Thirdly, where the sociologist has interpretivist perspective, detachment may seem a big barrier to overcome. The researcher cannot observe the full picture of a sample being questioned because he relies on responses. Apart from that, the pre-coded answers limit the chance of clarifying certain questions and addressing misunderstandings of the respondent. This roots to the aim of questionnaire, in addressing large scale population in order to draw generalisations; the concept of individuality is lost.
CBT 2 Abstract Objective: Childhood psychic trauma affects several areas of the brain which in relation causes behavioral problems. Traumatized children who are victims of physical or sexual abuse, neglect or other traumatic event is generally evaluated and supervised by therapist who provides trauma focused treatment. I will be providing information on realistic strategies used for managing dysfunctional emotions and behavior problems which is broken down by the trauma focused evidence base treatment also referred to as (EBT) used for children who are highly distress. Methods: Cognitive therapy looks to help children defeat difficulties. Treatment planning includes a balance of both trauma and behavioral focal point, working on ongoing behavioral problems and behavioral crises, modify distorted thinking so that families could have the knowledge to transfer, and children can learn how to talk through their experiences.
Had the subjects been informed of the study’s purpose, the question of ethics would be less ambiguous. Some would argue that the special conditions needed for this study required the lack of informed consent. Males in the study would perhaps behave differently had they known what the goal of the study was, or that they were even partaking in a study. Although this is a valid point, debriefing and the request of consent after the experiment were attainable and would have put together a more ethical and less questionable study. Various approaches could have been used to compensate for the lack of personal privacy and informed consent but were not.
Teleology is the study of purpose, ends, and goals in natural processes. A teleological explanation accounts for natural processes in accordance with purposive or directive principles. 1. Thus, if Thomas' argument is correct, the degree of the truth of the conclusion should be comparable to the conclusions of the findings of modern science. It is important to see that since no claim is made as to the certainty of the conclusion but only as to its probability, the argument cannot be criticized on the grounds that the conclusion does not follow with absolute necessity.
If the agency had more notice from the evaluator, the evaluation process would have been more reliable. What issues and challenges might the evaluator face? The training project may be lacking in policies and procedures. The evaluator may have to decide if the data collected by the agency is
Also, scientific knowledge is testable; research must me able to be empirically proved and be observable with human senses. Furthermore, science is unequal with “common sense”; “common sense” must not be used in research. Finally, research should be free of extraneous cause; it should be explicitly for the good of knowledge and must be judged by logic. Therefore research must produce results that meet the following conditionals: “For all conditions of X, if X has property P and P=Q, then X has property Q” and “Statements must be true for all times and places.” Positivists make certain assumptions about the world. They assume that nature is orderly and that there is an underlying cause or pattern.
This risk entails that the Crisp Project’s assigned leader is not experienced for their current managerial position. This will result to turbulence for the project. A new project leader needs to be hired as a result, or the current one needs to be trained to lead the Crisp project. The continuation of the report will explain the two risks in more detail assessing the level of the risk, the observation, additional facts, the impact on the project, and recommendations for how to address these two risks. Findings: 1.
Some of those barriers are related to cultural aspects such as language differences and religious dogma. Others are related to the faith that participants have in science such as false expectations. Having awareness of these types of barriers is crucial for both researchers and participants. Misunderstandings concerning the experimental procedures can lead participants to get involved in research projects that they dont approve of. Finding themselves in this situation can have great effects on the psychological and physical wellbeing of participants.
The independent variable is controlled and manipulated by the researcher, in hope to affect the dependent variable and prove their hypothesis right or wrong. c) Suggest two criticisms of field experiments. (4 marks) Field experiments make it hard to verify that the causes that are identified are the real cause of the outcome. This is because the sociologist cannot control all of the variables in a scenario so it is hard to identify the correct causes.Field experiments do not usually gain the informed consent of the participants because it is thought that the participants will then act differently, due to it being an experiment and if they knew, it would 'give the game away'. d) Examine the reasons why some sociologists choose not to use experiments when conducting research.
This could all affect the research as it means that it could affect the final result. Other issues that could occur in picking methods would be practical and would be things like time and money that it would take to carry out the research. Others would be the funding bodies that could effect what topic that has to be researched, therefore only certain methods can be used for certain topics. Also, there could be the issue of gaining access to the participants as they could be secretive in the information that they reveal. More issues that could occur would be ethical.
