Catch up with the recording from RPPL’s May 2022 Brown Bag about how leveraging reciprocity, cognitive dissonance, and similarity might lead to better data collection and higher-quality research findings.
Whether you are collecting surveys from students, trying to assess the fidelity of a teacher professional development intervention, or just collecting exit tickets to see how today’s class went, challenges in data collection abound. While there are no magic bullets, (social) psychology offers some ideas that might help with everything from boosting your response rates to instantiating a culture that appreciates data. In this conversation, Dr. Hunter Gehlbach, Professor & Vice Dean at the Johns Hopkins School of Education presented the core principles of reciprocity, cognitive dissonance, and similarity and discussed how potentially leveraging these ideas might lead to better data collection and higher-quality research findings.
