Surveys
Factorial
100
This scale of measurement provides the most information
Ratio scale
100
In this type of quasi-experimental/pre-experimental design, one group is tested several times before and after a treatment
time-series
100
This type of research is used to infer something about human behavior based on evidence left behind.
archival research
100
This bias occurs when respondents have a tendency to present themselves in a favorable way when responding.
social desirability bias
100
Factorial designs have two or more of these
IVs or factors
200
A mean should not be used as a measure of central tendency for these two scales of measurement.
nominal and ordinal
200
This type of pre-experimental design, has the lowest validity
one shot design
200
A major disadvantage of small-n designs is that they have very low _______.
generalizability (external validity)
200
Survey research is primarily used to ask ________ research questions.
descriptive or predictive
200
Factorial design results consist of interactions and these
main effects
300
This measure of central tendency is most affected by outliers
Mean
300
Pre-experimental designs cannot determine this, but quasi-experimental designs can sometimes determine this if they have carefully controlled for alternative explanations
causation
300
This small-n design has the lowest validity
AB design (baseline method)
300
A question with emotionally laden terms is called this, and should be avoided
loaded question
300
How many levels of the 2nd IV does this design have: 2x3x2
3
400
This measure of the spread of the data quantifies the variation in the means from multiple sets of measurements (multiple samples).
standard error
400
In this quasi-experimental/pre-experimental design, two groups are tested once
non-equivalent control group
400
_____ evidence refers to tangible remnants indicating past behavior, such as worn-out floor tiles or discarded wrappers, which suggest patterns of use or non-use.
physical trace
400
For this type of non-probability sampling participants are asked to identify other participants
snowball sampling
400
A 2x3x2 design has this many possible outcomes
12
500
These types of inferential tests are the most powerful, but they require the most assumptions about the data.
Parametric
500
For a time series design, this is the most common confound
history effect
500
This small-n design is used to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention by introducing it in sequential stages, each with a specific behavioral goal (E.g., Sniffy the rat)
changing-criterion design
500
For this type of validity, the results are evaluated to determine if they accurately measure the concrete outcome they were designed to measure
criterion validity
500
What effects (main and interaction) are significant in the following:
interaction effect only
