Chapter 1: Thinking Critically With Psychological
Science
Part A — Analytical Multiple-Choice Questions
1. A researcher finds that students who use a study app earn higher grades. Which
conclusion is justified?
A. It has reliability but poor validity for the intended construct.
B. The variables are associated, but the design alone does not establish that the app
caused higher grades.
C. Effect size, confidence interval, study quality, and practical significance.
D. It is not falsifiable and does not yield a testable prediction.
Answer: B. The variables are associated, but the design alone does not establish that the
app caused higher grades.
Rationale: A correlational result may reflect prior motivation, study time, or other
confounds.
2. A team wants to test whether background music affects recall. Which design best
supports a causal inference?
A. Representativeness reduces systematic selection bias and supports generalization.
B. Reactivity may distort the behavior being measured.
C. A controlled intervention manipulating sleep opportunity while measuring later
