Non directional relationship hypothesis-correlation

A

•correlation study “there will be a relationship between …”

Q

Directional difference hypothesis- experiments

A

•this states a difference between two conditions
•directional (one-tailed) as it predicts direction of results

17
Q

Directional relationship hypothesis- correlation

A

•correlation as it states a relationship between two things
• directional (two-tailed) as it is predicting direction of results

18
Q

Strength
Order effects

A

are avoided – participants only take part in one
condition so they cannot get better/worse between conditions, they cannot get tired and bored
