Chapter 11 Flashcards
Quasi experiment
Has some features of an experiment, but Lacks key aspects of experimental control
One group post test only design
A treatment occurs and afterword the dependent variable is measured once
One group pretest posttest design
A dependent variable is measured once before and once after a treatment occurs
Simple interrupted time series design
A dependent variable is repeatedly measured at periodic intervals before and after a treatment
Selection interactions
The interaction of a selection with another thread to internal validity
Post test only design with a non-equivalent control group
Participants and one condition are exposed to a treatment, anon equivalent group is not exposed to the treatment, and scores from both groups are obtained after the treatment ends
Pretest posttest design with a non-equivalent control group
Pre-and post treatment scores are obtained for a treatment group and a non-equivalent control group
Interrupted time series design with a non-equivalent control group
A series of pre-and post treatment scores are obtained for a treatment group and a non-equivalent control group
Switching replication design
One group receives a treatment, and a non-equivalent group initially does not receive the treatment but I stand exposed to it later in time
Program evaluation
Involves the use of research methods to assess the need for, and the design, implementation, and effectiveness of a social intervention
Needs assessment
Determines whether there is a need for a social program and the general steps required to me that need
Program theory and design assessment
Evaluates the rationale for why a program has been, or will be, designed in a particular way
Process evaluation
Determines whether a program is being implemented as intended
Outcome evaluation
Assesses a programs effectiveness
Contamination
Occurs when knowledge, services, or other experiences intended for one group are intentionally received by another group
Efficiency assessment
Where is the programs benefits and effectiveness in relation to its costs, to determine whether it is an efficient method for addressing the problem
Program diffusion
Implementing and maintaining effect of programs and other settings or with other groups
