BUS-660 Quantitative Methods Study Guide Exam
2024 | BUS 660 Exam Update Latest 2024
Questions and answers, professor verified, already
graded a+
Within-subjects design - ANSWER Same group of individuals participates and is measured in all
treatments
Between-subjects design - ANSWER Separate groups of participants are used for different treatment
conditions
Order effects - ANSWER Effects on participants due to the order in which treatments are administered
Practice effects - ANSWER Improvement in performance due to increased practice with dependent
variable measures
Fatigue - ANSWER Decreased effort and performance due to participant exhaustion
History - ANSWER External factor that affects all participants and can impact the results
Maturation - ANSWER Participants changing over time, impacting the results of the study
Instrumentation - ANSWER Method used by researchers to measure changes over time
Differential attrition - ANSWER Participants from different groups dropping out of the study at different
levels
, Resentful demoralization - ANSWER Resentment from participants wishing they were in a different group
Regression to the mean - ANSWER Tendency of outliers to be followed by data points closer to the mean
Order and carryover effects - ANSWER Changes in scores not caused by treatments from one condition
to another
Counterbalancing - ANSWER Changing the order of treatment conditions to deal with order and
carryover effects
Matched subjects design - ANSWER Matching participants based on a shared characteristic in a between-
group design (ex: matching participants based on age if a study involved response time or memory).
Experimental design - ANSWER Establishing cause and effect by manipulating independent variables and
measuring dependent variables
Quasi-experimental design - ANSWER Establishing cause and effect with at least one aspect of a true
experiment missing
Non-experimental design - ANSWER Examining social phenomena without manipulating conditions or
using random assignment
Equivalent groups - ANSWER Separate groups created equally, treated equally, and composed of
equivalent individuals
Nonequivalent groups - ANSWER Between-subjects design with participants not randomly assigned to
conditions
Pre-post-test designs - ANSWER Measuring change by comparing scores before and after treatment
Post-test only designs - ANSWER Measuring scores only after treatment without a pretest
