What is the independent variable?
The outcome we are trying to explain
The dimension that the experimenter intentionally manipulates
The consistency of measurement
A factor that influences both IV and DV
What does reliability refer to?
The ability to predict outcomes
The accuracy of a measurement
The consistency and dependability of a measurement
The degree of freedom in an experiment
What is confounding?
The degree to which a study can establish a causal relationship
The consistency of test scores over time
The manipulation of the independent variable
A situation where an outside variable influences both IV and DV
What is internal validity?
The ability to predict future outcomes
The superficial judgment of a test's effectiveness
The degree to which a study can establish a causal relationship
The consistency of measurements across different observers
What does face validity refer to?
The degree to which a test measures what it claims to measure
The consistency of test scores over time
The superficial judgment of a test's effectiveness
The correlation between two measuring instruments
What is the purpose of a manipulation check?
To ensure the independent variable has an intended effect
To eliminate extraneous variables
To measure the reliability of a test
To assess the validity of a measurement
What is the placebo effect?
The loss of participants from a study
The systematic differences between groups in an experiment
The tendency for extreme scores to regress toward the mean
Changes in behavior due to belief in receiving treatment
What does statistical regression refer to?
The consistency of measurements across different observers
The degree of freedom in an experiment
The systematic changes in how data is collected
The tendency for extreme scores to become less extreme on retesting
What is a double-blind procedure?
Participants know which group they are in
Only the experimenter knows the group assignments
Neither participants nor experimenters know group assignments
Participants are aware of the experiment's purpose
What are extraneous variables?
Variables that are intentionally manipulated
Factors that are not the primary focus but can influence results
The outcome we are trying to explain
The consistency of test scores over time
A type of reliability. It refers to the degree to which different raters or observers give consistent estimates or judgements when assessing the same phenomenon.
Interitem Reliability
Interrater Reliability
Internal Reliability
A type of reliability. It compares scores of people who have been measured twice with the same instrument.
Interitem Reliability
Interrater Reliability
Concurrent Reliability
Test-retest Reliability
A type of validity. It compares on the measuring instrument with another known standard for the variable being studied.
Construct Validity
Concurrent Validity
Face Validity
Corporate Validity
