PSY 255 Question And Answers Quiz 6

• Question 1 2 out of 2 points A researcher has created a factorial research design. She has two between subjects variables. What type of design does the researcher have? • Question 2 2 out of 2 points Researchers Brescoll and Uhlmann (2008) wanted to know if men and women were judged the same for expressing similar emotions in the workplace. Participants in this experiment watched a video of a job candidate. The job candidates were being interviewed while sitting at a table. The job candidates were describing an incident in which they and a colleague lost an important account and how it made them feel. The first independent variable was sex of job candidate. Sex had two levels: male and female. The second independent variable was emotion displayed. Emotion displayed had two levels: anger and sadness. So, participants viewed one of four job candidates. In this study, the second independent variable of emotions displayed was a subjects variable. • Question 3 2 out of 2 points Which of the following statements is true regarding factorial research designs? • Question 4 2 out of 2 points A researcher has created a factorial design. She has a between subjects variable and a within subjects variable. What type of design does the researcher have? • Question 5 2 out of 2 points A factorial research design can be one of types. • Question 6 2 out of 2 points Researchers Brescoll and Uhlmann (2008) wanted to know if men and women were judged the same for expressing similar emotions in the workplace. Participants in this experiment watched a video of a job candidate. The job candidates were being interviewed while sitting at a table. The job candidates were describing an incident in which they and a colleague lost an important account and how it made them feel. The first independent variable was sex of job candidate. Sex had two levels: male and female. The second independent variable was emotion displayed. Emotion displayed had two levels: anger and sadness. So, participants viewed one of four job candidates. With this information, what type of factorial research design was used? • Question 7 2 out of 2 points A subjects factorial research design is a research design in which all independent variables are between subjects. • Question 8 2 out of 2 points A subjects factorial research design is a research design in which all independent variables are within subjects. • Question 9 2 out of 2 points A recent study by Dommeyer (2008) examined what factors influence whether or not people respond to a mail survey. In other words, are there factors that can influence if a person responds to a survey that he or she received in the mail? Dommeyer wanted to know if the attractiveness of the researcher (attractive and not attractive) in a cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. Dommeyer also wanted to know if the sex of the researcher (male or female) in the cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. So, participants viewed 1 of 4 mail surveys. The second independent variable of attractiveness of the researcher was a variable. • Question 10 0 out of 2 points A researcher wants to measure the effectiveness of three different treatment types as well as measure whether or not there is a difference in the effectiveness between males and females. The research would use a 3 X 2 design. What does the 3 stand for in a 3 X 2 design? • Question 11 2 out of 2 points A subjects factorial research design is a research design in which the independent variables are not all the same type. • Question 12 2 out of 2 points A recent study by Dommeyer (2008) examined what factors influence whether or not people respond to a mail survey. In other words, are there factors that can influence if a person responds to a survey that he or she received in the mail? Dommeyer wanted to know if the attractiveness of the researcher (attractive and not attractive) in a cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. Dommeyer also wanted to know if the sex of the researcher (male or female) in the cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. The second independent variable (or subject variable in this case) was sex of the researcher in the cover letter. It had levels. • Question 13 2 out of 2 points You are reading a journal article and the method section states that the design was a 3 X 3 between subjects factorial design. Automatically, you know that the study will have conditions. • Question 14 2 out of 2 points Catz and colleagues conducted an experiment with 207 individuals taking HIV medications. Participants were randomly assigned to read one of six vignettes. The vignettes varied by medical situation and physician prescription action. For medical situation, participants were randomly assigned to one of three levels. For physician prescription action, participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. In this example, the factorial design would be represented as: • Question 15 2 out of 2 points Which of the following statements regarding main effects is incorrect? • Question 16 2 out of 2 points N=1 designs are also known as designs. • Question 17 2 out of 2 points The A and B in an AB methodology stands for and respectively. • Question 18 2 out of 2 points The two categories for not using an ABA design are and . • Question 19 2 out of 2 points Watson and Rayner (1920) conducted a classic study in psychology using a subject known as Little Albert. In that experiment, the researchers conditioned Little Albert to associate a white rabbit with being scared. What type of design was used by Watson and Rayner (1920)? • Question 20 2 out of 2 points In single case designs, another name for a pretest-posttest methodology is a(n) design. • Question 21 2 out of 2 points Single case designs can have the same kinds of limitations that can be also found as limitations in designs. • Question 22 2 out of 2 points Which of the following is one of the three most common types of methodologies used in single case designs as described in our textbook? • Question 23 2 out of 2 points The A in AB designs stands for . . • Question 24 2 out of 2 points Which type of single case design methodology involves researchers having a small number of participants that receive the independent variable at varying times? • Question 25 2 out of 2 points Wundt’s use of introspection by participants is an example of methodology? • Question 26 2 out of 2 points According to the text, which of the following modern areas of psychological research might use single case designs? • Question 27 2 out of 2 points Ebbinghaus’ single subject design resulted in work on memory. Specifically, through his design, Ebbinghaus was able to demonstrate the . • Question 28 2 out of 2 points Single case designs are also known as designs. • Question 29 2 out of 2 points The B in AB designs stands for . • Question 30 2 out of 2 points What type of design focuses on a single participant, single group of participants, or a small group of participants?
