when you manipulate the iv to measure the dv in an unfamiliar setting

when you manipulate the iv to measure the dv in a familiar setting

when the experiment's iv is naturally occurring, and cannot be controlled by the experimenter

the factor being changed in an experiment

the event/action that has occurred because the iv has changed

a survey where we gather information with written questions

a type of questionnaire where the answers consist of works or phrases

a type of questionnaire where the answers consist of a number scale

similar to a survey, but instead the conductor gathers information face-to-face

an interview that sticks to a script, and does not ask any follow up questions

an interview that follows a specific theme, but doesn't follow a script

an interview that does use a script, however the interviewee is able to ask follow ups

a study with an individual (or group) over a long period of time, may consist of multiple methodologies

gathering information by watching subjects

an observation where the participants are unaware they're being observed

an observation where the participants are aware they're being observed

an observation where the observer is among the participants being watched

an observation where the observer is not among the participants being watched

an observation where the observer is looking for specific behaviors, and checking them off using a behavioral checklist

an observation where the behaviors of interest/method of observation is not specified before the observation

an observation where the observer observes the subjects in their natural environment

an observation where the observer observes subjects in a controlled environment

a mutual relationship or connection between two, or more things

the variables move in the same direction. meaning, as one variable increases, so does the other one.

a correlation of 0 means there is no relationship between two variables

have the intention of achieving

a proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation

a statistical test in which the critical area of distribution is one-sided so that it is either greater than a certain value (ex: the data of oranges is significantly higher compared to the data of apples)

predicts that the independent variable will have an effect on the dependent variable, but the direction of the effect is not specified (ex: there is a relationship between the data in oranges and apples)

the hypothesis that there is no significant difference between specified populations, any observed difference being due to sampling to error (ex: there is no relationship between the data in oranges and apples)

when the participants take part in all levels of the iv

when the participants rake part in one level of the iv

variables that may change the dv but aren't the dv

the variable in an experiment that has the potential to negatively impact the relationship between the iv and dv

extraneous variables that have to with the participant

extraneous variables that have to do with the place, or setting

measuring by quality

measuring by quantity

a small part intended to show what the whole (targeted group the study is aimed towards) is like

relating to a value or quantity lying at the midpoint on a frequency of numbers

the simple mathematical average of a set of given numbers

the value that has a higher frequency in a given set of values

the area of variation between upper and lower limits on a particular scale

a quantity calculated to indicate the extent of deviation for a group

a function that represents the distribution of many variables as a symmetrical bell-shaped graph

another term for bar graph

a diagram consisting of rectangles whose area is proportional to the frequency if a variable and whose width is equal to the class interval

a type of plot or mathematical diagram using coordinates to display values for typically two variables to display data

which of the choices represents the following: if people can understand the human mind, people can do things in life more effectively (such as control stress, manage time, and study more effectively).

something about the person that is used to explain behavior

something about the situation that is used to explain a behavior

what is nature vs nurture?

which of the phrases match the following: It seems essential that children are used in psychological research in order to gain a better understanding of how the brain and mind develops and how the developmental process can affect a person later in life

match the phrase to the following: they assist in the better understanding of human psychological characteristics which include remembering things and the changes seen in period of strain

the application of the principals of biology to the study of psychological genetic, and developmental mechanisms of behavior in humans

the scientific study of how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, and implied presence of others

a sample that doesn't know they're apart of the sample, these subjects are readily available

a sample where the conductor reaches out to the participant

how familiar/natural the setting is

the extent to which an operationalization of a construct, such as a test, relates to, or predicts, a theoretical representation of the construct- the criterion

the degree to which a test measures what it claims, or purports to be measuring

a type of external validity which describes how well the sample used can be extrapolated to a population as a whole (it evaluates whether a sample represents the population)

subjectivity

objectivity

when participants realize the aim of the study

the ability to apply what we find in a small group to a larger population

whether something is replicable

refers to statistical measurements that determine how similar the data collected by different raters are (a rater is someone who is scoring/measuring a performance, behavior, or skill in a human or animal)

a specific way to measure reliability of a test and it refers to the extent that a test produces similar results over time

a central or typical value for a probability distribution

an approach that focuses on information input, process, retrieval, memory, perception, and language

an approach that focuses on the learning process

apart of the learning approach, focuses on positive/negative reinforcement and punishment. "if you do something and get rewarded for it, you're more likely to do it again"

apart of the learning approach, and associates rewards with actions.

apart of the learning approach, relies on the idea that people learn through observation (ex: maya runs down the stairs and trips while kenzie is watching. now, kenzie is less likely to run down the stairs)
