Individuals with autism often have difficulties reading non-verbal forms of communication, such as body language, and find it hard to relate to other people’s feelings and emotions, which can effect their responses to a social situation as they will appear out of context or inappropriate. Another problem an autistic individual may experience in social interaction is having a rigid set of interests. For example, an individual may have a vast knowledge on sport, and will only want to discuss this topic of interest, resulting in a monologue of interests rather than a conversation. 3. - The problems of inflexibility and restrictiveness in activities and interests and how these may affect Individuals with autism can often show inflexibility and restrictiveness in their interests.
It leads to society making premature judgments about other cultures, not knowing all the facts about another culture. Cultures judge other cultures on what they may be good at, and we may overlook different details of life that another culture may maneuver more precise than another culture would do. It can also have other cultures ignoring what is happening in other cultures would not accept any help or conception merely
Able to collect data from a large number of respondents. | Respondents may not feel encouraged to provide accurate, honest answers. If respondents choose not to answer to a question and some do cooperate it may affect the data collected, the survey could then be bias. Some people may not answer the survey/questions as they feel it may present them in a way they may feel uncomfortable with. | Questionnaires | It is practical.
However, they are opposed by Interpretivists who say they impose the researcher’s framework of ideas on the respondents and they claim this may influence the respondents’ view on the question being asked. A reason as to why some sociologists choose not to use questionnaires when conducting research is because of a chance of a low response rate. This may be a result of people who receive questionnaires being not bothered to complete and return it. This can be a problem as the people who do not respond having a different opinion to those who do respond, this does not provide accurate representativeness. A higher response rate can be obtained if follow-up questionnaires are sent, but this can add to the cost and time.
Many alternatives are accessible to use. Using other options instead of animals for research come with infinite benefits including less expensive procedures, more animals in their natural habitats, and unharmed organisms. It eliminates the factor of harming animals in order to proceed with scientific discoveries. Sullivan (2012) finds it “less spendy” and faster to use artificial skin and human eye models in addition to the fact they are more accurate methods. These non-animal methods replace those archaic animal tests, and take less time to complete.
Will Carlson Politics is an extremely complicated subject to do research on because there are so many variables. Details are vague and people are either interested or not, this makes research a little bit easier. People’s views can be misconstrued and wrong but either way it’s their opinion and you have no right to change that. For that reason it’s a touchy subject for some people because they may not want to divulge any information. When researching politics I find that it’s best to be neutral to not stir up any confrontation that will hinder your research.
Another reason why sociologists may not want to use questionnaires is their inflexibility. This meaning that once questionnaires have been sent out the researcher is stuck with the questions asked and cannot probe deeper or change the questions. This becomes a problem if during the research there becomes new areas of interest which now can no longer be explored. However it is argued that this can be partially combatted with the use of follow up questionnaires. Interpretivists sociologists also tend to not use questionnaires as they argue that they lack validity and do not give
B) What are the weaknesses of this method in measuring this construct? * People might not react honestly, also as they cannot memorize because they desire to present themselves in a publicly suitable manner. * It might be tricky to get a casual sample of the population as some people who are chosen decline to answer questions to get a full list of the population from which to choose a random sample. * Whether the method is unrestricted or
The resulting decision is sometimes a shock to outsiders, who are not confronted with the reality of the difficult situation faced by the decision maker. These reaction decisions, as distinct from proactive decisions, often
Why or why not? In my honest opinion prejudice is hard to measure because it cannot accurately be predicted or judge by a test. I feel like prejudice cannot be measured accurately because the test shows the association between different groups. The only thing I can see the implicit association test is measured are the groups that I may belong to or fit in. People cannot show the result of being or prejudice because people are known to select things that they are more familiar with, things that they are more commutable with, and things that they see in their everyday environment.
