Q

Latin Square

A

A technique to control for order effects without having all possible orders

a limited set of orders constructed to insure that :

1) each condition appears at each ordinal position
2) each condition precedes and follows each one time.

Q

Physiological Measure

A

recording of the bodies response.

23
Q

Ceiling effect

A

the task is so easy anyone can do it.

24
Q

Floor effect

A

The task is so difficult no one can complete it.

25
Q

Demand characteristic

A

informs participant of the purpose of the study.

26
Q

placebo effect

A

participants receive a harmless pill or injection that will have no effect on participant.

27
Q

experimenter bias or expectancy effects.

A

experimenter develops expectations about how participants should respond.

28
Q

single blind

A

the participant is unaware if they recieved the placebo or active medicine.

29
Q

Double blind

A

the participant and person distributing the pill or injection do not know if it is a placebo or real medicine.

30
Q

demand characteristics, what can be done to minimize these.

A

use deception, filler items, or conducted in field setting.

31
Q

expectancy effects what can be done to minimize these.

A

practice behaving consistently with all participants, run all conditions simultaneously, use automated system, use a double blind experiment.

32
Q

why use a pilot study

A

try out see how long to conduct future research.

33
Q

describe how to do a manipulation check

A

useful in a pilot study to see if the independent variable is having the right effect. EX: using an attractive person to conduct interview and rate if the participant rates the person as attractive.

34
Q

Factorial Design

A

designs with more than one independent variable.

35
Q

main effect

A

the first information about the effect of each independent variable taken by itself. EX: A design with two independent variables has 2 main effects.

36
Q

Interaction

A

an interactions is between the two independent variables.

it is the times that both variables cross paths. or connect.

37
Q

IV x PV design

A

an experimental and non experimental design.

38
Q

why two or more levels for IV in an experiment

A

The outcomes are more clear on a graph

39
Q

threats to internal validity

A

history effects, instrument decay, maturation defects, regression towards the mean, testing effects, and mortality.

40
Q

Single subject design ( single case experimental design)

A

used to see if an experimental manipulation had an effect on a single research participant.

41
Q

baseline

A

subjects behavior is measured over time in a baseline control period.

42
Q

Reversal design

A

ABA design: (A) baseline period (B) treatment period (A) baseline period. it can continue for stronger correlation to an ABAB or ABABAB this makes the outcome of treatment stronger and not due to chance.

43
Q

Multiple Baseline Design

A

the effectiveness of the treatment is demonstrated when a behavior changes only after the manipulation is introduced. must be observed under multiple circumstances.

44
Q

Program Evaluation

A

research on programs that are implemented to achieve some positive effect on a group of individuals. EX: programs for schools, work, or communities.

  1. Needs Assessment
  2. Program Theory Assessment
  3. Process Evaluation
  4. Outcome Evaluation
  5. Efficiency Assessment
45
Q

Quasi-Experimental Design

A

address the need to study the effects of an independent variable in setting in which the control features of true experimental designs cannot be achieved.

46
Q

One-Group Posttest- Only Design

A

Participant—> independent variable—> dependent variable
sit next to stranger measure time until person leaves

cannot get viable answer because maybe of different possibilities.

47
Q

One-Group Pretest- Posttest Design

A

measure participant before the manipulation and again afterward.

problems: history, maturation, instrument decay, testing

48
Q

History Effects

A

event or person that occurs before the manipulation.

EX: Angelina mastectomy

49
Q

Maturation

A

changes that occur systematically overtime.

EX: bored, fatigue

50
Q

Testing Effects

A

sensitizing

EX: keeping a journal of how much you smoke a day, might make you smoke less before experiment.

51
Q

Instrument Decay

A

the measuring instrument changes over time.

EX: scale, forgetting to record data

52
Q

regression toward the mean

A

participant being selected due to high or low testing.

53
Q

Non-equivalent control group design

A

employs a separate control group, but the participants in the two conditions. this makes a confounding variable. This results in selection differences or selection bias.

54
Q

selection difference (bias)

A

participants who for the two groups in the experiment are chosen from existing natural groups.

55
Q

Nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design

A

one of the most useful quasi experimental designs. not a true experimental design group assignment is not random and may not be equivalent.
