"PSY 202: PRINCIPLES OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT MIDTERM
EXAM"
causations - correlations do not show..
relationship between two variables - correlation
- direction (+ or -)
- form (linear or non-linear)
- strength (size of coefficient) - associations between two scores
scores in the same direction
- ex: as IQ increases, achievement score increases - positive correlation
scores change in opposite direction
- ex: as suspension increases, test scores decrease - negative correlation
- no correlation
- perfect positive correlation
- perfect negative correlation - degree of association
, r = 0 - no correlation
r = 1 - perfect positive correlation
r = -1 - perfect negative correlation
- puts a value on random change sampling
- defined with a p-value (between 0-1) - statistical significance
probability the observed effect was caused by something other than mere chance - significance
p-value < 0.05 - significant p-value
no - if a significant correlation is found, does that mean that one variable causes the other?
- focuses on the power of the situation
- examines how we think about, influence, and relate to one another in certain conditions -
social psychology
adapting to social norms from exposure to information or the social pressure of others
- Asch experiment - conformity
following a direct order from another person
- Milgram's experiment - obedience
can dictate what people "can and cant" do - social norms
