Once you have collected all of your data and put it into SPSS, this is the next step.
What is cleaning the data?
(Will also accept checking for missing data or looking for outliers in the data).
100
Another name for repeated measures designs.
What is within-subject design?
100
The total number of conditions in a 4 x 3 factorial design.
What is 12?
100
This method is characterized by intensive description and analysis of a single individual using data from self-report, archival data, and clinical observations.
What is the case study method?
100
An important characteristic of a true experiment.
(Hint: there is more than one correct answer)
What is high degree of control?
What is some degree of treatment or intervention is implemented?
What is an appropriate comparison group?
What is an unambiguous outcome regarding what caused an event?
200
This type of visual display is useful for visualizing the general features of a data set, detecting outliers, and comparing sets of data.
What is a stem-and-leaf display?
200
The main way that the repeated measures design differs from the independent groups design.
What is subjects serve as their own controls?
(or they participate in both the experimental and control conditions)
200
The simplest possible complex design.
What is a 2 x 2 design?
200
A disadvantage of the case study method.
(There are a few correct answers)
What is difficulty drawing cause-and-effect conclusions?
What is potential sources of bias on the part of the researcher?
What is problem of generalizing from a single individual?
200
One reason it is difficult to conduct true experiments in natural settings.
(There are two major ones)
What is difficulty getting permission, and random assignment is perceived as unfair.
300
The best measure of central tendency when the frequency distribution includes EXTREME scores.
What is the median?
300
One reason why it's useful to utilize a repeated measures design.
What is fewer participants are needed?
What is it's more convenient and efficient?
What is it's more sensitive than independent groups design?
What is some research questions involve studying changes in behavior over time?
300
The overall effect of an IV in a complex design.
(Hint: type of image in the storybook on body image, and grade on body image, separately)
What is a main effect?
300
In a single-subject design, this is the stage in which a researcher describes behavior before treatment and predicts what behavior in the future will be like with no treatment.
What is baseline stage?
300
This is a threat to internal validity when an event occurs at the same time as the treatment and changes participants' behavior.
What is history?
400
This inferential statistics test is used to determine whether an IV had a statistically significant effect on a DV. It is used when there are three or more levels of the IV.
What is an analysis of variance (ANOVA)?
400
The main disadvantage of repeated measures designs, in which people change if tested repeatedly.
What are practice effects?
400
The combined effect of IVs considered simultaneously; occurs when the effect of the IV differs depending on the level of a second IV.
Hint: Relationship between type of image and grade in school (greater effect of image type for higher grades)
What is an interaction effect?
400
This type of single-subject design is characterized by:
1. Baseline
2. Frequency of behavior decreases during treatment
3. Reverses when treatment is withdrawn
4. Reverses again during treatment
What is ABAB design?
400
Threat to internal validity in which people who score at the extreme on a test, they are likely to perform in a less extreme way on a second testing.
What is regression (twd the mean)?
500
This is what NHST stands for.
What is null hypothesis significance testing?
500
This procedure distributes practice effects equally across conditions.
What is counterbalancing?
500
An interaction effect is likely when a graph that displays the means has these properties.
What is the lines are not parallel (they either intersect, converge, or diverge)?
500
The major ethical dilemma of the ABAB design.
What is the removal of a treatment that is shown to be beneficial?
500
Threat to internal validity where participants naturally change over time throughout the course of a study.
