Experimental Design
Each participant is only exposed to one level of the IV
What is a between-subject design?
In this design, there are two independent variables, each with two levels, resulting in a total of four unique conditions for experimentation.
What is a 2x2 design?
In research, this term describes designs that resemble true experiments but lack random assignment, often used when ethical or practical constraints exist.
What is quasi-experimental?
This research method involves studying individuals of different ages at a single point in time.
What is a cross-sectional method?
Focuses on understanding human behavior and experiences through detailed narratives. It emphasizes the context and meaning behind actions, allowing researchers to capture rich, descriptive data that quantitative methods may overlook.
What is Qualitative Research?
This type of design allows researchers to compare outcomes before and after an intervention in the same group, helping to control for confounding variables.
What is a pre-and post-test design?
This refers to the individual impact of one independent variable on a dependent variable, holding other variables constant in a factorial study.
What is a main effect?
A type of quantitative research that involves studying in detail the behavior of a small number of participants (2-10 ppl)
What is Single-Subject Experimental Design?
One challenge with longitudinal studies is participant dropout, which reduces ____
What is sample size?
his type of qualitative interview offers flexibility with predetermined questions, allowing the interviewer to follow up based on responses.
What is a semi-structured interview?
this is also known as the Repeated-Measures Design
What is Within-Subject Design?
This occurs when the effect of one independent variable on the dependent variable differs depending on the level of another independent variable in a study.
What are interaction effects?
This design introduces treatment/manipulation to the participants at different time points, on different skills, or in different settings
What is Multiple Baseline Design?
The combined approach that begins with a cross-sectional design and follows cohorts over time.
What is the sequential method?
The first step in thematic analysis, involving reading and re-reading the data to become grounded in it.
What is familiarization?
In this design, all participants are exposed to multiple conditions at the same time, allowing for direct comparisons of effects without the need for separate groups.
What is a simultaneous within-subject design?
This type of independent variable is intentionally changed by researchers, allowing causal conclusions.
What is a manipulated independent variable?
These five main threats can compromise the internal validity of one-group quasi-experimental designs.
What are history, maturation, testing, instrumental decay, and regression toward the mean?
This largest study in the U.S. tracks the brain development of children ages 9-10 over time
What is the ABCD Study?
This level of community involvement in PAR involves researchers seeking feedback from the community through surveys or focus groups, but with limited community decision-making power.
What is consultation
These effects occur when the treatment administered in one condition influences participants' responses in subsequent conditions, potentially biasing the results.
What are carryover effects?
When factorial designs include both manipulated and non-manipulated variables, the study is classified as this type.
What is a mixed factorial design?
This design has a baseline phase followed by separate phases in which different treatments are
introduced.
What is an ABCA design?
Growing up with social media has shaped Gen Z's communication styles and mental health uniquely compared to previous generations, demonstrating this effect in developmental research
What is cohort effects?
This method in YPAR uses photography to express participants' perspectives on community issues.
What is photovoice?
