  • the internet as Psychological Laboratory
    Annual Review of Psychology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Linda J Skitka, Edward G. Sargis
    Abstract:

    ▪ Abstract This chapter reviews studies published in American Psychological Association (APA) journals from 2003–2004 and additional studies (received in response to listserv requests) that used the Internet to collect data (N=121 total studies). Specific examples of three kinds of Web-based research are reviewed: (a) translational (established methods and research questions are adapted to the Web), (b) phenomenological (behavior on the Web is the focus of study), and (c) novel (methodologically innovations unique to Web-based research). Among other findings, our review indicated that 21% of APA journals published at least one article that reported on Web-based research, most Web-based Psychological research uses experimental methods, a surprising number use college student samples, and deception in Web-based research is not uncommon. Strengths and weaknesses of Web-based Psychological research in general, and our sample of studies in particular, are reviewed with special attention to possible concerns ab...

  • The Internet as Psychological Laboratory
    Annual Review of Psychology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Linda J Skitka, Edward G. Sargis
    Abstract:

    Key Words Internet, methods ■ Abstract This chapter reviews studies published in American Psychological As-sociation (APA) journals from 2003–2004 and additional studies (received in response to listserv requests) that used the Internet to collect data (N = 121 total studies). Spe-cific examples of three kinds of Web-based research are reviewed: (a) translational (established methods and research questions are adapted to the Web), (b) phenomeno-logical (behavior on the Web is the focus of study), and (c) novel (methodologically innovations unique to Web-based research). Among other findings, our review indicated that 21% of APA journals published at least one article that reported on Web-based research, most Web-based Psychological research uses experimental methods, a sur-prising number use college student samples, and deception in Web-based research is not uncommon. Strengths and weaknesses of Web-based Psychological research in general, and our sample of studies in particular, are reviewed with special attention to possible concerns about sampling and the use of deception.

  • research in the Psychological Laboratory truth or triviality
    Current Directions in Psychological Science, 1999
    Co-Authors: Craig A Anderson, James J Lindsay, Brad J Bushman
    Abstract:

    This article examines the truism that studies from Psychological laboratories are low in external validity. Past rational and empirical explorations of this truism found little support for it. A broader empirical approach was taken for the study reported here; correspondence between lab and field was compared across a broad range of domains, including aggression, helping, leadership style, social loafing, self-efficacy, depression, and memory, among others. Correspondence between lab- and field-based effect sizes of conceptually similar independent and dependent variables was considerable. In brief, the Psychological Laboratory has generally produced Psychological truths, rather than trivialities. These same data suggest that a companion truism about field studies in psychology—that they are generally low on internal validity—is also false.
