300
Using a questionnaire to gather data is referred to as this type of method.
What is quantitative methods?
300
The variable that is considered to be the "cause" vs the variable that is considered to be the "effect."
What is Independent vs. Dependent variables? (bonus: what is known as the "third variable problem" or any number of third variables that may be responsible for an observed relationship between two variable? and give an example recognizing all three)
300
Having x% ______ that the true population value lies within this _______ is __________.
What is confidence, interval, and confidence interval? (bonus: what is error in relation to the CI and give examples of CI's for different disciplines)
400
These make up the goals of science.
What are… describe behavior, predict behavior (hyp), determine causation, explain behavior? (bonus, describe and give examples of each)
400
These are the three main types of reliability.
What are Test-retest/Temporal reliability; Internal consistency; Interrater reliability? (bonus, describe and give examples of all three)
400
If you conduct a series of focus groups in which you gather together groups of 8-10 teenagers and engage them perceptions and experiences, you would use this to describe and collect data is this type of method.
What is Qualitative methods?
400
two types of methods of study: the study of relationships between variables where there is direct manipulation and control of variables vs. where relationships are studied by making observations or measures of the variables of interest.
What is Experimental vs. non-experimental methods?
400

These 4 things make up Goodstein's (2000) evolved theory of science.
What are…. 1-Observations accurately reported to others 2-Search for observations that can be used to test theories; 3-Open exchange and competitions of ideas; 4-Peer review of research.?
500
These are the scales of measurement.
What are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio? (bonus, describe all four)
500
Observations of one or more specific variables usually made in a precisely defined setting.
What is Systematic Observation?
