Research Methods
What is an experiment?
Publishing a list of participants names with the results of a research study violates this ethical principle
What is confidentiality?
Describe the correlation:
If more time is spent studying, exam scores tend to go up
What is a positive correlation?
Type of research method that provides an in-depth picture of a single subject
What is a case study?
Analyzes how culture, social norms, and social environments influence behavior.
what is Evolutionary
Process that ensures participants have an equal chance of being in either the control group or experimental group
What is random allocation/assignment?
The right of participants who do not wish to complete a study they began
What is right to withdraw?
The question "which of the following is your favorite school subject" produces this type of data
What is quantitative data?
These are important when researchers want to be able to replicate an experiment
What are operational definitions?
Focuses on observable behaviors and the ways they're learned through interaction with the environment.
what is behaviorism
An uncontrolled variable that hides or exaggerates differences between levels of the IV
What is a confounding variable?

What is the independent variable (IV)?

Describe the relationship:
A negative correlation between hunger and concentration
as hunger increases, concentration tends to decrease OR

Examines internal mental processes such as thinking, memory, and problem-solving.
what is cognitive
Statistical measure used in correlational research to quantify the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
What is Correlation Coefficient
what is confidentiality
can distort the true effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable, making it difficult to determine causality.
what is confounding variable
Sampling technique that produces the most generalisable data
What is random sampling?
Explores how unconscious drives, conflicts, and childhood experiences shape behavior.
