What is the most appropriate approach to directly quote a source in a different language?

Translated text with quotation marks and reference to source

Cannot be generalized to military officers.

Inferential statistics requires (that):

A random sample with random errors.

When Thomas Kuhn speaks of “scientific revolutions”, he refers to:

the replacement of one paradigm by another paradigm

Why are natural experiments not considered to be ‘true’ experiments?

They do not allow for random assignment

When a moderator has a distorting impact, it means that:

It reverses the effects of teh causal factors

When encountering a case that contradicts theoretical expectations, this creates the most serious problems for:

Deterministic causal explanations

A mediator between liberal norms & the decision about war/peace

What can Cronbach’s alpha be used for?

To test the measurement reliability

The term structured observations refers to:

A set of rules for assigning observations to categories

The size of the increase is smaller than the sampling error.

Double-barreled questions should be avoided in questionnaires because:

They ask about two different aspects.

Low random error and no systematic error

Conceptualization refers to:

An abstract, theoretical definition of a concept

An exploratory method of data analysis

2 x 2 x 2 (between-participants) factorial design

we can establish that variable X is an independent cause of variable Y if the following conditions are fulfilled except:

A change in X happens at the same time as a change in Y

Case selection and sampling tend to follow a very different logic but share one important step or aspect:

Defining the full universe of cases

8
Why are natural experiments not considered to be ‘true’ experiments?
They are always conducted in natural settings
They do not allow for random assignment
They lack control over extraneous variables
They always involve human subjects
9
When a moderator has a distorting impact, it means that:

Deterministic causal explanations
Correlational analyses
Descriptive statistics
Probabilistic causal explanations
11
stay focused
Influenced solely by economic factors in their decision about war/peace
