WSRt, critical thinking - a summary of all articles needed in the fourth block of second year psychology at the uva

 

This is a summary of the articles and reading materials that are needed for the fourth block in the course WSR-t. This course is given to second year psychology students at the Uva. The course is about thinking critically about how scientific research is done and how this could be done differently.

Bundle items:

Bayes and the probability of hypotheses

Objective probability: a long-run relative frequency.
Classic (Neyman-Pearson) statistics can tell you the long-run relative frequency of different types of errors.

  • Classic statistics do not tell you the probability of any hypothesis being true.

What are important elements of Bayesian statistics?

Image

The three most important elements of Bayesian statistics are:

  • The Prior: the relative plausibility of hypothesis, before seeing the data
  • Likelihood: the predictive updating factor
  • The Posterior: the relative plausibility of hypothesis, after seeing the data

What is the Bayes factor?

What is the Bayes factor?

Image

The Bayes factor (B) compares the probability of an experimental theory to the probability of the null hypothesis.
It gives the means of adjusting your odds in a continuous way.

  • If B is greater than 1, your data support the experimental hypothesis over the null
  • If B is less than 1, your data support the null over

What are weaknesses of the Bayesian approach?

Image

Weaknesses of the Bayesian approach are:

  • The prior is subjective
  • Bayesian analysis force people to consider what a theory actually predicts, but specifying the predictions in detail may by contentious
  • Bayesian analysis escape the paradoxes of violating the likelihood principle, but in doing so they no longer control for Type I and Type II errors

What is qualitative psychological research?

Image

At its most basic, qualitative psychological research can be seen as involving the collection and analysis of non-numerical data through a psychological lens in order to provide rich descriptions and possibly explanations of peoples meaning-making, how they make sense of the world and how they experience particular events.
