their own: - ANS-control
Articles in which researchers report the findings of original research are: - ANS-primary
research
Articles in which the authors summarize the findings of other researchers are: -
ANS-review articles

Duration recording is a suitable data collection method for all of the following behaviors
EXCEPT: - ANS-number of times a student engages in physical aggression
Event recording is used to measure behaviors that: - ANS-1. have a clear start and end
2. are brief and temporary
3. do not occur at a frequency too high to count
Variables manipulated by researchers are known as: - ANS-independent variables
Well-designed applied research studies should: - ANS-Include systematic study of
behaviors in typical environments
, The committee responsible for examining proposed studies to ensure human participant
safety and ethical compliance is the: - ANS-institutional review board

ANS-Belmont report
The same level of risk a participant would encounter in daily life is: - ANS-minimal risk

results, discussion
Which type of recording samples behavior occurrences and provides an estimate of the
actual occurrences of the behavior? - ANS-discontinuous recording
When using momentary time sampling, occurrences of the target behavior are recording
if the behavior occurs: - ANS-at the end of the interval
If observers do not agree on behavior occurrences when collecting data (low
interobserver agreement), which common problems could be present? Check all that
apply. - ANS-observer bias, error, observer drift
