Describe how you might conduct a study on stress using (a) an experiment, (b) a case study, and (c) archival research

What will be an ideal response?


a–In an experiment, you would create different levels of stress in at least two groups and see how they differed. People would be placed in different groups randomly. You specify the groups associated with the IV and measure the DV.
b–In a case study, you study a single individual (or a few) in great depth. To study stress, you would keep detailed notes about the conditions in which the person experienced stress and how he or she coped, along with other reactions.
c–In archival research, you could identify some naturally occurring event and see how it affected people in terms of stress, such as increases in admissions to psychiatric facilities, death or suicide rates, divorces, or other records that could be associated with stress
