The most valuable type of research is - Answer✔The experiment, used to discover cause any
fact relationships
quasi experiment - Answer✔research procedure which does not meet the requirements of a
true experiment. The researcher uses pre-existing groups and hence the independent variable
cannot be altered. In a quasi-experiment you cannot state with any degree of statistical
confidence that the IV caused the DV
ex post facto - Answer✔after the fact intact pre-existing groups are utilized. The IV was
administered before the research begin
Threats to internal validity - Answer✔Include maturation of subjects mortality, instrument used
to measure the behavior or treat, and statistical regression
Statistical regression - Answer✔Extreme scores regress to the mean
Internal validity - Answer✔Refers to whether the dependent variables were truly influenced by
the experimental independent variables Or whether other factors have an impact

Factor analysis - Answer✔A statistical procedure that identifies clusters of related items on a
test
chi square - Answer✔tests whether or not there is a real difference between categories. A
statistical measure of the test whether a distribution differs significantly from an expected
theoretical distribution
Parsimony - Answer✔Interpreting the results in the simplest way
Ocamms razor Suggest that experimenters - Answer✔Interpret the results and the simplest
manner
confounded/Flawed - Answer✔The experiment is said to be invalid due to an extraneous
independent variable. Variables which are undesirable confound or flaw the experiment
And experiment is said to be confounded when - Answer✔And desirable variables are not kept
out of the experiment
Applied research - Answer✔Carried out to solve a problem
Of variable is - Answer✔A factor that varies or is capable of change. It can exist on at least two
levels are conditions
In an experiment that IV is - Answer✔The variable that the researcher manipulates, controls,
cultures, or wishes to experiment with
The dependent variable - Answer✔is the outcome or response that the researcher wants to
predict or explain. DV begins with a D and so does the word data. The DVD express the data
regarding factors you wish to measure

Discrete - Answer✔Unconnected; separate; distinct. Ex. Brand of counseling or occupation
Continuous - Answer✔Going on without stopping. Ex Height or weight
The variable you manipulate/control in the experiment is - Answer✔Independent Variable ("I"
manipulate)
What is the difference between the control group and the experimental group - Answer✔The
control group will not have the experimental treatment applied to them. (The control group
does not receive the independent variable (IV)/
If you cannot randomly assign the subjects to the two groups then the research is a -
Answer✔Quasi experiment
How many people should there at least be to conduct a true experiment? - Answer✔30 and 100
to conduct a survey
The experimental group receives the - Answer✔Independent Variable (IV)
Organismic Variable - Answer✔The researcher cannot control, yet it exists such as height and
weight or gender
Hypothesis testing is most closely related to the work of - Answer✔R.A. Fisher
Hypothesis - Answer✔A statement which can be tested regarding the relationship of the IV and
the DV
