Quantitative Methods in Social Psychology January 9, 2007

Types of Quant. Methods in SP  Experimental and quasi-experimental – examine changes in variables to arive at a causal inference  Cross-sectional nonexperimental – estimating population parameters and (co)variation among variables  Longitudinal nonexperimental and historical – occurrence of events in their time to understand causes and consequences

Concepts and Measurements  Conceptualization – involves developing concepts and specifying relationships among concepts (developing theory)  Operationalization – involves creating ways to measure concepts (creating methodological test)

Types of Effects (Relationships)  Direct  Indirect  Causal  Spurious
