Any event, situation or behavior that varies.
What is a variable?
100
The design in which participants serve as their own controls.
What is within-subjects (or repeated measures) design?
100
Changes in the dependent variable due to normal growth and development.
What is maturation?
100
Hair color is an example of this kind of data.
What is nominal data?

A procedure or condition that impinges on an individual’s freedom to consent (or decline) to participate in a study.
What is coercion?
200
"60% of Americans prefer chocolate over vanilla" is an example of this kind of claim.
What is a frequency claim?
200
When every participant has an equal chance of being placed in the experimental condition.
What is random assignment? (BONUS 100 points if you can describe the difference between random assignment & random sampling)
200
The degree to which an instrument consistently measures the same variable.
What is reliability?
200
This is an example of ordinal data. (come up with an example)
What is grade in school / birth order / etc?
200
Site of the infamous syphilis studies that caused concern over ethics in medical research.
What is Tuskegee?
300
"Students with higher anxiety tend to perform worse on exams" is an example of this kind of association.
What is a negative (or inverse) association?
300
Longitudinal studies are particularly vulnerable to this kind of threat to internal validity.
What is attrition/mortality, testing effects or history?
300
A form of validity that relates to whether the methods of studying the variables (the operational definitions) are accurate.
What is construct validity?
300
This s the definition of a variable in terms of the actual procedures used by the researcher to measure and/or manipulate it.
What is operational definition?
300
The three main principles outlined in the Belmont Report.
What is respect for persons, beneficence, and justice?
400
After receiving a flu shot, half of the study participants were asked to exercise for 30 mins, while the other half rested. The participants were then tested for amount of flu antibodies in their blood. In this study, exercise is this kind of variable, and has this number of levels.
What is manipulated; 2 levels (exercise & rest)?
400
An experimenter gives a survey to his friends and discovers that men are more likely than women to study in the library. These are the reasons why this study is NOT an experiment (name at least two).
What is no manipulated variable, no random sampling
400
This is the definition of criterion-related validity.
What is the extent to which a measure is related to important outcomes?
400
This is the difference between ratio and interval data.
What is ratio data has an absolute zero?
400
This is the relationship between science and culture (describe how the two are related and implications for ethics)
What is values guide science, science is embedded in culture, values emerge from science?
500
"Women re-gift at a 50% greater rate than men" is an example of this kind of claim.
What is an association claim?
500
These are the three rules of causation.
What is covariance, temporal precedence and internal validity?
500
The assessment of the reliability and validity of this data.
What is moderate-high reliability and low validity?
500
These are the types of operationalization (name at least 2).
What is physiological, observational, and self-report?
500
This is what Brescoll & LaFrance's study discovered.
What is the ways that research is contextualized affect people's real-world beliefs?
