APA stands for - ANS-American Psychological Association
Name your TA - ANS-Brittany!

In an experiment, all participants have an equal chance of being selected for a condition
- ANS-Random Assignment
After Method, before Discussion - ANS-Results
Operationally define Stress so that it is a quantitative variable. - ANS-Through a survey
that gives participants a score / levels of cortisol / rating of 1 - 10 / count of stressful
actions (ie chewing nails)
The average distance that scores in a data set differ from the mean of that whole set of
scores - ANS-Standard Deviation
What is the effect size for comparing the Differences between two groups -
ANS-Cohen's d
Two quantitative variables and the relationship they share - ANS-R
Relationship/Correlation
Explanation of a phenomenon (e.g., yawning happens because of a lack of oxygen) -
ANS-Theory
Can have multiple levels and is manipulated in an experiment. Thought to be the cause
in a statistical relationship - ANS-Independent Variable
, Required writing rule for your paper: Mechanics, Grammar, Spelling, No contractions,
how numbers are written, References and Reference Citations - ANS-Low Level APA
Style
Explain how to calculate cohen's d - ANS-Subtract the smaller group mean from the
larger group mean, divide by the pooled (average) standard deviation of both groups
Which effect size would you calculate to see the relationship between two quantitative
variables? - ANS-Pearson's R
