Studies
This study by _____ & _____ found that low-status cars received 84% more honks
Who are Doob and Gross?
This type of experimental design eliminates systematic errors
What is a randomization
This type of variable is hypothesized to be the cause of a change in another variable
What is an independent variable?
This term refers to the subset of cases to which a theory applies
What are scope conditions?
The heart of this animal is so large it could fit a human inside of it
What is a blue whale?
The study by ______ created a ____ x ____ factorial design around job applicants
Who is Correll, 2x2 factorial design
This type of experimental design reduces resource waste and allows for the estimation of statistical interactions
What is a factoral design
This variable is hypothesized to be affected by a change in another variable
What is a dependent variable
This type of variable makes two concepts appear linked even when they are not
What is a confounding variable?
This type of experiment is not a "true" experiment
What is a natural experiment?
The Phelan (2005) study looks at or hypothesizes about two theories, what are they?
What are attribution theory and genetic essentialism?
This type of experimental design involves participants being randomly exposed to only one of the study conditions
What is between-subjects design?
This approach starts with an observation and generates an abstract theory or explanation for a social phenomenon
What is an inductive approach?
This occurs when two variables appear related but are actually the result of a third variable
What is spuriousness?
This type of experiment is good for testing applied questions
What are field experiments?
The study by Fast et al. (2012) found this to be true about individuals in high-power/low status roles
That power without status was a catalyst for producing demeaning behaviors
This type of study design invovles participants being exposed to more than one of the study conditions
What is within-subject designs?
This approach starts wtih an abstract theory for social phenomenon and derives and tests an empirical hypothesis derived from that theory
What is a deductive approach
Identifying how a variable or concept will be manipulated or measured
What is operationalization?
A weakness of this type of experiment is that it relies on self-reported information
What is a survey experiment?
The Willer et al. (2013) study used what kind of subject design in study 1?
What is between-subjects ?
The Asch Conformity Experiment used this type of assistant in the experiment to add more control
What are confederates?
This relationship occurs when a change in one thing leads to some sort of change in another
What is a causal relationship?
This term refers to the degree to which results of the study can be generalized beyond the study
What is external validity?
A strength of this type of experiment is that researchers can test more abstract theories and complex processes
What is a lab experiment?
