Frequency, Central Tendency, Variability
100
The extent to which the research is conducted in situations similar to everyday life.
What is ecological validity?
100
Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
What is domain sampling?
100
Use this to measure effect size for a contingency table greater than 2X2.
What is Cramer's V?
100
As number of close friends increases, loneliness decreases.
What is a negative correlation?
100
The proportion of calls made home per week.
What is relative frequency?
200
When participants know they are being watched and do not act naturally.
What is reactivity?
200
How do you feel about study for the exam and writing your third project paper?
What is a double-barreled question?
200
Use chi-square when both variables are measured on this scale.
What is nominal?
200
The proportion of variability in Y not account for by X.
What is coefficient of alienation/nondetermination?
200
Use the measure of central tendency when you have an ordinal scale.
What is the median?
300
Influence the behavior of those who you are observing.
What is loss of objectivity?
300
I don't like that you don't want to go with me to church.
What is use of a double-negative?
300
This chi-square is performed when we are interested in whether the frequencies across levels of a single variable in the population are evenly distributed across categories.
What is the chi-square goodness-of-fit test?
300
One or more extreme scores in a data set that may distort the correlation coefficient.
What is an outlier?
300
I am what is left when you chop off my upper and lower 25%.
What is the IQR?
400
Hiding outside a professor class door to record how many times he cusses during class (type of concealment, participation).
What is disguised, nonparticipant (unobtrusive)?
400
How many nasty messages did you tweet to The Bert Show yesterday?
What is a leading question/assumption?
400
How to compute an expected value in a chi-square test of independence.
What is divide the CMF/N and multiply by the RMF?
400
Point in a regression of Y on X where the line crosses the Y axis.
What is the intercept?
400
I represent the balance point of a distribution.
What is the mean?
500
Observer intervenes to set up a situation or "cause and event to occur."
What is structured/contrived observation?
500
The chi-square should not be performed if the expected value in any one cell is less than this number.
What is 5?
500
Approach to locate the “best-fitting” line so that the sum of the squared distances between actual Y values and predicted Y values is minimized.
What is the least squares approach?
500
I am an index of the average distance a score is from its mean.
What is standard deviation?
