M1L3 Research method+ experiment

the tendency for subjects to behave in certain ways

• Hindsight bias
• Target population
• Subject bias/ response bias
• Experimenter bias

a factor other than the independent variable that might produce an effect in an experiment

• Dependent variable
• Confounding variable
• Control group
• Experiment

the process of finding and recruiting individuals for the study.

• Variable
• Sample
• Sampling
• Replication

the extent to which the results of the study can be applied beyond the sample and the settingused in the study itself.

• theory
• representativeness
• replication
• generalizability

cues about the purpose of the study. Participants use such cues to try to respondappropriately.

• Demand characteristics
• Placebo effect
• Operational definition
• Experimenter bias

any factor that varies in amount or kind.

• Variable
• Theory
• Sample
• Hypothesis

the unconscious tendency for researchers to treat members of the experimental and controlgroups differently to increase the chance of confirming their hypothesis.

• Experimenter bias
• Sampling bias
• Hindsight bias
• Response bias

A variable whose values are the result of changes in independent variables

• Control group
• Confounding variable
• Third variable
• Dependent variable

the group of individuals taking part in the research study.

• population
• Sample
• Control Group
• Sampling

A research method that manipulates one independent variable (IV) and then looks for aneffect on a dependent variable (DV), while other potentially important variables are controlled

• experiment
• correlational studies
• case study
• survey
