(Non?) Experimental
The missing elements that differentiate non-experimental from experimental research
What is control and manipulation?
Correlational design has low internal validity
What is little to no control over extraneous variables?
The main goal of naturalistic observation.
What is observing behavior in a real-world setting?
The number of conditions in a 2x2 factorial design
What is four?
Experimental proves _____ and Non-Experimental proves
What is Causation and Correlation?
Types of Non-Experimental Research
What is Correlational, Observational, Archival?
Using existing records/data sets to study patterns over time
What is archival design?
Researchers avoid interference in Naturalistic Observation.
What is to prevent influencing the participant's natural behavior?
Each level of an Independent Variable
What is a factor?
The statistical output used to represent correlation
What is correlation coefficient?
The type of design that has the lowest internal validity
What is non-experimental research?
Non-manipulated IVs are ________, not _____________.
What are measured, not manipulated?
The process of categorizing and organizing data into themes or variables to make it easier to analyze
What is Coding?
The type(s) of graphs that can show a factorial design
What are line graphs?
Examine relationships between multiple variables
What is a complex correlational design?
No manipulation of variables or random assignment
What is Quasi-Experiment?
The correlation coefficient
What is Pearson's r?
The 3 aspects of naturalistic observation
What is Sampling, Measurement, Coding?
This approach of Factorial design is tested in only one condition. It additionally requires only minimal time and effort by participants.
What is a between-subject?
This researcher is the relationship between physical activity and improved academic performance, and the effects of rest. Choose which variable is acting as a mediator
What is the effect of rest?
This design adds a comparison group, but the selection of participants is not random
What is Nonequivalent Control Group Design?
This graph is used to show correlational design
What is scatterplots?
Consistency of measures across different researchers
What is Inter-rater reliability?
The statistical process that shows internal consistency of multiple IVs
What is Cronbach's alpha?
The interaction that is considered the strongest and how it appears on a line graph.
What is a crossover interaction, where lines intersect on the graph?
