{"Image DocumentName": "What are the methods of research in developmental psychology?", "Image ImageDescription": "A case study is an intensive study of one individual. Typically, the case study is based on interviews with the subject regarding his or her background, present thinking or actions; it may also utilize interviews of others who know the individual. Additional case study material may be obtained through observation, experiments, and standardized tests, such as personality inventories and intelligence tests (Baron et al., 1998, p. 21). A topical research study involves the acquisition, synthesis, organization and presentation of information. Typically, the topical research study will involve both paper-based as well as web-based resources. Additional information may be gained through the other research methods and strategies. Survey research involves going out and asking, or sending out, questions about the phenomenon of interest. The survey method is especially useful for collecting data from a large number of people and is often the only way of obtaining data about thoughts, feelings, and private behaviour not open to direct observation (Alcock et al., 1999, p.21).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
