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

A sample that represents a population because each member has an equal chance of inclusion is known as

• Random sample

• Random assignment

• Random variable

• Random blind study

The disadvantage of this descriptive research method is that single cases can be very misleading.

• Natural observation

• Survey

• Case study

• Correlation

In an experiment, the variable that changes in response to independent variable is known as

• Independent variable

• Dependent variable

• Changing variable

• Control variable

In an experiment, the group with independent variable is known as what?

• Single blind Group

• Control Group

• Experimental Group

• The effect

A carefully worded statement of the exact procedures used in a research experiment is known as

• replication

• operational definition

• hypothesis

• standardization

The group in an experiment that does not have the independent variable is known as what?

• Double blind group

• Outlier

• Experimental group

• Control group

This research method is a measure of the extent to which two variables change together, and thus of how well either variable predicts the other

• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
