Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop douceur brought

00:05

to you by research processes which may be the most

00:08

boring combination of two words possible in the english language

00:11

make up for it Here's a photo of a chimpanzee

00:14

making a funny face We feel better already here's our

00:17

question sam's asked to participate in an experiment he's given

00:20

information about the topic of the experiment what participation entails

00:24

and how long the experiment will take to complete he's

00:27

also told that he'll be given five bucks upon completion

00:29

and then he can stop at any time without being

00:31

penalized This information is all part of which of the

00:34

following research processes and hear the potential answers are a

00:39

nation of breathing All right well we can get rid

00:43

of a right off the bat because we know that

00:45

observation is part of the research process that comes once

00:48

the experiment has started It's the act of acquisition of

00:51

information based on primary observable sources and considering the experiment

00:56

question hasn't started yet we're not quite sure what anyone

00:59

would be observing Maybe they're observing sam being a jerk

01:02

All right we can nick see for similar reasons data

01:05

Collection is the process of gathering information in order to

01:07

test the hypothesis and evaluate the information in order to

01:10

draw conclusions is often done through surveys interviews and focus

01:14

groups much like observation it's an active process of data

01:18

acquisition and since sam has yet to set foot near

01:21

the experiment well it's out as well Data coding happens

01:24

after the data collection and involves transforming the collected data

01:27

into a medium that's understandable to a computer so that

01:30

the computer can be used to work with the data

01:33

in drawing conclusions That's definitely not what we're looking for

01:36

either really certainly regret bringing you well on board for

01:39

this one Sam All right debriefing sounds closer to what

01:41

we're looking for Why Because the briefing describes a discussion

01:45

between the researcher in the participants about the experiment that

01:48

doesn't occur during the experiment Unfortunately this debriefing always occurs

01:52

after the experiment and it's an important ethical component in

01:56

order to ensure the participant was not harmed in any

01:58

way close but still not our answer So that leaves

02:01

us with consent Well the fourth person participates in the

02:04

experiment he or she must have enough information about what

02:07

Will happen in the experiments purpose in order to make

02:10

an informed decision about whether or not to participate in

02:13

this process is known as consent and is an ethical

02:16

responsibility of the researcher So that means d's are correct

02:20

Answer And now sam can get back to the experiment

02:22

So what We really think he has a face for 00:02:25.428 --> [endTime] modeling
