YENROSE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1. How are empirical journal articles different from review journal articles? How are both types different from a chapter in an edited book?
2. Harlow’s study of attachment in baby monkeys is an example of basic research. Brainstorm some applied research questions that this basic research study might generate. Start by identifying some of the domains to which you might apply these findings (such as education, parenting, or health care), and then give a specific (applied) research question for each domain.
3. Recall the three types of claims and the four big validities. Explain which validities are most relevant for each of the three types of claims. Researchers do not usually aim to achieve all four of the big validities at once, why not?
4. What is the difference between the conceptual variable and the operational definition of a variable? How might the conceptual variables “affection,” “intelligence,” and “stress” be operationalized by a researcher?
