Our group’s 2 key questions for our tutor are: 1. ethical parameters – What are the ethical parameters we must adhere to for this study? Should we inform nonparticipating people about the study at hand? – should be right if the research gains – not really viable to debrief 2. How do we do a 2×2 table? – it’s good Worksheet areas 1. State the rationale for your study and the theoretical background you are basing it on. ? Why is this research needed? What will it tell us that is important or consequential? ? What theory/theories are you testing? ? Are you amending/extending a previous study? Investigation into ‘groupthink’ and the influences of the bystander effect on a participant’s likelihood to engage in helping behaviour. This study seeks to build on the research of Latané & Darley and further findings in relation to the effect which race has on the bystander. – came across this study, could be useful to refer to for previous study in this area ???? http://web.b.ebscohost.com.ezp01.library.qut.edu.au/ehost/detail/detail?sid=f74bb11d-1d Tutor name: ________________ Tutorial day & time: Wednesday 6-7pm 3. State the design of your study (e.g., 2 x 2). Is it a between-subjects or within-subjects design? The design was a 2 (Social Group of Subject: race) × 3 (co-presence: alone vs. group of participants that share social group vs. group of participants that don’t share social group) between subjects design. Lone Participant Group of Participants – All Participants Share Social Group Group of Participants – Non Participants Share Social Group. Subject: In-Group (shares social group with participant) Lone Participant and Subject Share Social Group Group of Participants and Subject Share Social Group Group of Participants and Subject Shares Social Group With One Member of Group Subject: Out-Group (doesn’t share social group with participant) Lone Participant and Subject Do Not Share Social Group Lone Participant and Subject Do Not Share Social Group Group of Participants and Subject Do Not Share Social Group Control variables/ control factors more than random sampling will allow you to do – in a classroom? (control) 4. State your independent variable(s) (IVs). State your dependent variable(s) (DVs). ? For this section it is just conceptual. You will describe your manipulations/ measures of variables in detail below Tutor name: ________________ Tutorial day & time: Wednesday 6-7p
