Say we find that children who spend more time
playing violent video games get in trouble for
aggressive behavior in school more often. Which of
the following is true?
A) There is a negative association between how
often children play video games and aggression
in school.
B) There is a positive association between how
often children play video games and aggression
in school. - ANSWERS B) There is a positive association between how
often children play video games and aggression
in school.
You want to know about the relationship
between drinking habits and GPA in MSU
undergraduates. You only include people in your
sorority/fraternity in your sample. This would be
an example of a:
,A) Representative sample
B) Biased sample - ANSWERS B) Biased sample
You want to know about the relationship between
drinking habits and GPA in MSU undergraduates.
You only include people in your sorority/fraternity
in your sample. The results of this study would be:
A) Valid for MSU undergrads that are in your
sorority/fraternity
B) Generalizable to all MSU undergraduates
C) None of the above - ANSWERS A) Valid for MSU undergrads that are in your
sorority/fraternity
Using participants from the MSU Psychology
Research Subjects pool (e.g. SONA) is an
example of:
A) A representative sample
B) A biased sample
C) A convenience sample
D) B and C - ANSWERS D) B and C
,You are interested in the experiences of women in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors.
First, you make a list of all universities in Michigan. Then you
randomly select 3 of those universities. Following this
selection, you identify all STEM majors within these
universities, and randomly select 100 female STEM majors
from each of the three universities. This is an example of:
A) Biased sampling
B) Simple random sampling
C) Multistage sampling
D) Cluster sampling
E) Stratified sampling - ANSWERS C) Multistage sampling
You are interested in the experiences of women in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors.
First, you make a list of all universities in Michigan. Then you
randomly select 3 of those universities. Following this
selection, you collect data from all female STEM majors within
these three universities. This is an example of:
A) Biased sampling
B) Simple random sampling
C) Multistage sampling
, D) Cluster sampling
E) Stratified sampling - ANSWERS D) Cluster sampling
You are interested in the experiences of women in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors at MSU. You want to
make sure that racial ethnic/groups are appropriately represented in
your sample and you want to collect data from 100 people. First, you
figure out what percentage of female STEM majors fall in each
racial/ethnic category. Then you divide female STEM majors into racial
groups and randomly sample the proportionate number of individuals
from that group (i.e. if 5% are South Asian, then you randomly select 5
South Asian individuals from the group).
A) Biased sampling
B) Simple random sampling
C) Multistage sampling
D) Cluster sampling
E) Stratified sampling - ANSWERS E) Stratified sampling
"Yes or No: I think that the MSU campus is well- maintained and I feel safe walking
around
campus at night."
