average to 0 with multiple observations of a variable
internalization stage black ID
a resolution of conflict whereby the individual achieves inner security and self
confidence about being African American.
test sensitivity vs specificiity
sensitivity - true positive
specificity - true negative
positive skew and negative skew central tendency
positve - mean>median>mode
negative - mode>median>mean
multiple regression
using 2+ predictors to estimate criterion, compensatory
predisposing vs precipitating
predispose - factors that make you vulnerable to disease
precip - factors that trigger onset
consistent finding with IQ in aging
increased response time
Fx for correction of attenuation
estimate correlation btwn 2 variables if one or both could be measured without error

how to distinguish quasi from true design
random assignment
after extensive training program
most have improved but relative standing is same
best Tx for alcohol abuse
none have been found more effective
