Is it alright to use internet sources as data? | Numbers and Psychology

https://emilyjchurchill.wordpress.com/2012/03/11/is-it-alright-to-use-internet-sources-as-data

A blog about statistics and psychology. Is it alright to use internet sources as data? This week I will considering whether it’s alright to use internet sources as data in qualitative studies. The internet has become a huge part of our lives and is used in hundreds of different ways. So should research be one of these ways? I think that there are valid points on both sides of this argument, and I will look at them before coming to a conclusion on the issue. British Journal of Psychology,. March 11, 2012.

The file-drawer problem. | Numbers and Psychology

https://emilyjchurchill.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/the-file-drawer-problem

A blog about statistics and psychology. Welcome back everyone to another fun filled semester of blogging. This week I’ll be talking about the file-drawer problem, which is basically a more interesting way of saying publication bias. However, a little embarrassment is not a good enough reason to allow this to continue. So what can be done to reduce this problem? Http:/ www.nytimes.com/2008/01/17/health/17depress.html.

Can correlation show causality? | abbydoesmath

Just another WordPress.com site. Skip to primary content. Can correlation show causality? March 11, 2012. Although correlation and causality sound similar, they are in fact very different things, and not intrinsically linked. Variables can be correlated (positively or negatively), without one being responsible for the change in the other.

Just another WordPress.com site. Do Television, games and other forms of media really have an effect on our behaviour? Do Television, games and other forms of media really have an effect on our behaviour? March 25, 2012. Hi there all. Last blog of academic year from me! So, I thought I’d go for a topic that really interests me. Please please be warned that the first example I’m going to use is a pretty nasty one, so I would warn you not to read on if you’re easily upset. But, again, does desensitisation ...

Just another WordPress.com site. Can correlation show causality? Causation means that the changes in one variable directly cause a change in another. So the short answer to the question?

I recently listened to a BBC4 podcast on brain scanning (kindly left by Mike Beverley – merci beaucoup) as I very much needed inspiration to get my statistical juices going (find here. http:/ www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00q2qyk ) Well, get my juices flowing it did!

Ethics | statsblog2011

https://statsblog2011.wordpress.com/2012/02/06/ethics

Research Methods and Statistics. Ok, so when I think of ethics I think they limit what we can do, and why do we need them when we all have common sense that would allow us to make the right decisions of what to do in research. After researching the topic a little more I was very surprised! Ok, so study number one, ‘The Monster Study’. Study number two,. And finally, study number three, ‘The Well of Despair’,. A quote that I found that I thought summed it up quite nicely is ”Back in the days when me...
