Method: a method is a procedure agreed on by participants of a discussion or research project. In the case of violations of a method, the comparability of the results is in particular questioned, since these no longer come from a set with uniformly defined properties of the elements.

Maggie Bruck on Method - Dictionary of Arguments

Slater I 106
Method/suggestibility/Ceci/Bruck: Ceci and Bruck (1993)(1) pointed to the differential methodologies in the stress and memory research as a likely reason for the conflicting results – a valid point. One potentially helpful recent differentiation of the methods in child witness research on distress and memory concerns the stressful nature of the stimulus versus the traumatic background of the participants (Goodman, Quas, & Ogle, 2010)(2).
>Psychological stress
, >Memory.
In some studies, the to-be-remembered information is distressing, but the participants may have no known maltreatment history (e.g., Goodman et al., 1997(3); Merritt et al., 1994(4)). In other studies, the memories under examination may be for neutral or mildly positive information (e.g., interactions with adults), but the participants may have been maltreated during childhood (Chae, Goodman, Eisen, & Qin, in press; Goodman, Bottoms, Rudy, Davis, & Schwartz-Kenney, 2001(5)).
