The section where design can be found in a research paper.
What is the method section
100
This is the random assignment of participants to conditions
What is randomization
100
The best design descriptions are very detailed and illustrative.
What is FALSE. The best are short and to the point.
100
All of the individuals who agreed to take part in this experiment were carefully placed in either a positive or a negative feedback condition, just like a child disperses petals in a game of "she loves me, she loves me not".
What is BAD
100
The three main types of design, as discussed by Betina.
What is experimental, quasi experimental, and correlational
200
The difference between design and procedure
What is procedure is a more detailed description. Design is a conceptual layout.
200
This occurs when both the participant and the experimenter are unaware of which level of the independent variable is being tested.
What is a double blind
200
Design methods go as far back as almost 200 B.C.
What is TRUE. The use of control groups were first used in the Book of Daniel (167-162 B.C.)
200
Participants were alternatively assigned to the positive and negative feedback conditions.
What is GOOD
200
The difference in between and within participants.
What is within: participants go through all conditions; between: different group of participants for conditions.
300
The three main pieces of information included in the design section.
What is type of design, variables, and participant assignment
300
This is a group or individual that is not being tested, but is used for comparison.
What is control group
300
Information about participant assignment is included in the design section of a research paper.
What is TRUE (but only about assignment, not specifics about participants)
300
The experiment used a 3x2 between-subjects design. The independent variables were self esteem and commercial viewed.
What is GOOD.
300
This is the kind of design in which variables are not manipulated.
What is correlational design.
400
These are also known as factors.
What are independent variables
400
This may be performed by removing sunlight coming in from a window during an experiment with a nontransparent material.
What is blocking off
400
An experiment is called multivariate when it contains more than one independent variable.
What is FALSE (multivariate= more than one dependent variable)
400
30 participants, who were found by the use of an online advertisement, were randomly assigned across conditions in a 2x2 within-subjects design.
What is BAD (only information about participant assignment allowed in design section)
400
The kind of study where attrition becomes a problem
What is longitudinal study (attribution occurs when some participants drop out of a study while others remain)
500
This is the definition for levels
What is the number of values an independent variable has
500
This is a technique in which the experimenter may cover weak background noises with a constant stronger stimulus (like a noisy ventilator).
What is covering (AKA masking/overshadowing)
500
A 3 X 2 X 2 factorial design has three independent variables
What is TRUE
500
Participants were randomly assigned across conditions, which a matter of fact, were loud, medium loud, and quiet.
What is BAD (weird language)
500
This is missing in a quasi experimental design, but it is present in an experimental design.
