• The Nuremberg Code is a set of principles for research ethics.
• Research ethics are the principles by which researchers decide the best way to balance the contribution of their research to human knowledge against potential damage to human welfare.
• Researchers are obliged to have knowledge of any code of ethics that applies to their research.
• Researchers need to understand clearly the fundamental ethical issues before planning and carrying out any research.
• Human research involves debriefing, which is the process of explaining the purpose and procedures of research to participants after its completion.
• Informed Consent is the ethical principle that participants should be told about research to make a decision on whether to participate or not.
• Placebo is a device used to control for the effect of research participants’ expectations, participation/experimental treatment.
• The researchers need to obtain informed consent prior to recording the voices and images of the participants.
• The researchers need to protect the participants from any physical and psychological discomfort that might arise from procedures.
• Professionalism reminds researchers to plan & use research method that not cause respondents to suffer negative consequences.
• The researchers need to allow participants to reject and withdraw from the study at any point without giving any reason.
• Plagiarism is prohibited.
• The Science of Psychology states that psychology is known as the science of behavior and understanding human behavior requires a series of scientific approaches based on scientific evidence through different types of research.
• Trustworthiness reminds researchers not to: manipulate data & research results, to write honest & sincere report.
• Scientific Research Methods are methods for the psychologists to enhance the understanding and knowledge of all areas in psychology.
• Research Procedure Checklist includes contacting individuals or groups identified as subjects & asking them to be respondents, asking for written permission from those who agree to participate in the research (informed consent), delivering a rough outline of the research project to these individuals/groups, assuring respondents that any info given to the researcher will be kept confidential & that their identity will remain anonymous.
• Examples of scientific research methods include formal laboratory experiments designed to provide a comprehensive and accurate information, biofeedback machine, and observation sessions in natural settings.
• Discipline reminds researchers to always follow rules guideline of research- not to produce results which are invalid.
• Monkey Studies by Harry Harlow aimed to understand the importance of attachment and mother-infant bond.
• Research Code of Ethics reminds researchers to uphold specific moral values before, during & after research.
• Self-Awareness reminds researchers to be aware of unacceptable behaviour, actions & personal responsibility towards respondents.
• The researchers need to keep participants’ information private and confidential unless agreed.
• Experimental Research Design is applied to explain a particular behavior, the researcher has to systematically and strictly follow the rules or regulations during the experiments to manipulate aspects of the setting which intends to produce the specific behavior.
• Clinical psychologists gather data by self-administered psychological tests or observing the personality functioning during a session with patients.
• Control in research is the application of what has been learned about behavior to apply our knowledge to change or improve particular behavior.
• Observation is a method of research that allows us to understand behaviors by observing the personality functioning during a session with patients.
• Psychological research is a scientific method procedure for acquiring and testing knowledge through systematic observation or experimentation.
• Quasi-Experimental Design in research involves studying about systematic differences among groups of people and applying the results to make predictions.
• The four main objectives of conducting research are understanding, description, prediction, and explanation.
• Prediction in research is the ability to understand certain behaviors could occur due to the others conditions or stimulants, which is related, correlated and been identified.
• Correlation Design in research involves looking for a statistical relationship between different events, behaviors, or experiences.
• Explanation in research allows the researcher to proceed for a further step, it is important to explain and find the reason to cause of behavior.
• Videos that record activities or student progress are a part of a portfolio.
• Authority in research relies on a knowledgeable person or group as a means of knowing about the world.
• Journal entries, self-assessment/learning logs, and personal notes while observing others are common elements of a portfolio.
• Empirical Method is a procedure for obtaining information based on observation.
• A work philosophy is a brief description of the author's beliefs about themselves and the university/organisation.
• Field Study is an observational study towards a group of people in real-life settings, where observers are able to collect descriptive information pertaining to different types of social and cultural experiences.
• Drug abuse and physical dependence can have lasting effects on human behaviour and should be considered when creating a portfolio.
• Observation in research relies on what one observes as a means of knowing about the world.
