Observing Behaviour

Good morning, everyone. Today we will look at how to observe behaviour in research. Perhaps you would say it is easy and there is nothing extraordinary. Yes, you may be right. All of us observe behaviour every day. For example, when traveling in another country, we can avoid embarrassment by observing how people behave in that culture. And failing to be observing while walking or driving can be life-threatening.

We learn by observing people's behaviour. Researchers too rely on their observations to learn about behaviour,but there are differences. For instance, when we observe casually, we may not be aware of factors that bias our observations, and, [1] and when we rarely keep formal records of our observations. Instead, we rely on our memory of events. [2]Observations in research on the other hand are made under precisely defined conditions, that is, in a systematic and objective manner, and with careful record keeping.

Then how are we going to conduct observations in our research studies, and what do we need to do in order to make a scientific and objective observation? Now, as you remember, the primary goal of observation is to describe behaviour, but it is in reality impossible to observe and describe all of a person's behaviour. So we have to rely on observing samples of people's behaviour. Doing so, we must decide whether the samples represent people's usual behaviour. Thus, we will first take a brief look at how researchers select samples of behaviour.

Before conducting an observational study, researchers must make a number of important decisions, that's about when and where observations will be made. As I've said before, the researcher cannot observe all behaviour. Only certain behaviours occurring at particular times, in

specific settings can be observed. In other words, behaviour must be sampled. In this lecture, I will briefly introduce two kinds of sampling, that is, time sampling and situation sampling.

Now first, time sampling. Time sampling means that researchers choose various time intervals for their observation. Intervals may be selected systematically or randomly. Suppose we want to observe students' classroom behaviour. Then in systematic time sampling, our observations might be made during five 20-minute periods, beginning every hour. The first observation period could begin at 9 am, the second at 10 am and so forth. [3]However, in random sampling, these five 20-minute periods may be distributed randomly over the course of the day. That is to say, intervals between observation periods could vary—some longer others shorter. One point I'd like to make is systematic and random time sampling are not always used in isolation. They are often combined in studies. For example, while observation intervals are scheduled systematically, observations within an interval are made at random times. That means the researcher might decide to observe only during 15-second intervals that are randomly distributed within each 20-minute period.

[4]Now let's come to situation sampling. Then, what is situation sampling? It involves studying behaviour in different locations and under different circumstances and conditions. By sampling as many different situations as possible researchers can reduce the chance that their observation results will be peculiar to a certain set of circumstances and conditions. [5]Why? Because people or for that manner animals do not behave in exactly the same way across all situations. For example, children do not always behave the same way with one parent as they do with the other parent, and animals do not behave the same way in zoos as they do in the wild.

[6]So, by sampling different situations, a researcher can make more objective observations than he would in only a specific situation.

[7]Having discussed ways to sample behaviour in research, we are now moving onto another issue, that is, what researchers should do to record behaviour as it occurs, that is whether researchers are active or passive in recording behaviour. This refers to the methods of observation. Observational methods can be classified as “observation with intervention” or “observation without intervention”. Observation with intervention can be made in at least two ways, participant observation and field experiment. In participant observation, observers, that is researchers, play a dual role: They observe people's behaviour and they participate actively in the situation they are observing. If individuals who are being observed know that the observer is present to collect information about their behaviour, this is undisguised participant observation. But in disguised participant observation, those who are being observed do not know that they are being observed.

[8]Another method of observation with intervention is field experiment. What is a field experiment? When an observer controls one or more conditions in a natural setting in order to determine the effect on behaviour, this procedure is called field experiment. The field experiment represents the most extreme form of intervention in observational methods. The essential difference between field experiments and other observational methods is that researchers have more control in field experiments.

Now let's take a look at observation without intervention. [9]Observation without intervention is also called naturalistic observation because its main purpose is to describe behaviour as it normally occurs, that is, in a natural setting, [10] without any attempt by the observer to intervene. An observer using this method of observation acts as a passive recorder of

what occurs. The events occur naturally and are not controlled by the observer.

OK, in today's lecture, we have focused on how to make decisions of sampling before beginning our observation, and what we can do during observation. I hope what we've discussed will help you in your future research design.

