Inter-rater reliability

Generalisability
How widely findings apply to other setting and populations
Filler questions
Items put into a questionnaire, interview or test to disguise the aim of the study by hiding the important questions among irrelevant questions so that participants are less likely to walk about the ways of the aim and change behavior
Interview

Over observer is obvious to the participants
Covert observer
The rate of the observer is not obvious bd size they are hidden or disguised
Co variable
A two measured variable in a correlation
Correlation
A research method that looks between two measured variables in a related change In The other (although those changes cannot be assumed to be casual)
Casual relationship
A link between two variables such as the change in one variable is responsible for causes that Change in the othervariable such as In one experiment
Positive correlation
A relationship between two variables in which increase in one accompli big an increase in the other variables increase together
Negative correlation
A relationship between two variables in which and increase in one but a decrease in another n lower scores
A research method that follows a group of participants over time, weeks to decades, looking at changes in the variables experiences such as interviews, drugs, or therapie
Cross sectional study
Compares people to different ages or stages by comparing different group of participants at one point in time

Intelligence Qoutient
A measured of general learning and problem solving ability
Measure of central tendency
A mathematical way to find the typical or average score from a date set, using the mode, median or mean
Random Sample
Participants are Invited to participate (possible participants) are allocated numbers or fixed amount of these are selected in an unbiased, way for ex sole by taking numbers from a hat
