Research methods - Part 2

What are the advantages of conducting research studies in a field setting?

• Enhanced ecological validity

• Greater generalizability of findings

• Opportunities for real-time data collection

• All of the above

Do extraneous variables have an impact on research outcomes?

• Extraneous variables have no effect on research

• Extraneous variables can influence research outcomes

• Extraneous variables only affect certain types of research

• The impact of extraneous variables varies based on the research design

Can a study be both longitudinal and cross-sectional at the same time?

• Yes

• No

What does construct validity assess in research studies?

• The consistency of results over time

• How well a measure captures the intended theoretical concept

• The transferability of research findings across cultures

• The generalizability of study results to different populations

What does temporal validity focus on in research?

• The transferability of research findings across cultures

• The consistency of results over time

• How well a measure captures the intended theoretical concept

• The generalizability of study results to different populations

When it comes to cross-cultural validity in research, what's the main dance move it's busting?

• The consistency of results over time

• The funky transferability of research findings across cultures

• How well a measure captures the intended theoretical concept

• The generalizability boogie to different populations
