Variable that you manipulate in experimental research
independent variable
An interview in which you follow a script and ask questions a specific way every time is known as a_____ interview
Structured
Variable that you measure in experimental research
Research that results in non-numerical data
Qualitative Research
Major drawback of correlational research
No causation
Taking a sample of individuals who happen to be nearby
Convenience sampling
Testing participants in different orders or presenting each participant with something in a different order every time
Counterbalancing
Assesses the relation between 2 unmanipulated variables
Correlational research
Research that lacks the manipulation of the IV
Non-experimental research
Holding constant extraneous variables
Control
Different levels of an independent variable are known as what in experimental research
The inaccurate prediction made by the Literary Digest about the 1936 election was due to
Sampling bias
True or false: You can not turn qualitative data into quantitative reporting
False
In the bystander effect study, what did the researchers manipulate?
Number of people present
This type of order effect means that participants may get better over time
Practice effect
Sometimes referred to small-n designs
Single-subject research
In this design, each participant is only tested in one condition or presented with one condition
Between-subjects
People behave differently when they know they are being watched is known as
In this design, each participant is tested under all conditions or presented with all conditions
Within-subjects design
Type of observational research in which you watch subjects in the environment where their behavior typically occurs
Naturalistic
Groups created without randomly assigning participants
Non-equivalent groups
Set of measurements taken over time with an intervention
Interrupted Time Series Design
I am interested in how exam time (30 mins, 40 mins) and classroom noise (silent, medium noise, loud noise) impacts student grades. How would I write out this design in numbers?
2 X 3
Effect of 2 or more independent variables measured together
Interaction effects
Between experimental and nonexperimental research in that a control group is missing or there is no random assignment
Quasi-experimental research
