Lyrics:
One, two, three, and to the four
Randy Le and Jaime Trujillo are at the door
Ready to talk about Psych so best listen up
Cause you know we about to twist it up
Give me the microphone first so I can talk about the sample
Representative and random then you wont have any trouble
Meaning characteristics that correspond to the population!
And equal chance for being selected!
I know it doesnt rhyme but thats how the song goes!
Necessary it is, so please dont try to skip this (heck yeah)
But, uh, time to bust out the methods
So Le kick it and dont miss any of the objectives
Naturalistic observation is first to present
Systematic study of behavior in a natural environment
Behavior observed is natural, spontaneous, and can vary
But watch out for observer bias on the contrary
Case study is next on the list
That is intensive description and analysis
But just on one or a few individuals
So you cant generalize on the rest of the peoples
Can be expensive and time consuming
So you best think twice before fully committing
Its like this and like that and like this and uh
Its like that and like this and like that and uh
Its like this and like that and like this and uh
Lets continue on with the methods
Well its cheap, quick, and provides lots of info
Surveys are the shiznit for the average Joe
Questions are answered based on judgments
So accuracy can be a problem in several events
Sampling bias can be a factor also
Keep that in mind before you think youre pro
Correlational study is characterized
As relationship between two or more variables being analyzed
Not at first glance, but there is a chance
Of lurking variables in the result tables
If there is, dont ya dis
Because me and my homey Le already told you about this
Its like this and like that and like this and uh
Its like that and like this and like that and uh
Its like this and no more time spent
Time to move on to the experiment
Research technique in which a variable is manipulated
Then its measured on those who have participated
Its with the variables, independent and dependent
Along with the groups, both control and for the experiment
From this, conclude about cause and effect
However, the artificiality of the lab may affect
Yeah, and it dont quit
I think they in the mood for some ethic spit
So Le. (What up G?)
Gotta give em what they want. (Whats that dogg?)
We gotta break em off somethin (heck yeah)
And its gotta be bumpin
Researchers must have informed consent
And they must do no harm to the participant
Any risks must also be stated
And for animals its somewhat related
One has to consider the animals treatment
And make sure the scientists dont torment
Let me move on to the math in psychology
Most important are Ms of central tendency
Mean is the average and mode for the most
Median is the middle, now time to bring this to a close
Yeah, but before I go
Yall should know the scatter plot info
Between two variables, shows the association
And observation of strength with the correlation
Remember the standard deviation
Statistical measure of the results variation
Like this, that and this and uh
Its like that and like this and like that and uh
Its like this, and we aint got love for those
So just chill, til the next episode
everybody in the world needs to watch this :D
