| Feminism | Seeks to counterbalance the androcentric bias inherent in much 'scientific' research. |
| Field Experiment | A field experiment is a study in which you make changes in the independent variable to see how it affects the dependent variable, but otherwise you leave everything in its natural state. For example, an ethologist (someone who studies animal behavior), might put sugar water at different distances from a bee nest in order to observe how the difference in distance affects the dance that the bees do on returning home to communicate where food is. |
| Field notes | Notes taken by researchers to record unstructured observations they make 'in the field' and their interpretation of those observations. |
| Field Study | A field study is a study in which the researcher goes to a research site and observes and asks questions, but does not change anything. It's like a naturalist observing wildlife without doing anything like setting out food to attract animals, or making obstacles to see how the animals react. |
| Field study (field research) | a research method involving observation in natural settings. Field studies vary in the degree the researcher observes or participates. |
| Focus group | An interview conducted with a small group of people to explore their ideas on a particular topic. |
| Frequency distribution | 1. A visual display of numerical values ranging from the lowest to the highest, showing the number of times (frequency) each value occurs. 2. a list of categories of a variable and their corresponding frequencies (the number of occurrences for each category), percents and relative percents. 3. set of categories and the number of cases in each category. |
