100
Type of sampling in which you develop an accurate sampling frame, select a mathematically random procedure, and then locate the exact element that was selected for inclusion in the sample.
What is a simple random sample?
100
This type of question is unstructured. It is a free-response.
What is open-ended?
100
The parts of an experiment include: Treatment (IV) DV pretest posttest experimental group control group and this term:
What is random assignment?
100
A set of instructions or rules on how to systematically observe and record content from text.
What is a coding system?
100
The most comprehensive and widely used measure of dispersion, but difficult to compute by hand.
What is standard deviation?
200
Distribution of different samples that shows the frequency of different sample outcomes from many separate random samples.
What is sampling distribution?
200
A special type of contingency question. You first ask respondents whether they have an opinion, then you ask for the opinion of those who stated that they have an opinion.
What is a full-filter question?
200
These designs, like the classical design, make identifying a causal relationship more certain than do preexperimental designs. Specifically, they help to test for causal relationships in situations in which the classical design is difficult or inappropriate.
What are quasi-experimental designs?
200
The strength or power of a message in a direction, when conducting a structured observation.
What is intensity?
200
This is a statistical term that describes one variable.
What is univariate statistics?
300
In systematic sampling, your first step is to number each element in the sampling frame. Instead of using a list of random numbers, you calculate this.
What is a sampling interval?
300
Titles or positions in society carry prestige or status. The term for this issue in surveys is called this.
What is prestige bias?
300
Comparing two different groups of participants.
What is between-groups?
300
Also known as semantic analysis, this is when you look for the underlying, implicit meaning buried in the content of a text.
What is latent coding?
300
Also called a standardized score, this expresses points or scores on a frequency distribution in terms of a number of standard deviations from the mean.
What is a z-score?
400
For this type of sampling, you first divide the population into subpopulations on the basis of supplementary information.
What is stratified sampling?
400
An example of this is in a survey that reads, "What do you think about a policy to pay murderous terrorists who threaten to steal the freedoms of peace-loving people?"
What is emotional language?
400
A comparison in experimental research in which you compare the same person over multiple points in time (e.g., before and after completing a training course).
What is within-participants?
400
Where you notice selective wear as a measure.
What are erosion measures?
400
This is when you gather the information, then transfer it from the original source onto a grid format.
What is a code sheet?
500
A table of numbers chosen in a mathematically random way.
What is a random-number table?
500
When respondents distort answers to make their reports conform to social norms.
What is social desirability bias?
500
Someone who pretends to be another research participant or bystander but who actually works for the researcher and deliberately misleads participants.
What is a confederate?
500
Any written, visual, or audio medium of human communication.
What is text?
500
This term describes the opposite of covariation. It means there is no association or no relationship between variables.
What is independence?
