Material Detail

Hello! This 4 1/2 minute Introduction to Sociology video explains two common concepts in research: reliability and validity. We explore examples and examine how these two concepts are interrelated. We also reflect on their everyday applications of these concepts beyond science 🌍

Reflection Questions 🤔 Feel free to post your thoughts in the comments ✏️ 1. How can you determine the reliability of research studies reported in media outlets? 2. How might your personal biases impact the research papers you write for class? 3. What types of questions might you ask yourself about validity when watching the news?
