology is understood as: a set of research methods used in a given science (narrow sense), the doctrine of the methods of scientific knowledge and how to build a system of this knowledge.

    The experiment is:

An empirical study is conducted to identify cause-and-effect relationships.

scientifically established experiment, observation of the phenomenon under study under precisely taken into account conditions that make it possible to follow the course of the phenomenon, measure and record changes and repeatedly reproduce it when these conditions are repeated.

    Observation is:

method, method, process of purposeful, organized perception of the registration of the behavior of an object. The oldest psychological method.

    Content analysis is:

    What is the difference between the term "psychology of experiment" and "experimental psychology"?

experimental psychology- area psychology ordering knowledge about common to most psychological directions of research problems and ways to solve them.

The psychology of experiment is the psychology of experience, observation, a specific object in this case - experiment. The difference in the object of science))

    The main methods of psychological research are:

Observation

Experiment

Psychological dimension

Methods of mathematical-statistical processing and interpretation of data.

    The main principles of experimental psychology include:

the principle of determinism and the principle of causal relationships.

-laboratory

Natural

Traditional

factorial

Aerobatic

The essence of causality is the production of the cause of the effect.

    Hypothesis in psychological research:

A hypothesis is a scientific representation in the form of a statement, the truth or falsity of which is unprovable deductively, is unknown, but can be verified empirically (empirically) in the course of an experiment.

Hypothesis - A system of inference, through which, on the basis of a number of facts, a conclusion is made about the existence of a connection phenomenon, a cause. Moreover, this conclusion cannot be considered absolutely reliable.

Psychological hypothesis - scientific assumptions formulated regarding psychological reality within the framework of certain psychological ideas. Concepts corresponding to theoretical ideas act as hypothetical constructs in a hypothesis.

    The essence of the experimental hypothesis is:

It serves to organize the experiment.

It is a hypothesis about causal relationships.

    The experiment allows you to test hypotheses:

1) connection hypotheses

2) causal hypotheses

    Which judgment relates to the definition of the concept of "independent variable"?

Experimental influence and experimental factor - controlled variable, actively changed by the researcher

    Which judgment relates to the definition of the term "dependent variable"?

A variable (any mental phenomenon, characteristic) of change, which is considered as a consequence of a change in the experimental impact. Simply put, this is the so-called reaction or response to experimental exposure.

24. What type of experimental variables are "additional" and "side" variables?

(managed - existing system learning, aspects of the social environment. physiological variables)

Minor, arising in addition to the will and desire of the experimenter and the subject.

But also requiring careful recording, measurement and processing.

    What type of sample of subjects does the following judgment refer to: "The sample of subjects on which the experimental influence is directed ..."?

It's called the experimental group.

    What type of sample of subjects does the following statement refer to: "A sample of subjects that is not affected by the independent variable ..."?

It is called the control group.

    What type of sample of subjects does the following judgment refer to: "A sample of subjects reflecting the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the general population is ..."

A group of objects limited in number, specially selected from the gene. Aggregates for studying its properties.

    Randomization is a sampling strategy that is defined as:

Simple random selection. Each member of the general population has equal rights with others to be included in the sample.

    Representative sampling modeling is a sampling strategy that is defined as:

The ability of the sample to represent the phenomena under study as fully as possible (in terms of their variability in the general population).

    The essence of the experiment is:

In identifying the cause-and-effect relationships of the phenomenon.

It is the most important component of psychological examination.

    First of all, the control group is used:

To check the results obtained on the experimental sample.

    How does a quasi-experiment differ from an experiment:

Quasi-experiment - with limited forms of control of the conditions of the independent variable.

Use as exp, and counter, non-equivalent groups.

Implementation of control after the study.

    How to interpret a negative test result:

As well as the positive ones.

This is an explanation of the psychological meaning of the obtained quantitative and qualitative results of the study, based on the put forward theoretical positions.

    What limits the transfer of the conclusions of the experiment to the general population:

The representativeness of the sample. From the point of view of the variability of the studied phenomena in the general population.

    "L" -, "O" -, "T" - data in the psychological study of personality differ:

Depending on their reliability and reliability.

    "L" - data:

external criterion.

    "O" - data:

Data of personality questionnaires, self-assessment methods.

Gilford-Zimmerman test (temperament)

Eysenck's personality questionnaire.

    "T" - data:

Physical tests.

Physiological tests.

    Parametric statistics methods are used in case of:

If the nature of the distribution of indicators of a psychological trait is normal or close to the normal form of the distribution of the trait described by the Gaussian curve.

Method examples:

Comparative analysis

Calculation of the reliability of the differences between the samples by Student's t-test, Fisher's t-test.

    Methods of non-parametric statistics are used in the case of:

If the distribution curve of indicators is far from normal.

Method examples:

Calculation of the reliability of differences according to the Q-Rosenbaum criterion

According to the UMann-Whitney test

Spearman's rank correlation coefficient

Factorial, multifactorial, cluster and other methods of analysis.

    Curve normal distribution(Gaussian curve)

Model of variation of some random variable, the value of which is determined by a set of simultaneously acting independent factors.

    Kurtosis and skewness of the distribution curve:

Secondary Characteristics of the distribution of trait indicators.

Kurtosis is an indicator of sharpness. Curves that are high in their middle part are excessive.

The coefficient of asymmetry is an indicator of the skewness of the distribution to the left or to the right along the x-axis.

    Assessment of the significance of differences according to the parametric 1-student criterion:

It is intended to find out how significantly the indicators of one sample differ from another. Has two forms: 1) unrelated t-test - to find out if there are differences between the scores obtained when using the same test to test two groups of different people.

2) associated t-test - for 2 groups between which there is a specific relationship.

    Assessment of the reliability of differences by non-parametric criterion. About Rosenbaum, Mann-Whitney 1L criterion:

When the data does not follow a normal distribution, non-parametric tests are used. You can compare the results of two groups obtained using the same test.

    Correlation analysis (correlation coefficient of Mr. Pearson, Mr. Spearman):

Revealing the relationship between two or more data sets. Provides an accurate quantitative assessment of the degree of consistency of changes in two or more features.

Pearson is a measure of the correlation between two variables distributed according to the normal law.

Spearman - the possibility of carrying out not very complex mathematical calculations with a calculator for small samples.

    The level of statistical significance shows:

The probability that a given result correctly represents the population from which the sample was studied.

    The procedure for standardizing the scales of methods is used:

To evaluate an individual test result by comparing it with test norms.

When it becomes necessary to compare the performance of the subject, obtained by different methods.

    Encoding and transformation of the form of information is used:

In studies conducted to compare the psychological characteristics, features of prof. activities of employees of state spheres and commercial organizations.

In order to simplify and correlate with different sectors.

    Rank operation:

grouping into different classes so that within the group they are identical in terms of the measured property, attribute, quality. Each class is given a name and designation.

Rank or ordinal scale is the result of ranking.

A priority,rank or operation precedence or operator- a formal property of an operator/operation that affects the order of its execution.
