100
A measure of variability or dispersion of scores

This type of reliability describes the consistency of two or more raters.
Inter-rater reliability

This group does not receive the experimental Independent
the control group
200
In this type of design, the same subjects are used for the control condition, and then at a different time for the IV/experimental condition/s
Within groups design, AKA repeated measures or within-subject design
200
What are the three measures of central tendency?
the mean, the median, and the mode.
200
This type of reliability describes the extent to which scores on a test will differ from one use to another
External Reliability. note: this includes test-retest, alternate-forms, and interrater reliability.
200
the Wechsler and the Binet are examples of what types of tests?
Intelligence tests
200
This type of hypothesis typically states that there is no significant difference in the things being compared
null hypothesis
300
This term states that if a client scores exceptionally low or exceptionally high on a test, then the client with the low score will go up on the next administration, while the client with the high score will go down toward the mean or
regression to the mean
300
What percent of the scores on a normal curve will fall between +/- 2 SD from the mean?
95% of all scores will fall between +/- SD from the mean.

This is used when you are investigating more than one IV/experimental variable.
Factorial Analysis of Variance
400
If the subjects know they are being observed, we refer to the process as an ______ measure
obtrusive or a reactive measure
400
Is a correlation of -.8 stronger or weaker than a correlation of .5?
-.8 is stronger
400
This type of validity assesses whether the research instrument accurately measures the theoretical concept it's designed to measure.
construct validity
400
This test tells you if significant differences are present in the data
F test. note: ANOVA (analysis of varience/one-way) provides F values
400

Type 1 alpha error
500
If the researcher did not manipulate the variable and you are looking at after the fact data, then the research is not a true experiment but rather an _______

This is a type of criterion validity that defines how well a measure correlates with a criterion measured at the same time
concurrent validity
