That's a spicy definition

What is a construct?
This is a test of homogeneity of variance
What is Levene's test?
What are:
Observer, experimenter, demand characteristics, acquiescence, measurement, selection, volunteer, WEIRD demographics...
Measures of central tendency for the data set: 4, 5, 8, 8, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4
What are:
Mode: 4
Median: 4
Mean: 5
Explain what you see on a z-table
What is chunks of the distribution/a segment of the area under the curve/percentile & a z-score
This is an inference or explanation about one or more phenomenon
What is a theory?
Describe 4 ways you can decide what statistical test to use
What are:
1. Number of groups
2. Parametric or non-parametric data
3. Number of IV's/DV's
4. Design (within, between...)
5. Variance between the groups
These can be defined as: sensitive to outliers, restricted range, 3rd variables, correlation does not equal causation, problem of bidirectionality
What are the issues with a correlational design?
With a variance of 3.25, an N of 9, and average of 5 calculate the standard deviation
What is the square root of 3.25
This is setting your alpha & stating at what point you would accept or reject your null (if it falls outside our critical values)
What is a decision rule?
This is a testable question or statement based on a real world phenomena
What is a hypothesis?
The theoretical comparison in an ANOVA
What is explained group variance over unexplained variance?
This type of hypothesis has more power
What is a one directional hypothesis
Name the data you need to calculate the SEM
What is the Standard Deviation and the N value
Seeing this at the end of your statistical analysis would mean that you have failed to reject the null; more specifically it would mean 50% of the time the results occured by chance
p = .50
What are operational definitions?
When running a statistical analysis, the p-value tells you this - but does not tell you this
What is the p value tell you the probability that your results occur by chance but it does not tell you if your experiment was "good" or meaningful
This means your research is double-blinded, randomized, and placebo controlled
What is the gold standard of research?
Explain the data needed to standardize 2 scores
What is the average, the standard deviation and the individual scores
This means that 2 variables have no relationship; for example: shoe size and hair colour
What is a 0 correlation?
This is the ability to detect an effect
What is power?
This is where the true mean will fall in the population a certain percentage of the time
What is the Confidence Interval?
There are many reasons psychologists like normal curves, think of 1
What is:
Most physiological and psychological variables fall on a normal curve, shows where you fall in relation to other, means there are no significant outliers
These are the ingredients for a confidence interval
What is the SEM, average, confidence percentage and a z-score
Unique personal identifier numbers, collecting a limited amount of personal data, destroying data, double-blinding
What are ways we protect participant anonymity?
