RESEARCH METHODS IN PSYCHOLOGY EXAM 2 NEWEST EXAM WITH
MULTIPLE CHOICE OF QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS ALREADY
GRADED A+ AND 100% GUARANTEE PASS (BRAND NEW!!!!!!!!!)


open ended questions - CORRECT ANSWERS-allow respondents to answer in
any way that they would like. Choose this type of question when you need
various spontaneous answers, rich in information. Because answers often be
categorized and coded, this is not a very efficient method.


Forced-choice question - CORRECT ANSWERS-respondents give their opinion
by picking the best of 2 or more options. Often used for current issues or asking
preference between two choices


Likert scale (or likert-type scale) - CORRECT ANSWERS-People are presented
with a statement and are asked to use a rating scale to indicate their degree of
agreement. Semantic differential format: rate a target object using a numeric
scale that is anchored with adjectives


Leading questions - CORRECT ANSWERS-questions that use certain wording
to evoke a certain response from respondents.


Double negatives - CORRECT ANSWERS-when asking these types of
questions, the participant may have trouble understanding what exactly the
question is asking, and therefore the construct validity is lowered.


Question order - CORRECT ANSWERS-earlier questions can change the way
that respondents understand and answer the later questions.

, Response set: (also known as nondifferentiation) - CORRECT ANSWERS-a
type of shortcut respondents can take when responding to a survey that occurs
when respondents respond similarly to all questions


"Yea-saying" (also known as acquiescence) - CORRECT ANSWERS-occurs
when people say yes or strongly agree to every item instead of thinking instead
of thinking carefully about each one.


"Nay-saying" - CORRECT ANSWERS-occurs when people say no or strongly
disagree to every item instead of thinking instead of thinking carefully about
each one.


Fence sitting - CORRECT ANSWERS-playing it safe by answering in the middle
of the scale, especially when survey items are controversial.


Social desirability - CORRECT ANSWERS-if a particular answer is going to
make a person look socially "bad", then they may avoid that answer and
respond dishonestly.


observer bias - CORRECT ANSWERS-when observer expectations influence
their interpretation of the outcomes of the study


observer effects - CORRECT ANSWERS-when behavior of participants
changes to match observer expectations


reactivity - CORRECT ANSWERS-when people change their behavior when
they know a person is watching
