PSYC 304 FINAL: RESEARCH
METHODS Athabasca
University with complete
verified solutions already
graded A+
Authority - answer based on someone's else's language
logic - answer - based on reason
intuition - answer - a way of knowing spontaneous instinctive processes
rather than on logic or reasoning
- spontaneous perception or judgment not based on reasoned mental
steps
Variable - answer - A factor that can change in an experiment with
different conditions
dependent variable - answer The measurable effect, outcome, or
response in which the research is interested.
Frequency - answer The number of times a behaviour is performed
rate - answer The number of times that a behaviour is performed relative
to time
duration - answer length of time something lasts
, Latency - answer - The amount of time b/w the instruction and when the
behaviour is actually performed
Topography - answer - The shape or style of the behaviour
Force - answer The intensity or strength of a behaviour
locus - answer - Where the behaviour occurs in the environment
variable of interest - answer a variable for which its role in the cause and
effect of an observed relationship is not clear
subject variable - answer - Independent variables that the researcher
does not manipulate
- Ex: age, sex, iQ
Confounded Variables - answer Two variables are _______ if the
investigator cannot separately identify their effects on the response
variable.
quantitative variable - answer - ones that varies in amount
Categorical Variable (Qualitative) - answer ones that varies in kind
continuous variable - answer a quantitative variable that has an infinite
number of possible values that are not countable
discrete variable - answer Consists of separate, indivisible categories. No
values can exist between two neighboring categories.
real limits - answer the interval defined by the number plus or minus half
the distance to the next number
