Introduction of severe deprivation by Desmond (2015). The introduction will also state some statistics before introducing the two methodologies which are going to be analysed in the paper. The introduction will outline the organization of the essay.
Argument – Case studies are more preferable as compared to comparative studies
Paragraph 2.
Present the first benefit of using case studies-Case studies have in depth research
Crowe et al. (2011) shows that case studies give in depth information.
Koluchova (1972) and Skuse (1984) both show detailed information on their individual case studies. They both research different cases of deprivation and give in depth knowledge on their subjects as well on their findings.
This studies illustrates case studies involve in depth research. Data provided is a lot richer as compared to experimental designs
Paragraph 3.
More recent research suggests infants not born with prototypes but acquire them through observation. Kennedy et al. (2016) and Skeels and Dye (1939) summarize varied dependent variables across other subjects.
Show the difference between case studies and longitudinal studies.
Paragraph 4.
Taylor-Robinson, Smyth, Diggle, " Wjitehead (2013) conducted a comparison study using different effect models to show trends of the effects clearly.
Study shows that longitudinal studies collect data from multiple points. It also shows that longitudinal studies cannot determine a situation despite the current situation between the points.
Paragraph 5.
Koluchova (1972) shows that case studies have a double function while it is hard to embed longitudinal studies with small samples
Paragraph 6.
Scholars gain little value when using null hypothesis. O'Connor " Rutter (2000) and Neupane (2014) ask the right questions in their studies and do not use a null hypothesis.
Supports that case studies are better as compared to comparison studies.
Paragraph 7.
Comparison studies have their respondents act as controls. This is not the case in case studies. Koluchova (1972) collect and analyse data on each twin thus having a more refined assessment.
Supports that case studies are better as compared to comparison studies.
Conclusion
Summarise argument.
Case studies are more preferable as compared longitudinal studies. The section suggest area for further study.
