Determined by the extent to which we can find ways to predict and control events. Postpositivistic - ANS-There is an interaction between the person's perceptions and certain phenomena Scientific realism - ANS-The world is composed of layers of causal structures Frequency - ANS-The number of times a particular type of event occurs or the number of individuals in a given category Mode - ANS-Most occurring score descriptive statistics - ANS-Refers to a collection of data that is representative of a sample of the population Distribution - ANS-How scores are distributed across a data set inferential statistics - ANS-numerical data that allow one to generalize- to infer from sample data the probability of something being true of a population nonparametric statistics - ANS-A statistical method wherein the data is not required to fit a normal distribution. Often used ordinal data. Good for ranks. Inferential. normal curve - ANS-the symmetrical bell-shaped curve that describes the distribution of many physical and psychological attributes. Most scores fall near the average, and fewer and fewer scores lie near the extremes. parametric statistics - ANS-Refers to population parameters such as means and standard deviations, which are based on normal distributions range - ANS-the difference between the highest and lowest scores in a distribution scales of measurement - ANS-rules for assigning scale values to measurements standard deviation - ANS-a measure of variability that describes an average distance of every score from the mean Tables - ANS-Used to arrange text in columns and rows and are helpful in presenting, organizing, and clarifying information Variance - ANS-How scores vary from the mean in a distribution ANOVA (analysis of variance) - ANS-an inferential statistical test for comparing the means of three or more groups Factorial ANOVA - ANS-an analysis of variance involving two or more independent variables or predictors. Allows the researcher to determine if there is an interaction between IV Repeated measures of ANOVA - ANS-Allows researchers to compare differences over several different observations or times independent variable - ANS-An event, condition, or measured attribute or characteristic that the researcher for the most part controls dependent variable - ANS-Changes in the subject as a consequence of the independent variable extraneous variable - ANS-Uncontrolled or unknown factors that can potentially affect the result or the response to the dependent variable control variable - ANS-An extraneous variable that the researcher has identified and had developed ways to control for its effects True experimental designs - ANS-A map or systematic plan for conducting the collection of data. Random assignment to groups and manipulation of the independent variable. Can show cause and effect. quasi-experimental design - ANS-A design in which there is a manipulation that is controlled by the researcher but no random assignment to group Pre-experimental designs - ANS-Have no random assignment to groups with an intervention Descriptive designs - ANS-Involve no random assignments to groups nor is there manipulation of an independent variable
