problem if there is no random assignment

Question 4

observable operation, procedures, measurements in context of an experiment.

Answer 4

OPERATIONAL DEFINITION

CONCEPTUAL DEFINITION

Answer 5

definition of the cited info

Question 6

explains the precise meaning of IV; describe exactly what was done to create various treatment conditions of experiment.

Answer 6

EXPERIMENTAL OPERATIONAL DEFINITION

Question 7

unseen processes to explain behavior; provided definitions involving variables that can be observed.

Answer 7

HYPOTHETICAL CONSTRUCTS

Question 8

agreement between measurements of same responses from different observers.

Answer 8

INTERRATER RELIABITY

Question 9

comparison of scores who have been measured twice with the same instrument.

Answer 9

TEST - RETEST REALIABITY

Question 10

measures internal consistency; measures single construct variable

Answer 10

INTERITEM RELIABILITY

Question 11

actually studying the variables that we intend to study.

Answer 11

VALIDITY

Question 12

provides evidence to validity of an experimental procedure

Answer 12

MANIPULATION CHECK

Question 13

measure what it intends to measure

Answer 13

FACE VALIDITY

Question 14

how content of our measure fairly reflect the content of the quality we are measuring

Answer 14

CONTENT VALIDITY

Question 15

ability of the instrument to predict future behavior based on the score they obtained.

Answer 15

PREDICTIVE VALIDITY

Question 16

whether scores on a measuring device correlate with scores obtained from another method.

Answer 16

CONCURRENT VALIDITY

Question 17

transition from theory to research application

Answer 17

CONSTRUCT VALIDITY

Question 18

test result should highly correlate with scores on tests measuring same construct

Answer 18

CONVERGENT VALIDITY

Question 19

test result should not highly correlate with scores on tests measuring other constructs.

Answer 19

DISCRIMINANT VALIDITY

Question 20

type of prob in internal validity wherein factors that are note the focus of the expe can influence the findings?

Answer 20

EXGTRANEOUS VARIABLES

Question 21

type of prob in internal validity wherein it sabotages an experiment, ext. variable changes systematically across diff conditions of expe

Answer 21

CONFOUNDING

Question 22

proposed by Donald Campbell; all quasi-experimental studies contain one or more classic threats

Answer 22

CLASSIC THREATS TO INTERNAL VALIDITY

Question 23

type of threat where it involves an outside event that happened before the experimentation; which can cause the experimental effects.

Answer 23

HISTORY

Question 24

internal changes in subjects; studies that take months/ yrs to finish

Answer 24

MATURATION

Question 25

effects on the DV produced by previous administration of the same test/ other measuring instrument.

Answer 25

TESTING

Question 26

type of threat that happens when some features of the measuring instrument changes during experiment

Answer 26

INTRUMENTATION

Question 27

regression towards the mean; extreme scores tend to have lest test - retest reliability; issue w/ d result

Answer 27

STATISTICAL REGRESSION

Question 28

type of threat where researchers does not assign subjects randomly to diff conditions of the experiment.

Answer 28

SELECTION

Question 29

happens when occurence of subjs dropping out of the experiment.

Answer 29

SUBJECT MORTALITY

Question 30

occurs when selection threat combines with another threat

Answer 30

SELECTION INTERACTION
