Experiments prove (a) between two variables while correlations simply prove a (b) between two variables
Define a double blind procedure:
A statistical procedure that identifies common factors among groups of items
An experimental procedure in which both the research participants and the research staff are ignorant about whether the research participants have received the treatment or a placebo.
Any effect on behavior caused by the placebo, which the recipient assumes is an active agent, given to the control group in an experiment.
A statement of the procedures used to define research variables.
In an experiement, this is main factor that is being changed/manipulated - the "if" part of the study.
dependent variable
confounding variable
independent variable
illusory variable
Assigning participants to experimental and control conditions by chance, minimizing preexisting differences between those assigned to the different groups.
random sampling
double blind procedure
random assignment
random mugging
In an experiment, the group that is not exposed to the treatment being studied.
experiemental group
random sampling
control group
confounding variable
The perception of a relationship between two factors where none exists
dependent variable
illusory correlation
direct correllation
descriptive statistic
A group that fairly represents a population because each member has an equal chance of inclusion is called
a random assignment
non-biased sampling
a representative sample
a meme
When members of the control group believe they are getting better without the trial treatment, it is called
the hindsight bias
the tarantula effect
the placebo effect
a false positive
In an experiment, the group that is not exposed to the treatment being studied.
experiemental group
random sampling
control group
confounding variable
If the findings of the research showed that the difference between the experimental and control group was relatively large, it would be said that it is
randomized
had confounding variables
statistically significant
had a standard deviation
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
What is the only form of psychological research that can determine cause and effect?
Survey
Longitudinal Study
Correlational Study
Experiment
Comparative Study
Representative Sample
group that has the characteristics that are similar to those in the population
Random Selection
gives every member of population equal chance of being picked to be in experimental group
Random Assignment
ensures all members of the sample have an equal chance of being place into either group
Experimental Group
Receives the IV (treatment)
Control Group
Receives the placebo NOT the treatment
