Please help with psychology research study?

We Answered:

The independent variable is what's being tested, in this case symptoms of depression.

Biases:
*Separating people by shoe choice, which is likely correlated to some other lifestyle behaviors or moods.
*Taking the groups to different places to wait before being tested (as if that wasn't hysterically obvious).
*More subtle, the people in the different groups are kept together, so they know who is in the group with them and they will probably show symptoms that other people are showing.
*The researchers know who is receiving what pill. This means the researcher may influence the group mood or behaviors.

Media Effects:Anyone enlighten me to the difference between psychology studies and social science research?eek

We Answered:

Social science is very much about observing or participating in real life scenarios using methodologies such as action research, double loop learning and reflection. studying psychology is the study of known techniques and theory based on the practitioners, scholars and new and well established psychologists. Social science can in theory be applied to any environment and usually any scenario where a lab study is infeasible. It isn't based purely on statistical data collection and can be qualitative as well as quantitative.

You need to start your research on social science research. Then look at the work of known psychologists and look for what the differences are, whether there are links between the two and start to formulate an opinion on how they contrast if indeed they do!
