Variable
A research method in which the investigator manipulates a variable under carefully
controlled conditions and observes whether any changes occur in a second variable
as a result.

Define experiment.
,Size of the coefficient indicates the strength of an association between two variables
1. varies between 0 and +1.00 if positive
2. between 0 and -1.00 if negative
3. coefficient near zero indicates no relationship between the variables
4. coefficient of -1 or +1 indicates perfect, one to one correspondence between the
two variables

What is the strength of the correlation, and how is this indicated in the
correlation coefficient? (pp. 62-63)
EXPERIMENTAL GROUP is the group receiving the independent variable
CONTROL GROUP does not receive anything, in order to act as a comparison

experimental group vs. control group
1. Measurement and description- finding a measurement technique that makes it
possible to describe behaviour
2. Understanding and Prediction- to understand events when the reasons for its
occurrence can be explained and predictions are tested with an hypothesis
3. Application and Control- the application and control of research findings to
practical problems in society

, Briefly identify and describe the three goals of the scientific enterprise. (pp.
44-45)
Naturalistic Observation- careful observation of behaviour without intervening
directly with the research subjects of participants
1. good for studying behaviour under less artificial conditions
2. good starting point for when little is known about the subject
3. disadvantage: reactivity occurs when subject's behaviour is altered by the presence
of an observer

describe : naturalistic observation (pp. 54-57)
In-depth investigation of an individual subject and used for:
1. evaluation of a therapy
2. phenomena's
3. can help to support theories
4. disadvantage; highly subjective
