A named category of a variable, such as a person's occupation.
What is a nominal variable?
100
What are traits that preclude someone from participating in the research?
What is exclusion criteria?
100
This measures how successful we are at minimizing the error? Has to do with: stability, repeatability, precision, trustworthiness
What is reliability?
100
This type of validity estimates current status
What is concurrent validity?
100
When working with a participant in a research study, this MUST be obtained before starting.
What is Informed Consent?
200
This type of reasoning begins with observations that are specific and limited in scope, and proceeds to a generalized conclusion that is likely, but not certain, in light of accumulated evidence. Moves from the specific to the general. Can create new knowledge.
What is inductive reasoning?
200
A group of individuals (objects, events, institutions) who share the same characteristic or criteria are called?
What is population?
200
This measures the expected relationship between scores of a test given on two separate occasions?
What is test-retest reliability?
200
In this type of validity there is evidence of a a strong relationship between the measure of interest to measures designed to measure similar constructs.
What is Convergent validity?
200
This is a concept in research ethics which states researchers shall demonstrate a concern for the well-being and safety of the recipients of their service
What is beneficence?
300
Gender is an example of what level of measurement?
What is Nominal?
300
What occurs when the sample either over- or under-represents attributes that relate to phenomena being studied?
What is sampling bias?
300
This assesses correlation between scores on a measure given by two different raters.
What is Inter-rater reliability?
300
This type of validity has a lack of relationship of the measure of interest to measures designed to measure dissimilar constructs.
What is divergent validity?
300
This means to “do no harm.” Researchers must refrain from providing ineffective treatments or acting with malice toward patients
What is non-maleficence?
400
This type of reasoning begins with an incomplete set of observations and proceeds to the likeliest possible explanation for those observations. Typical of medical diagnostics, jury trials.
What is abductive reasoning?
400
What type of sampling would you most likely use if you knew you didn't have a strata of equal size?
What is disproportional sampling?
400
This measure the average of coefficients from correlations of each item with each other on a measure.
What is Alpha's coefficient, KR-20, Cronbach’s alpha?
400
The extent to which a test is subjectively viewed as covering the concept it is supposed to measure.
What is face validity?
400
This concept states that occupational therapists should treat colleagues and other professionals with respect, fairness, discretion, and integrity.
What is fidelity?
500
Give 3 examples of ratios!
Distance, time, age, weight
500
John has a 10% greater chance of being selected than Tim. what type of sampling is this called?
What is nonprobability sampling?
500
Name 3 different ways to maximize reliability of a measure and give examples of each?
Consistency of administration ex- directions, cues, training -Consistency of scoring ex objectivity, accuracy (instrumentation, quantitative) state of person taking test -Test construction -Length of test - Pilot test administration

Ava is doing research on the sensorimotor function between typically developing infants and infants exposed to drugs during utero? Her ability to distinguish between the two groups is known as?
What is known-groups method?
500
Tim is an OT working in a clinic. While doing research to determine the effectiveness of his new and improved e-stim device. The client only used the device for 17 minutes, but Tim just rounded down to 15 minutes because he thought it would be easier to document. What AOTA code of ethics principle did he break and explain why?
What is veracity? C. Record and report in an accurate and timely manner, and in accordance with applicable regulations, all information related to professional activities. D. Ensure that documentation for reimbursement purposes is done in accordance with applicable laws, guidelines, and regulations.
