Okay so good afternoon everyone. So last time we finished discussing research ethics.
So we discussed part one, face to face, and of course part two, of course the session was recorded wherein the administrative body responsible for the protection of animal rights was discussed which is the IACUC.
And then of course, we discussed in the second part of the lecture the common fraud that we commit in science, specifically what we call plagiarism.
Question, can we commit fraud in science or fraud in academic research if we didn't cite ourselves in case we're doing new research and we're the author?
Okay, that's correct. So, that's allowed, right? Which is self-plagiarism.
And one of the reasons why other practitioners in our field or even in other field commit fraudulent is because of course, they want to be promoted or their tenure in a particular institution is getting longer.
So in the academic setting, it's very common.
They do research to promote themselves in a higher position.
Research is very important in the academe.
and actually in CVSU and other universities, that's their number one goal to produce research.
So now we will proceed with the next topic.
And it's not visible where my presentation is.
Wait a minute. I think I didn't activate PowerPoint.
point. Okay. So in this lecture, we will be dealing with some alternatives to experimentation
or experimental research design. So, there are instances or situations wherein it is
not feasible to conduct an experiment or sometimes impractical to conduct an experiment.
So if that's the situation, what design can researchers use when they want to investigate a particular phenomenon or want to investigate human behavior if it's in our field?
So for example, there are researches just like what I've mentioned in our previous topic that are very unethical.
Like frontal lobe damage, for example, you cannot manipulate the damage to the brain to achieve the objective of your study.
So if that's the case, the benefits outweigh the risks, so possibly IRB will reject that or more likely IRB will reject that.
So you need a different design in that particular situation.
Or for example, you're spending too much and you're not funded by the institution or even the government if you're going to do research.
You don't have the resources or your resources are limited to conduct an experiment.
So what are the alternatives or research design that you can use
aside from experimental research design.
So that's what we'll look at in our next topics
including our topic today.
So we have three topics about alternatives to experimentation
starting with this one, non-experimental designs.
And then next week we will be dealing with survey research and interview.
And then the last part of the alternatives to experimentation, we're facing each other, that would be correlational research and quasi-experimental design.
So what are our objectives for this topic about alternatives to experimentation and non-experimental design?
So the first one, of course, at the end of this session, you should be able to learn about the different techniques for studying behavior that does not manipulate antecedent conditions.
or what research or methodologies you will use in case you cannot manipulate the antecedent condition or the independent variable.
Another one, of course, you need to be familiar with various qualitative research designs.
We will discuss here the five or the big five qualitative research designs that you will more likely encounter in your field method.
I will give you an overview about its focus, purpose, methods of data collection, and methods of data analysis.
I will also give examples so that we can better understand qualitative research design.
On part 2, that will be on Wednesday, you will learn about the different techniques employed in an observational research or observational studies.
and you will learn how to conduct new research using data already collected by other researchers.
This is what we call an archival study.
Okay, so now let's have a quick review about the psychology experiment.
So what are the major components of a psychology experiment?
I will start first.
Of course, to consider our study as an experimental or psychology experiment, we should have a manipulation of...
What are we going to manipulate?
Manipulation of what?
Please put it in the chat box.
This is the first major component of an experiment.
Manipulation of?
