AP Psych Semester 1 Review

The benefit of this descriptive research is that it allows researchers to view naturally occurring behaviors without controlling the situation.

• Natural observation

• Survey

• Case Study

• Correlation

The variable manipulated by the researcher is the

• Dependent Variable

• Independent Variable

• Confounding Variable

• Correlational variable

This is an example of

• Positive Skew

• Negative Skew

• Positive Correlation

• Negative Correlation

The most frequently occurring score in a distribution is known as the

• Range

• Mean

• Median

• Mode

If the findings of the research showed that the difference between the experimental and control group was relatively large, it would be said that it is

• randomized

• had confounding variables

• statistically significant

• had a standard deviation
