Concealment
Give this one a try later!
an observational method that refers to whether or not the participants
know that they are being observed
randomization
,Give this one a try later!
a sampling selection procedure in which each person or element in a
population has an equal chance of being assigned to either the
experimental group or the control group
representative sample
Give this one a try later!
a sample whose key characteristics closely approximate those of the
population
Descriptive/ exploratory survey
Give this one a try later!
A type of nonexperimental research in which descriptions of existing
phenomena are collected for the purpose of using the data to justify or
assess current conditions or to make plans for the improvement of
conditions
extraneous variable
Give this one a try later!
, a variable that interferes with the operations of the phenomena being
studied, also called mediating variable
After-only design
Give this one a try later!
an experimental design with two randomly assigned groups: a treatment
group and a control group. The design differs from the true experiment in
that both groups are measured only after the experimental treatment . AKA
posttest-only control group design
post-positivist paradigm
Give this one a try later!
the basis of most quantitative research and to a smaller extent qualitative
research
Constructivism
Give this one a try later!
the basis for naturalistic (qualitative) research, which developed from
writers such as Immanuel Kant, who sought alternative ways of thinking
about the world; a belief that reality is not fixed but rather is a construct of
people perceiving it
