Patten, Topic 17 - Preparation to be Critical
First don't assume results of every study to be facts. presume they are flawed, offering degrees of evidence
some are methodologically superior to others
assess quality of each to be cited
look at sampling - weakness limits generalization of the results
measurement instrumentation
various methods of a given variable might lead to different results
look at limitations of sampling choices
applies to experiments only: often inappropriate control conditions - rewards may have effects in the natural environment different from those in a laboratory setting
are limitations discussed in last section?
