5.2 The Value of Low-Constraint Methods 1)Low-constraint research is appropriate in A)the initial stages of research in a new area. B)established areas of study. C)all areas of research at all levels of scientific inquiry. D)differential studies. 2)A researcher wants to study bonding behavior in chimpanzees. Unfortunately, the researcher has no real knowledge about chimpanzees, and there is no information on bonding in the literature. Which of the following would be the most appropriate way to begin to study the topic? A)Archival research. B)Ex post facto methodology. C)Experimental research. D)Naturalistic observation. 3)When a new research area is first studied, A)it is critically important to use the highest constraint research procedures in order to maximize control over the unknown confounding variables. B)the researcher should specify exactly what causal relationships he/she is expecting to observe. C)the research variables should all be clearly specified before any observations are made. D)the researcher should use low-constraint procedures because of the greater flexibility they offer. 4)For which of the following conditions would low-constraint research techniques NOT be appropriate? A)When the research area is new and the researcher has little idea what to expect. B)When the researcher is interested in the behavior of a single participant and is not interested in generalizing the findings beyond that single participant. C)When the researcher wants to demonstrate the feasibility of a new research or treatment procedure. D)When the researcher wished to generalize the research findings to a larger population. 5)When is low-constraint research appropriate? A)At the beginning stages of a new area of research. B)At the later stages of testing a new drug. C)At the beginning stages of any experiment. D)During replication studies, even if the original study was conducted at a high-constraint level. 6)An area of concern that is more problematic in laboratory research than in low-constraint field work in psychology is A)scientific validity. B)generalizability of findings. C)that lab experiments are unethical. D)that most human behavior can only be evaluated in naturalistic environments. 7)A researcher wants to look at the effects of stress on ability to function in college students. He brings students into his laboratory, induces stress in some students, and then measures ability to perform a task. A problem with this study is A)it lacks scientific validity. B)that stress is induced in some students and not others. C)it is unethical. D)the findings may not generalize. 8)Case-study research with individuals A)is generally applicable to the wider society. B)is similar to high-constraint research. C)can be used to predict future results with a high degree of accuracy. D)may not predict behavior in the wider society. 9)The most useful laws of behavior are those that A)predict behavior in the real world. B)can be replicated in laboratory conditions. C)are statistically accurate. D)aid basic research. 10)Researchers who conduct all their research in highly constrained laboratory settings often overlook the potential contributions to ________ made by case-study and naturalistic research. A)posterity B)generalizability C)internal validity D)charity Â
