(Provide a visual example of a Likert Scale for app)
Likert Scales
.5
Where questionnare respinses fall on continuum ( ex. “ strongly disgree “ to “ strongly agree “ )
American Psychological Association
(APA)
.5
the largest psychological association in the world and the main professional organization for psychologists in the United States
Institutional Review Board (IRB)
.5
a committee that reviews research proposals to ensure that they are ethical and comply with an organization’s codes of conduct
(Describe following in context of ethical practices when conducting)
Ethical Practices
Informed consent/informed assent
.5
Participants must understand and agree to research details before taking part.
(Describe following in context of ethical practices when conducting)
Ethical Practices
Protection from harm
.5
Researchers must ensure participants are not exposed to physical or psychological harm.
(Describe following in context of ethical practices when conducting)
Ethical Practices
Confidentiality
.5
Personal information must be kept private and not shared without permission.
(Describe following in context of ethical practices when conducting)
Ethical Practices
Anonymity
.5
Participants’ identities are kept unknown in the research results.
(Describe following in context of ethical practices when conducting)
Ethical Practices
Deception
.5
Misleading participants is only acceptable if necessary and justified.
(Describe following in context of ethical practices when conducting)
Ethical Practices
Debrief
.5
Participants are informed about the true nature of the study after it ends.
Descriptive statistics
. 6
Summarizes data using tools like averages and graphs.
(Provide a visual
representation for app)
Frequency distribution
.6
Shows how often different values appear in a dataset. (Visual: Bar chart showing counts of each value)
(Provide a visual
representation for app)
Frequency histogram
.6
A bar graph representing frequency distribution. (Visual: Bars for data ranges)
(Explain why researchers be interested in
calculating this data for app)
Measures of Central Tendency
.6
Includes mean, median, and mode to find the center of data. Researchers use this to understand typical values.
Percentile rank
.6
Includes mean, median, and mode to find the center of data. Researchers use this to understand typical values.
(Explain why researchers be interested in
calculating this data for app)
Measures of variation
.6
Shows how spread out data is. Researchers use this to understand data dispersion.
(Explain why researchers be interested in calculating data for app)
Standard deviation
.6
Measures how much data varies from the mean. Researchers use this to assess data consistency.
(Provide a visual representation for app)
Normal curve
.6
A bell-shaped graph representing the distribution of data. (Visual: Symmetrical bell curve)
(Provide a visual representation for app)
Skewed distribution
.6
Data is not evenly spread; it leans to one side. (Visual: Lopsided bell curve)
(Provide a visual representation for app)
Bimodal distribution
.6
Has two peaks in the data. (Visual: Graph with two high points)
Regression toward the mean
.6
Extreme values tend to move closer to the average in subsequent measurements.
Inferential statistics
.6
Uses sample data to make generalizations about a population.
(P Value)
Statistical significance
.6
Measures whether results are likely due to chance. A lower P value indicates stronger evidence.
Effect size
.6
Shows the strength of a relationship or difference. It helps to understand the practical significance of results.
