evidence that the results of a study, experiment or
test can be applied, and allow inferences, to
realworld conditions. - ✔ANSWER✔-Ecological
validity Experimental research - ✔ANSWER✔-a
form of research in which one or more variables are
systematically manipulated to see their effect (alone
or in combination) on an outcome variable. This
term implies that data will be able to be used to
make statements about cause and effect. Compare
with cross-sectional research and correlational
research.
a form of research in which one or more variables
are systematically manipulated to see their effect
(alone or in combination) on an outcome variable.
This term implies that data will be able to be used to
,make statements about cause and effect. Compare
with cross-sectional research and correlational
research. - ✔ANSWER✔-Experimental research
Falsification - ✔ANSWER✔-the act of disproving a
hypothesis or theory.
the act of disproving a hypothesis or theory. -
✔ANSWER✔-Falsification
Frequency distribution - ✔ANSWER✔-a graph
plotting values of observations on the horizontal
axis, and the frequency with which each value
occurs in the data set on the vertical axis (a.k.a.
histogram).
a graph plotting values of observations on the
horizontal axis, and the frequency with which each
value occurs in the data set on the vertical axis
(a.k.a. histogram). - ✔ANSWER✔-Frequency
distribution
,Histogram - ✔ANSWER✔-a frequency distribution.
a frequency distribution. - ✔ANSWER✔-
Histogram Hypothesis - ✔ANSWER✔-a prediction
about the state of the world (see experimental
hypothesis and null hypothesis).
a prediction about the state of the world (see
experimental hypothesis and null hypothesis). -
✔ANSWER✔-Hypothesis
Independent design - ✔ANSWER✔-an
experimental design in which different treatment
conditions utilize different organisms (e.g., in
psychology, this would mean using different people
in different treatment conditions) and so the
resulting data are independent (a.k.a. betweengroups
or between-subjects design).
, an experimental design in which different treatment
conditions utilize different organisms (e.g., in
psychology, this would mean using different people
in different treatment conditions) and so the
resulting data are independent (a.k.a. betweengroups
or between-subjects design). -
✔ANSWER✔-Independent design
Independent variable - ✔ANSWER✔-another name
for a predictor variable. This name is usually
associated with experimental methodology (which is
the only time it makes sense) and is used because it
is the variable that is manipulated by the
experimenter and so its value does not depend on
any other variables (just on the experimenter). I just
use the term predictor variable all the time because
the meaning of the term is not constrained to a
particular methodology.
