Which of the following research designs will allow cause-and-effect conclusions? Stan and Jenny are in a psychology course that requires them to repeat an experiment that researchers have conducted in the past, in order to determine whether they produce the same results. This is called ________. A psychologist believes that college students who sleep 8 hours each night achieve better grades on their exams than those sleep less than this amount. He conducts a study to determine if this belief is true. What is the Independent Variable (IV) in this study? The Dependent Variable (DV) in the previous question would be the: Which of the following is not a characteristic of a good hypothesis? Dr. X wishes to study how college students interact in the student union. Which research method should he use? ________ means that there is a relationship between two or more variables. ________ research studies the same groups of participants over time. Which of the following is the strongest correlation? Dr. Mattar is interested in knowing more about brain injury to the occipital cortex, and he studies patients individually in order to gain in-depth knowledge about their behaviors. These studies would best be described as ________. The ________ group does not get the experimental treatment. The belief that strange behavior is linked to the occurrence of a full moon is an example of a(n) ________. A psychologist wishes to ensure that both his experimental group and control group are as similar as possible (e.g., having equal numbers of males and females). He can achieve this by using: A(n) ________ is a well-developed set of ideas that proposes an explanation for observed phenomena. ________ research uses past records or data sets to investigate research questions or to look for patterns or relationships. Scientific knowledge is advanced through a process known as ________. An ________ (IRB) reviews research that is conducted using human participants. Institutional Review Board A researcher wishes to study people’s attitudes toward certain political candidates. Which research method would be used? Research on ________ subjects must always involve ________. human; obtaining informed consent What term is best defined as the idea that knowledge comes from observations?Simply put, empiricism is the idea that all learning comes from only experience and observations. The term empiricism comes from the Greek word for experience: empeiria. The theory of empiricism attempts to explain how human beings acquire knowledge and improve their conceptual understanding of the world.
What is the only type of research design that can give causeThe experiment is the only type of research design that can give cause-and-effect findings. However, not all studies are designed as experiments primarily because it would often be unethical or impossible to assign individuals to groups. Also, experiments may create a study context that does not reflect reality.
What is the only type of research design that can give causeThe only method that will establish a cause-and-effect relationship is an experimental research design. A true experiment must feature a control group as one of the experimental groups, along with random sampling from the population and random assignment of the study subjects to the experimental groups.
Which of the following research designs will explain why two variables are related?Correlational research designs measure two or more relevant variables and assess a relationship between or among them. The variables may be presented on a scatter plot to visually show the relationships. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r) is a measure of the strength of linear relationship between two variables.