怎样训练英语专八听力

怎样训练英语专八听力 全国性的英语专业八级考试是一项检验英语专业学生语言能力的考试。该文就听力题型部分进行分析，从实践角度就如何使学生在练习中应用技巧解决难题，提高听力水平提出了一些建议。 怎样训练英语专八听力 （１）选择准确的听力材料 实际上,“听”和“说”不分家的原则也体现在TEM-8考试中。TＥM－8考试听力均选自一般口语性较强、反映现代生活的英语资料。因此,考生可以集中精力多听一些大众媒介英语，进行实战演习。所选听力材料在难度上应低于阅读材料，因为读不懂的东西一般听不懂。来源于报刊、杂志、电影、电视的英语是练习听力的极好的材料。英语专业的学生，特别是高年级学生,可以通过看原版电影或听电影录音剪辑来练习听力。一般学校都会有丰富的音像资料，许多城市还专门开辟了英语电视频道,电视英语新闻对考生应付ＴＥM-8考试第三部分有很大的帮助。 (２）选用恰当的练习方法 练习听力时，大家可采取“精听”和“泛听”两种方式结合来训练自己，前者的重点在于深度，后者则注重广度。精听的目的在于从what，whｏ，ｗｈeｒe, ｗhen, wｈy 和ｈow等角度入手，弄懂与之有关的所有问题,即所有细节性问题;而泛听则是听懂大意即

可。通过这两方面长期不懈的努力，考生最终能获得用英语进行思维的能力。如果能做到用英语思考问题,那么做对几道试题是不会有太多困难的,因为试题从广义上也就分为两大类，局部理解题和通篇理解题,前者属于精听的范畴,而后者则属于泛听的对象。听的目的在于懂，那么，如何衡量自己是否听懂呢?一个行之有效的方法就是“复述”。在听完一个片段后，可将所听的内容重复一遍，如果具有较高的准确度，就说明真正听懂了;否则需要再听一遍,如果连听几遍还无法较为满意地复述，说明所听内容太难，应予以更换。 与此同时，还应通过“读”帮助“听”,特别是在听新闻方面。与其他听力材料相比,新闻具有其鲜明的特点。新闻的内容特别广泛,几乎覆盖生活的各个方面。听英语新闻的最大一个障碍是对新闻词汇的生疏。因此，在学习听新闻的初级阶段,可以阅读一些大众媒体文献,如报纸、刊物，从中积累一些新闻用语,一些重要组织的名称如ＥＥC(Eurｏpean EconoｍiｃComｍunity)欧洲经济共同体、IMF(I ｎterｎationａl MonetａrｙFunｄ）国际货币基金会、ＯPＥC(Or ｇanｉｚatiｏn of ＰetｒoｌeumＥｘporting Ｃｏuｎtｒｉes)石油输出国组织、NＡSA（Naｔional Aeroｎａutiｃs anｄSpac ｅAｄmｉnｉstrａtｉon)国家航空和航天局;单词如upｓurｇe(高涨)、manｏｅuvｒｅ(策略)、ｅscａlation（升级)、allｅgation(断言)等等。对现实生活各个领域的词汇都略知一二是听懂新闻的基础。新闻作为一种语言测试题型也是语言在现实生活中真实运用的体现。在TＥM-8考试中，新闻的内容均为考生所熟悉的一般性政治、经济、

2019 专八真题听力练习Body language and mind Good morning, everyone. In today’s lecture, I‘d like to focus on how our body language reveals who we are. We ’re really fascinated with body language, and particularly interested in other people’s body language. You know, we’re someti interested in an awkward interaction, or a smile, or a contemptuous glance, or maybe very awkward wink, or handshake. So what kind of body language am I talking about? I am interested in 1___________________ — that is the nonverbal expressions of power and dominance. And what are nonverbal expressions of power and dominance? Well, this is what they are. In the animal kingdom, nonverbal expressions of power and dominance are about 2________. So you make yourself big, you stretch out, you take up space and you are basically opening up. And ?and humans do the same thing. So they do this when they ’re feeling powerful in the moment. And this one is especially interesting because it really shows us how universal and old these expressions of power are. For example, when athletes cross the finish line and they’ve won, it doesn’t matter if they’v seen anyone do it. They do this. So the arms are up in the V sign, the chin is slightly lifted. But what do we do when we feel powerless? We do exactly the opposite. 3_________________________. We make ourselves small. We don want’tto bump into the person next to us. And this is what happens when you put together high and low power. So what we tend to do when it comes to power is that we complement the other ’s nonverbals. What I mean is if someone is being really powerful with us, we tend to 4__________________________________.We don’5t________________. We do the opposite. I’mwatching this behavior in the classroom, and guess what I have noticed. I notice that MBA students really exhibit the full range of power nonverbals. They get right into the middle of the room before class even starts, like they really want to 6________________. When they sit down, they ’7re sort of . They raise their hands high. You have other people who are virtually collapsing when they come in. as soon as they, I mean other people, come in, you see it. You see it on their faces and their bodies, and they sit in their chair and they make themselves 8________, and they will not fully stretch their arms when they raise their hands. I
