Question 4

IV

Answer 4

what’s manipulated or changed, what’s being studied

Question 5

DV

Answer 5

what’s being observed in the experimental situation (outcome factor or effect teh iv has on the behaviour).

Question 6

EXTRANEOUS VARIABLE

Answer 6

a variable other than the dv that may cause change in dv or affect result.

Question 7

POPULATION

Answer 7

ENTIRE GROUP OF RESEARH INTEREST

Question 8

SAMPLE

Answer 8

part of the population that is selected for research purposes (those who participated in the study)

Question 9

RANDOM SAMPLING:

Answer 9

ensures all member of research interest have a fair chance on becoming selected part of the sample e.g. from a hat or wheel.

Question 10

ADV AND LIM OF RANDOM SAMPLING:

Answer 10

adv: free from researcher bias

Question 11

STRARTIFIED SAMPLING

Answer 11

researching dividing sampled groups based on characteristics they share.

Question 12

ADV AND LIM OF STRATIFIED SAMPLING

Answer 12

adv: allows us to sample specific groups
lim: time-consuming (expensive procedure)

Question 13

CONVENIENCE SAMPLING:

Answer 13

Is a commonly used biased sample technique
e.g. asking ppl to volunteer via news paper article, Selecting people who walk past you in the school yard​, Choosing participants because they are family, friends or classmates.

Question 14

RANDOM ALLOCATION

Answer 14

PROCEDURE TO RANDOMLY ALLOCATE PARTICIPANTS INTO GROUPS
(TOSS A COIN, NAMES OUT OF A BOX)

Question 15

WHAT ARE THE 3 SUBJECT DESIGNS?

Answer 15

Between, Within and mixed design

Question 16

WHAT IS between SUBJECT DESIGN?

Answer 16

participants are randomly allocated in either the experimental group or control group. Each group completes the condition they are assigned, then results see if iv had an effect on dv.

Question 17

ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF BETWEEN SUBJECT?

Answer 17

ADV: QUICKER
LIM: OFTEN NEEDS A LARGER SAMPLE

Question 18

WHAT IS WITHIN SUBJECT DESIGN?

Answer 18

EACH PARTICIPANTS ARE IN BOTH THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUP AND CONTROL GROUP, EACH GROUP COMPLETE BOTH THE CONTROL AND EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS. THEN WE SEE IF THE IV HAD EFFECT ON DV.

Question 19

ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF WITHIN SUBJECT DESIGN?

Answer 19

ADV: REQUIRED SMALL NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE DESIGN BECAUSE ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE DOING BOTH CONDITIONS
LIM: POSSIBLY CAN GAIN PRACTICE ONCE DOING THE EXPERIMENT THE 2ND TIME

Question 20

WHAT IS MIXED DESIGN?

Answer 20

COMBINES BOTH WITHIN SUJECT DESIGN AND BETWEEN SUBJECT DESIGN (BEFORE AND AFTER)

Question 21

ADV AND LIM OF MIXED DESIGN?

Answer 21

ADV: Required small numbers of participants for the design
LIM: High rates of participants withdrawal
