RESEARCH METHODS TEST

IF YOU ARE DESCRIBING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN VARIABLE YOU ARE CONDUCTING A(N)

PSYCHOLOGY IS THE STUDY OF

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WOULD REPRESENT THE STRONGEST RELATIONSHIP

WHEN YOUR BEHAVIOR CHANGES BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU RECIEVED THE MANIPULATION

STUDYING A INDIVIDUAL IN GREAT DEPTH TO OBTAIN QUALITATIVE INFORMATION ON A UNIQUE CASE

DOUBLE BLIND STUDIES CONTROL FOR

IF A RESEARCHER SITS AT A TABLE IN A RESTAURANT AND RECORDS THE BEHAVIOR OF OTHER CUSTOMERS

THE TENDENCY TO LOOK FOR INFORMATION THAT SUPPORTS YOUR BELIEF OR PREDICTION

A GROUP OF RANDOMLY SELECTED SUBJECTS THAT MATCH A POPULATION

IF A PERSON UNKNOWINGLY CONSUMES A NONALCOHOLIC DRINK AND THEN APPEARS/FEELS DRUNK

A TESTABLE PREDICTION ABOUT NEW FACTS BASED ON AN EXISTING THEORY

TO DEFINE IN A WAY THAT IT CAN BE EMIPIRICALLY TESTED (OBSERVED AND MEASURED). WE ARE LOOKING FOR A(N)

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE = CAUSE DEPENDENT VARIABLE = EFFECT

THE FINAL STEP IN THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IS

YOU ARE MOST LIKELY TO GET A REPRESENTATIVE SAMPLE BY USING

AS THE VALUE OF ONE VARIABLE DECREASES, SO DOES THE VALUE OF THE OTHER- THIS IS A

THE VARIABLE THAT IS CONSIDERED THE CAUSE IN AN EXPERIMENT IS THE

THE GROUP THAT RECIEVES THE MANIPULATION/INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

CORRELATION MEANS THE SAME AS

THE GROUP THAT DOES NOT RECEIVE THE INDEPENDENT VARIABLE IS THE

AS THE VALUE OF ONE VARIABLE INCREASES SO DOES THE VALUE OF ANOTHER- THIS IS A

WHEN NEITHER THE RESEARCHER NOR THE PARTICIPANTS KNOW WHO THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP IS

WHEN SHOULD BE WE REPORT THE RESULTS OF OUR RESEARCH

WHAT IS A MAJOR ADVANTAGE OF THE SURVEY METHOD?

ANY CHARACTERISTIC THAT CHANGES FROM ONE INDIVIDUAL TO THE NEXT OR FROM GROUP TO GROUP

A TYPE OF DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH WHERE YOUR ARE OBSERVING HUMAN BEHAVIOR IN ITS NATURAL SETTING

UNOBTRUSIVELY (WITHOUT INTERFERING WITH) STUDYING A GROUP

PHINEAS GAGE, GENIE AND LITTLE HANS ARE ALL EXAMPLES OF

STUDYING A FEW SUBJECTS IN GREAT DEPTH TO INVESTIGATE A RARE CONDITION

THE GREATEST ADVANTAGE OF A CASE STUDY IS

THE MEASURED VARIABLE THAT IS CONSIDERED THE EFFECT IN AN EXPERIMENT IS THE

YOU HAVE DEVELOPED AN OPINION OF WHAT YOU WANT TO OR EXPECT TO SEE IN THE RESEARCH.THIS MAY INFLUENCE YOUR OBSERVATION

IF YOU WERE LOOKING AT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TWO VARIABLE YOU WOULD USE WHAT METHOD?

A POSITIVE CORRELATION INDICATES THAT AS ON VARIABLE GOES UP, THE OTHER VARIABLE

A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT A VARIABLE IS AND HOW IT CAN BE MEASURED IS A

AS THE VALUE OF ONE VARIABLE INCREASES, THE VALUE OF THE OTHER DECREASES

METHOD USED TO SHOW CAUSE AND EFFECT

WHY IS THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD USED IN PSYCHOLOGY?

WHAT DOES A DOUBLE BLIND STUDY HELP TO CONTROL (AVOID)
