What is an independent variable?

The variable that is manipulated; the variable that is presumed to come first in a correlational study and has an effect on the DV.

100
A _________is an independent variable.
A factor
100

________is a statistical estimate of the size or magnitude of a treatment effect.

Effect Size

100

Researchers repeat published studies to confirm the results in the process known as_________

Replication

100
What kind of variable is manipulated in a study?
What is the independent variable
200
Dependent variable
What is variable that is influenced the the independent variable; occurs after the IV. OR the outcome measure in a study. The variable that is being measured.
200
A ___________ is an interaction among three or more IVs.
higher-order interaction
200

A design where there is one IV with two levels and subjects are randomly assigned to one of the two conditions. There is a treatment and a control group. 

Two Independent Groups Design 

Or 

True Experiment

200

Participants agree to participate in a study after receiving information about the nature, risks, benefits, and purpose of the study. This is called:

Informed Consent

Dr.Warren is conducting a factorial ANOVA. She has the following Factor Notation: 2X3X3. How many IVs does she have? How many total groups are there?

3 IVS 18 groups total

300

Why is matching used?

To control for the effect of extraneous variables.

Name three (3) reason why Zimbardo's Stanford prison experiment was unethical


Violated Respect for persons, Beneficence, etc.

Harmed participants

Violated confidentiality

**Daily Double**

Name two types of reliability.

Inter-rater, inter-item, test-retest reliability

400
Name and describe three (3) types of reliability.
1.)Interrater reliability is the degree to which observers agree in their measurement ?of the behavior. 2.) Test-retest reliability means the degree to which a person's scores are consistent across two or more administrations of a measurement procedure. 3.) Inter-item reliability measures the degree to which different parts of an instrument (questionnaire or test) that are designed to measure the same variable achieve consistent results.

What is a post hoc test and why is it used?

ANOVA test tells you whether you have an overall difference between your groups, but it does not tell you which specific groups differed - post Hoc tests do. Post Hoc tests indicate which group means are statistically significantly different from one another.

400

What is the minimum number of participants needed in each group of a between subjects design to detect a strong treatment effect?

10-30 participants per group

400

Data are empirical when they are_____, _____, and  _____


observable or experienced, and verifiable through investigation.


400

Define cross-sectional and longitudinal designs.

Cross-sectional: is a research method where data are collected at the same time from people in different age categories.

Longitudinal: the study of changes in individual or group behavior over an extended period of time by repeatedly monitoring the same subjects.

H1: Participants in the therapy treatment condition or medication & therapy condition will have lower mean depression scores than those in the control condition. 1.) What is the IV and DV. 2.) What scale of measurement is the DV? 3.) What statistical analysis should be conducted?

1.) IV- Treatment conditions DV- Depression score. 2.) Interval or ratio 3.) One-way ANOVA

Emily would like to conduct a Factorial Anova In SPSS, but is unsure how to do so. Brief explain to her. She needs to click.Analyze->__________, then _________->

Analyze-> General linear model-> Univariate.

You receive the following results from a t-test: Test value=4 

t=5.87

df=600 

sig=.021

Report this in apa style.(I.e t and p value) Is this test significant?

t(600)= 5.87, p< .05. Yes, it is significant

500

Name 3 characteristics of a good hypothesis

Testable

Falsifiable

Accurate

Define and describe the balancing technique for controlling physical extraneous variables.
Balancing controls extraneous physical variables by equally distributing their effects across treatment conditions. For example, running half of the subjects ?in each condition in the morning and half in ?the evening.
