Ethics
This process takes place after a study, and explains the true purpose to participants.
What is "Debrief"
This variable can be directly manipulated by the researcher in certain experiments.
What is "independent variable"
This type of experiment has the highest level of control.
What is "Reliability"
This method of sampling involves choosing participants that are the easiest to access.
What is "Opportunity Sampling"
This ethical guideline seeks to ensure issues like stress, anxiety, and physical injuries are minimised.
What is "Protection from Harm"
This variable is measured to see the effect that the influence had.
What is "dependent variable"
This type of experiment takes place in a real-world setting.
What is a "Field Experiment"
This type of validity is the extent to which the study's findings can be applied to real-world situations.
What is "Ecological Validity"
This sampling method gives every member of the target population an equal chance of being selected.
What is "Random Sampling"
This guideline allows participants to leave a study at any point without penalty.
What is "Right to Withdraw"
These are variables other than the ones we are investigating that could potentially influence our results.
What are "extraneous variables"
This type of research looks for associations between two variables, and cannot determine whether one causes the other.
What is "Correlational Research"
This type of validity states that the study is measuring what it is claiming to measure.
This sampling method involves advertising your study and waiting for people to respond.
What is "Volunteer Sampling"
This ethical issue occurs when participants are deliberately misled about the aim of the study.
What is "Deception"
This process involves clearly defining how variables are measured and/or manipulated.
In this experiment, the IV is naturally occurring or a pre-exisiting characteristic of the participants.
What is "Natural/Quasi"
This type of validity involves superficially looking at a study and determining whether it looks valid.
What is "Face Validity"
This method is effective in finding participants from hard to access groups.
What is "Snowball Sampling"
This ethical guideline ensures participants know what the study involves before taking part.
What is "informed consent"
When extra variables are not controlled for, they become this variable.
What is "confounding variable"
This type of research can be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured.
What is "Interview"
This type of reliability is when multiple people view the same thing and are in agreement over the results.
What is "Inter Observer Reliability"
This method involves creating groups that are present in the target population, and hiring a percentage of participants that represent that group.
What is "Stratified Sampling"
