How did you find the paper?

 

[kitty18]

sorry for the late reply, had 2 consecutive papers so... anyways the according to the cheif examiner no alternate method is wrong as long as it follows these guidelines
1. Aim of the study
2. lab/quasi/ field (note it is necessary to mention here tht u r required to conduct the research only in the location specified in the question)
3. longitudinal/ snapshot
4.experimental design: independant measure/ matched pair/ repeated measure
5. sample's features ( size, age, gender, race, socio-economic background,location)
6. sample's selection ( self- selection/ selection by opportunity/ random/ snowball)
7. Materials
8. observation: naturalistic/ controlled/ participant
9. I.Vs and their manipulation
10. Measurement of D.V
11. collection of quantitative and/ or qualitative data( self report questionnaires, interviews, rating scales)
12.inter- rater reliability: if possible and details of the procedure

Hello! Ok, here trying to help you guys, esp. you Dean. lol.

Also another tips from my teacher with regards to the alternative study.
-In the sample paper, the first question asks about a 'method'. This could be anything, including non-experimental methods, e.g. interviews, surveys/questionnaires, case study, etc.
- The alternative method asks you to use the method specified on the first question. So you have to design your own.
NOTE: It is very important that you make the study as ethical/valid/reliable/representative/ecological valid as possible to score really high. 10 marks on this, as many points as you can, as long as you cover sufficient details. This is already mentioned by kitty18.
- The next question is also painfully 10 marks. You need to evaluate your alternative study. This is where the issues I mentioned earlier come in handy. You need to make sure you cover as many issues as possible, esp. (validity, ecological validity, demand characteristics, reliability, sample representativeness, method practical issues (funding, snapshot/longitudinal, control, extraneous variables, IV/DV), ethical issues (confidentiality, consent, harm, deception, debriefing, withdrawal).
NOTE: It is very important that your study is as ethical as possible and can be replicated
RECOMMENDATION: List down all the issues when designing your alternative study and eliminate each one of them so you can get them all covered.

Wish us all the best

So, basically if your study is perfect and covers all the issues
then what do you talk about when evaluating your study? :S
anddd can you give me a brief example as to how youd begin your answer?

in the sample paper theres a question regarding the briefing questions asked in the study by Dematte, about odors affecting facial attractiveness.
the question asks to discuss the practical and ethical issues.
what are practical issues?

Pleeeease reply! Thankyou
