Causal Inferencing
This terms refers to a study that correctly identifies a causal inference for its study population.
What is internally valid?
This research design is ideal for causal inferences.
Randomized clinical trial
This threat to internal validity occurs when the length of the study harms participant performance.
What is maturation?
This threat to internal validity occurs when one study group stops trying because they think they're worse off than the other
What is resentful demoralization?
This term refers to an experiment that correctly identifies a causal inference for those outside it's study population.
What is external validity?
This research design contains data that occurs over time.
What is longitudinal study?
This term refers to when some external event invalidates a study.
What is history?
This threat to internal validity occurs when one group tries harder to overcome their disadvantaged resources.
What is compensatory rivalry?
This condition states X and Y must be correlated for X to cause Y.
What is the relationship condition?
This research design consists of data from a single point in time.
What is cross sectional?
This phenomena occurs when a high performing group becomes closer to average over time.
What is regression to the mean?
This threat to internal validity occurs if the study participants are incentivized for the study to come to a certain conclusion.
What is design contamination?
This condition states X must come before Y for X to cause Y.
What is the temporal antecedence condition?
This research design is used when there are two groups but they are NOT randomly divided.
What is natural experiment?
This threat to internal validity occurs if the two comparison groups are too dissimilar to be compared.
What is selection bias.
This threat to internal validity occurs if participants perform better on the second test just because they looked up the answers after taking the first test.
What is testing?
This condition states something else can't be responsible for causing Y to show X caused Y
What is the lack of alternative explanation?
This research design is used when there are two groups but they ARE randomly split by the researcher.
What is a randomized clinical trial?
This threat to internal validity occurs when a survey changes too many times throughout the duration of the study period.
What is instrumentation?
This threat to internal validity occurs if participants leave the study at differing rates throughout the duration of the experiment.
What is survivorship bias?
