20
Q

Used for expressing the degree of relationship between two continuous variables (X and Y) that are measured as they naturally occur. Typically used in non-experimental research designs.

21
Q

Figure used to visualize correlations in which each dot represents a single person’s score on both X and Y

A

Scatterplot

22
Q

Negative correlation or positive correlations.

A

Direction of the Relationship

23
Q

Linear or curvilinear

A

Form of the Relationship

24
Q

Perfect correlation or no correlation. The closer the dots are fitted across a line, the stronger the relationship is.

A

Strength of the relationship

25
Q

two variables change in the same way at the same time

A

Positive correlation

26
Q

two variables change in opposite ways at the same time

A

Negative correlation

27
Q

No relationship or systematic variation between variables

A

Zero order

28
Q

Relationships are fit with a straight line

A

Linear relationship

29
Q

Relationships are modeled along a curve

A

Curvilinear relationship

30
Q

If two variables are related, it is possible to use one variable to make a prediction about the other. Ex: Self-esteem seems to be lower when one is younger and higher when one is older. An experiment could be established to find out the cause of the relationship between self-esteem and age.

A

Prediction

31
Q

Relationship between recently developed test and another test measuring the same construct. Ex: Personality tests such as the Myers-Brigg, the Big Five, and the Anagram.

A

Validity

32
Q

Relationship between recently developed two sets of measurements using the same instrument. Ex: Taking the Big Five personality test when one is 15 and taking it again when one is 28 years old should have identical but different results.

A

Reliability

33
Q

Many theories make predictions about the relationship between two variables. Ex: The learning theory states that everything a person learned is through experience. Measuring a fear of heights on a scale of 1-10 is a way to verify a theory and where it can be applied.

A

Theory verification

34
Q

Measures the degree of and direction of linear relationship between two variables. It is the most commonly used correlation coefficient and serves as both a descriptive and inferential statistic.

A

Pearson’s r

35
Q

Variability from the mean or average for a single variable.

A

Variance

36
Q

Modified formula for variance

A

Covariance

37
Q

Measures the relationship between two variables and the extent to which they change together (variables X and Y)

A

Covariance (COVxy)

38
Q

When an observed correlation between two variables (X and Y) can be explained by a third variable (Z)

A

third variable problem

39
Q

The problem of knowing whether X or Y came first

A

Directionality problem

40
Q

Standardized statistical technique used for finding the best-fitting straight line for a set of data. It is used to model the relationship between two or more continuous variables for forecasting and testing cause and effect. Ex: Given a value for variable X, what would Y be?

A

Simple Linear Regression

41
Q

Minimizes the distance between each actual Y value and the predicted Y values and the regression line. AKA minimizes the sum of the Squared Residuals

A

Line of Best Fit

42
Q

Variance explained by the model (regression line). Distance from the prediction line to the mean. (Predicted Y - Mean Y)

A

SSreg(SSmodel)

43
Q

Error. Distance from actual scores to the predicted line. (Y - Predicted Y)

A

SSres(SSerror)

44
Q

Total variance (for Y). Distance from the observed score to the mean. (Y - Mean Y)

A

SSy(SStotal)

45
Q

Uses continuous data from a predictor variable

A

Regression

46
Q

Multiple X variables as predictors of Y variable. Used to obtain more accurate predictions of Y and explain more variance. By including more predictors, it can help solve for the third variable problem.

A

Multiple regression

47
Q

Inferential statistic for testing the distribution and differences between categorical variables. Only uses nominal variables. Cannot calculate mean or variance with categorical variables. Tests the relationship between groups using frequency tables.

A

chi-square test

48
Q

There is no population parameter we are estimating or testing against (only working with sample data)

A

non-parametric test

49
Q

Used to test whether the frequency distribution of a single categorical variable is different from expectations.

A

Goodness of Fit Test

50
Q

Used to test whether two categorical variables are related to each other.

A

Test for Independence

51
Q

Shows the frequency of each category in one variable, contingent upon the specific level of the other variable.

A
