• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments

This is a method of research where the researcher carefully and systematically observes and records behavior without interfering

• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey

This is a method of research where an investigator manipulates one or more factors (independent variables) to observe the effect on some behavior or mental process (the dependent variable).

• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational

• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey

The advantage of this descriptive method of research is that the strict control of variables offers researchers the opportunity to draw conclusions about cause and effect relationships.

• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational

The disadvantage of this method of descriptive research is that the research may not be a representative sample of the general population and doesn’t yield reliable conclusions about behavior.

• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments

Independent variable is to dependent variable as _________ is to ____________.

• hypothesis | conclusion

What is replication?

• cloning the scientist who first did an experiment

• doing an experiment for the first time

• doing an experiment again and getting different results

• Doing an experiment again and getting the same results

If an experiment doesn't provide the same results, it could mean...

• the first experiment was fine, publish the results

• the first experiment was flawed, retest

• the second experiment is fine, publish the results

• the second experiment was flawed and must be thrown out
