147 Words1 Page

Although I have not had a chance to help or conduct a research, I think all methods of study contain a bit of bias. After, researchers and scientists are human. Anyhow, random assignment is a useful technique yet, it is important to consider other possible methods of assignment and to work out which one will beneficial for the study the most before committing to one type of method since there many types of samples. For instance, if the experiment were to look at the treatment of depression using Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatment and drug therapy, it would be hard to randomly allocate the groups. Studies have shown that people with severe, chronic depression recover better than those with mild depression when it comes to ECT treatment.

My research project - before my panel talk – covered a list of most common mental illnesses and the drugs associated with them. However, after meeting with the teachers that make up my panel I have realized that my project would be too broad and needs to be narrowed down to either one mental disorder or to a certain drug employed to treat mental illnesses. Therefore, thanks to the help of my panelists, I have decided change my research to one mental illness – depression. Why research depression and the medicine associated with it?

  • Depressing Studies

    237 Words  | 1 Pages

    In my opinion, conducting studies on many different people can definitely be challenging, because there are several types of behaviors to look into. For example, people that have been victims of a crime, court and law enforcement professionals, and members of the general public should not be hard to interact with, because there is nothing to feel irritated for.

I can understand that even though it might be hard to study them it is still necessary, so we can learn how and why they behave in that certain way and that will help us come up with solutions to control certain crimes. The type of depressing studies I was referring to
