Parts Of Experiment
This is what is changed in an experiment to determine if it has an effect on the outcome.
Independent Variable
Experiments that take place in a real world setting, rather than in a lab setting.
Field Experiment
Unknown or unacknowledged error created during design, measurement, sampling, procedure, or choice of problem studies (Comes from people either wanting to prove her own belief for how things works or by accident in the testing process)
Bias
Variables that are kept constant or unchanged. (Also known as "Constant Variable")
Controlled Variable
anything that can be changed in an experiment
Variable
The group in an experiment which does not receive treatment...used to see if treatment produced results.
Control Group
A natural experiment involves making a prediction/forming a hypothesis and then gathering data through observation.
Natural Experiment
This experiment was carried out around the time of the Adolf Eichmann and sought to determine how willing people are to follow the instructions or orders of a perceived authority figure.
Milgram Experiment
The factor being changed in an experiment to determine if it has an effect is the
Independent Variable
Data that can be (easily) recorded in numbers
Quantitative Data
These are things that are not changed in an experiment.
Controlled Variable
a detailed study of a specific subject, such as a person, group, place, event, organization, or phenomenon.
Case Study
An experiment examining pressure caused by group influence. Actors attempted to trick the participant into giving an incorrect answer based on the length of lines.
Asch Conformity Experiment
The variable being observed for change in an experiment is known as the
Dependent Variable
The action of depriving someone or something of human characteristics or individuality
Depersonalization
The scientific method is an empirical method of acquiring knowledge (Different Steps)
An experiment where all of the factors are held constant except for one: the independent variable.
Controlled Experiment
Was designed to examine the effects of situational variables on participants' reactions and behaviors, in a two-week simulation of a prison environment.
Stanford Prison Experiment
Both variables increase or decrease together. (The more strenuous exercise I do, the better I sleep)
Positive Correlation
As one variable increases, the other decreases. (The more strenuous exercise I do, the worse I sleep)
Negative Correlation
moral principles that govern a person's behavior or the conducting of an activity.
Ethics
Observing and recording variables of interest in a natural environment with no interference or manipulation by the experimenter
Naturalistic Observation
Experiment that demonstrated that classical conditioning could be used to create phobias in children.
Little Albert Experiment
Indicates no relationship between the two variables. (The amount of strenuous exercise I do does not influence my sleep)
No Correlation
Existing in something as a permanent, essential, or characteristic attribute.
Inherent
