36
Q

Aims at establishing quantified relationships and explanatory theory through the analysis of responses under various controlled conditions and the synthesis of adequate theoretical accounts from the results of these observations.

A

Experimental psychology

37
Q

The scientific study of behavior, motives, or cognition in a laboratory or other controlled setting in order to predict, explain, or influence behavior or other psychological phenomena.

A

Experimental psychology

38
Q

A research design in which a causal relationship is investigated by manipulating an independent variable and measuring a dependent variable, while other variables are held constant.

A

Experimental research

39
Q

A group of participants in an experiment who are exposed to a particular manipulation of the
independent variable.

A

Experimental group (treatment group)

40
Q

A comparison group of participants in an experiment who receive no intervention or are not exposed to the manipulation of the independent variable

A

Control group

41
Q

The variable in a causal relationship that is hypothesized to influence the dependent variable and that is manipulated in experimental research.

A

Independent variable (treatment variable)

42
Q

The variable in a causal relationship that is hypothesized to be influenced by the independent variable

A

Dependent variable

43
Q

The joint effect of two or more independent variables on a dependent variable beyond the sum of their individual effects; the effect of one independent variable depends on the level of the other independent variable.

A

Interaction effect

44
Q

The variable that is observed to change as a result of a change in the predictor (independent) variable and expresses the result of an association

A

Outcome variable

45
Q

The variable in an association that is used to estimate or forecast a result or outcome.

A

Predictor variable

46
Q

Variables that are unrelated to the research question but that might affect the dependent variable.

A

Extraneous variables

47
Q

An uncontrolled third variable that may account for the relationship between a predictor variable and an outcome variable, or between an independent variable and a dependent variable.

A

Confounding variables

48
Q

A representative subset of a larger population that is selected for study with the aim of drawing conclusions about the population

A

Sample

49
Q

A process that ensures every participant has an equal chance of being placed in an experimental or a control group in the study to maximize the likelihood that any observable changes in the dependent variable are due to the independent variable and not individual differences.

A

Random assignment

50
Q

Most basic experimental design
