Read the power point slides through this link (https://www.slideshare.net/mkmacin/experimental-research-mary-macin) and answer the following questions.
1. What is the main topic of the research? (1 or 2 sentences).
2. For the purposes of this research, how is the concept of ‘compliance to authority’
defined? (1 or 2 sentences)
3. The authors suggest that this research can also be seen as a study of what? (1 or 2
sentences)
4. What are the main research questions in this study? (short paragraph)
5. Is the research design quantitative or qualitative? (one word)
6. Is the research design experimental or correlational (as the terms are used in this
course)? (one word)
7. The authors do not clearly name their primary Independent Variable throughout the
research. They call the different categories of this variable ‘Treatments’ (see the notes)
Treatments O, H and R represent an absence of this variable while the other treatments
represent different forms of this variable. What label could reasonably be used to
describe this primary Independent Variable? (sentence)
8. What is the main Dependent Variable in this research? (sentence)
9. Why do the researchers conduct an experiment involving antisocial (nasty) behaviour
rather than prosocial (helpful) behaviour? (sentence)
10. Who are the subjects and how many subjects are there? (sentence)
11. How many different treatments are there? (number)
12. What is the main difference between the R treatment and the RCC treatment? (1 or 2
sentences)
13. What is the main difference between the R treatment and the R-Order treatment? (1 or 2
sentences)
14. What is the main difference between the RC treatment and the RCJ treatment? (1 or 2
sentences)
15. How is the Dependent Variable measured? (1 or 2 sentences).
16. How many participants are there in treatment groups R and R-Order (2 numbers)
17. How many explicit hypotheses are described in the research article? (number)
18. According to the ‘Notes’, which research hypotheses are most closely related to the
central question of the research? (sentence)
19. Looking at the Results, which of these ‘key’ research hypotheses were supported by a
‘statistically significant’ difference and which were not supported? (1 or 2 sentences).
20. Why do the ‘Notes’ suggest that the phrase in the abstract that ‘...up to 60-70% of
participants decided to comply with the orders or cues being provided.’ could be
somewhat misleading? (short paragraph)
21. What are the main research findings? (short paragraph)
22. Why do the notes describe the discussion about the effectiveness of the R-Order
treatment as an example of ‘ad hoc’ theorizing? (sentence)
23. According to the Notes, what is the main issue in assuming that these results apply to
organizational behaviour? (short paragraph)
