FACES in the Lab and Faces in the Crowd: Integrating Microcomputers into the Psychology Course.
Peden, Blaine F.
Teaching of Psychology, v13 n2 p85-87 Apr 1986
Describes an exercise that teaches students about methodological issues concerned with making reliable observations of behavior. Students learned Eckman's (1972) Facial Affect Scoring Technique from a microcomputer program and then applied it in real life. This exercise generated much discussion about research methods, built observational skills, and demonstrated an appropriate use of microcomputers. (Author/JDH)
