Using this method, researchers make observations in a natural setting over a period of time, using a variety of techniques to collect information.
What is naturalistic observation?
100
"Are you in favor of UNF not getting a football team?" is an example of this type of question.
What is negative questioning
100
This variable is another uncontrolled and unmeasured variable that occurs along with the independent variable leading researchers to be unable to determine which variable is responsible for the effect.
What is a confounding variable?
100
When the Strength of the Manipulation increases so does this.
What is the chance of significant effect
100
This is an experiment with more than one independent variable.
What is a factorial design
200
Careful observation of specific behaviors in a particular setting, such as Bandura's "Bobo Doll Study" are examples of this.
What is systematic observation?
200
Responses for these types of questions are harder to code, but are better for knowing what people are thinking and are less likely to influence responses.
What are Open-Ended Questions?
200
Independent variables must have at least this many levels.
What is 2?
200
This manipulation creates a psychological state or simulates a situation in the real world.
What is staged manipulation?
200
A 3 x 3 design has this many levels of the IV
What is 3
300
This approach assigns numerical values to responses and measure and is subject to statistical analyses
What is Quantitative?
300
In this type of sampling the chance of someone being selected can be determined.
What is probability sampling?
300
This, given to each group prior to introduction of the experimental manipulation, assures that groups are equivalent at the beginning of the experiment.
What is a pretest?
300
Galvanic skin response (GSR) is an example of a
What is a physiological measure.
300
This is the effect the IV has on the DV, regardless of the other IV.
What is a main effect?
400
When a researcher decides to participate in the environment in which they are measuring, they are engaging in this.
What is Investigator Participation?
400
In this type of sampling the population divided into subgroups and random samples taken from each.
What is stratified random sampling?
400
With this design, all participants are in every level of the IV.
What is repeated measures or within groups design?
400
Asch's conformity study using lines is a classic example of using these in your experiment.
What are confederates?
400
This is the effect the IV has on the DV, based on the level of another IV.
What is an interaction?
500
This was the type of observational method and the name of the person studied, who was unable to acquire the ability to use language, after being neglected and isolated as a child.
What is the case study of Genie?
500
Evaluation (such as good vs bad),Activity (such as active vs passive), and Potency (such as weak vs strong) all typically included in this scale.
What is a semantic differential scale?
500
This design has participants be grouped by two's to either the dependent measure or a variable that is strongly related to the dependent variable, and then randomly assigned.
What is matched pairs design?
500
Training, running conditions simultaneously, automated procedures and blinding can all help control for this.
What is expectancy problems?
500
This is whether there is an interaction for what is on the board.
