...University of Phoenix Material Appendix B November 2012 Research Methods List the advantages and disadvantages of the following research methods: Case Study Advantages Case studies allow a lot of detail information to be collected that would not normally be easily obtained by other research designs. It provides detailed descriptions of precise and rare cases. An in depth data can be collected than can be found through other experimental designs. Case study can be a source of new ideas about a person’s behavior and open new ways of findings (Psy270 textbook). Case study can support a theory. Disadvantages One of the main criticisms is that the data collected cannot necessarily be generalized to the wider population. This leads to data being collected over longitudinal case studies not always being relevant or particularly useful. Case studies are generally on one person, but there also tends to only be one experimenter collecting the data. This can lead to bias in data collection, which can influence results more than in different designs. It is also very difficult to draw a definite cause and effect from case studies. Correlation Method Advantages Enables testing of expected relationships between two variables, and making projections, forecasts or predictions. These relationships can be assessed in daily life events. More experimental research can be conducted using new groups of participants to establish cause and effect. Correlational Method...

...University of Phoenix Material Appendix B Research Methods List the advantages and disadvantages of the following research methods: Research Method | Advantages | Disadvantages | Case Study 1. Case study in psychology refers to the use of a descriptive research approach to obtain an in-depth analysis of a person, group, or phenomenon. A variety of techniques may be employed including personal interviews, direct-observation, psychometric tests, and archival records. . | Such detail not normally obtained by other studies, specific and rare cases, the development of original hypothesis used for later testing. | Collecting longitudinal case studies not always being useful, some non-scientific, one client and one subject could lead to a bias result and wrong data will bring different results than others, case-control needed but difficult to obtain. | Correlational MethodCorrelation is a statistical measurement of the relationship between two variables. Possible correlations range from +1 to –1. A zero correlation indicates that there is no relationship between the variables. A correlation of –1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, meaning that as one variable goes up, the other goes down. A correlation of +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation, meaning that both variables move in the same direction together. | More data than experiments- being more applicable to daily life opens up further research, correctional research helps provide a good start for other...

...Appendix B discusses a mock trial case concerning whether an employee’s readjustment of their property tax assessment was a deliberate or unintentional act. Each witness in the case provides substantial evidence confirming a breach in protocol by the appellant, Wilson Worker. However, there is no evidence to accurately assess the appellant’s argument, in regards to whether his policy violation was an inadvertent mishap vs. a blatant attempt to exploit the system. In my experience, a disciplinary board supplements a criminal hearing when a company doesn’t have the capacity or the evidence to elect for prosecution of a member. As this mock trial, lacks legal guidance often associated with board hearings (i.e., documentation that provides legal definitions, guidance on what constitutes a breach in protocol, and qualifications for retention), I will base my recommendations on the available facts to provide the most appropriate course of action. The Facts vs. Uncertainty The trial introduces four testimonies, Estimate Value, Guy Noir, Wilson Worker, and the written statement of Tom Tenure. As each testimony dabbles into the...
