• Observation

• Correlation

• Experiment

• Interview

When IV and DVs are written in such a way that it is clear what is being measured

• Stratified

• Datarized

• Operationalized

• Correlated

When we do studies outside of the laboratory, in the "real world"

• True Experiment

• Focus Group

• Unstructured Interview

• Field Experiment

One limitation of a field experiment is ....

• null hypothesis

• extraneous variables

• artificiality

• low ecological validity

As one variable increases, the other decreases

• Positive correlation

• Null hypothesis

• Negative correlation

• No correlation

When both variables are affected in the same way. As x increases, y increases.

• Positive correlation

• Negative correlation

• No correlation

• Coincidence

Data are collected which show a relationship between two variables

• Field experiment

• Quasi-experiment

• Correlational study

• Case study

When participants act differently simply because they know that they are in a study.

• Demand Characteristics

• Artificial Validity

• Reliability

• Being fake
