1A within-subjects design involves a study that has:
- Atwo or more independant groups
- Ba double blind set up
- Cmatched pairs
- Dtwo or more repeated measures
- Eparticipant observations
2a meta analysis can be described as what type of research?
- Adescriptive
- Banalytical
- Cqualitative
- Dexperimental
- Ehistorical
3Types of research?
- A- Systematic reviews and meta-analysis (Both forms of analytical research)
- B- Randomized controlled double-blind studies
- C- Cohort studies
- D- Case control studies
- E- Random Theories
- F- Normative Research
4What are the 4 broad categories?
- AAnalytical Research
- BDescriptive research
- CExperimental research
- DQualitative research
- EQuantitative Research
- FFigures Research
- GHistoric Research
5Where data already exists, its already been gathered or generated in the past and the researcher is trying to pull it all together and come with overall interpretation.
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
6Analytical Research consists off?
- A- Historical
- Philosophic
- Literature review
- Mata-analysis/systematic review - B- Historical
- Philosophy
- Literature review
- Experimental review - C- History research
- Philosophic
- Literature review
- Beta-analysis/systematic review
- A- Historical
7Descriptive Research consists off?
- ASurveys
- BCase study
- CDocumentary
- DCorrelational/ variables
- EHistorical
- FInternal Variables
8Surveys consist off?
- AQuestionnaires
- BInterview
- CNormative
- DVideos
- EPictures
9four sub-categories of descriptive research are?
- ASurveys
- BCase Study
- CDocumentary
- DCorrelational
- EInformation
- FVariables
10Positive Correlation means?
- AThe line of best fit, the trend bottom left to top right.
- BThe line of best fit, the trend top right to bottom
- CThe wavy line of best fit, the trend bottom left to top right.
11Negative Correlation is?
- AThe line of best fit, the trend top right to bottom left.
- BThe line of best fit, the trend top left to bottom right.
12Descriptive research only requires ONE variable to be measured?
- AVerdadero
- BFalso
13Scientists measure 4 types of behaviour
- AVerbal (what participants say, write, rate or report)
- BOvert reactions (what they do)
- CNon-verbal (body language)
- DPhysiological (heart rate, oxygen consumption, blood pressure, strength, sweating etc)
- EAll of the above
14The process of collecting valid and reliable measurements of behaviour can be undermined by three types of errors or bias: -
- AObserver Bias
- BRandom Error
- CParticipant Error
- DSurvey Error
- EReporting
156 WAYS TO REDUCE OBSERVER BIAS & RANDOM ERROR
- ATrain experimenters (observers) well and motivate them to be accurate & thorough
- BUse strictly defined criteria for assessment so that interpretations are consistent (e.g KPIs)
- CIf available use audio, video or photographic recording to allow checking of observation
- DStandardise measurements for each person
- EUse objective measure (e.g., heart rate monitors) to remove judgement from assessment
- FUse machines to observe and record behaviour
- GThis might not change the samples average value, but will certainly corrupt individual values
16Experimental Research
- ARepeated measures (Repeated testing) - Independent samples (Males and females or (Groups of people different from each other) - Mixed
- BFractional measures (Repeated testing) - Independent samples (Males and females or (Groups of people different from each other) - Mixed
- CRepeated measures (Repeated testing) - Independent samples (Males and females or (Groups of people different from each other) - Non-mixed
17Repeated Measures are:
- AAlso called within-subjects designs - Same sample of subjects is used throughout - Two or more measurements are made and compared
- BAlso called between-subjects designs - Two or more groups are formed/different samples of subjects are measured (usually just once) and compared - At least one of the groups will receive a treatment (experimental group) and one will not (control group)
18Independent Samples
- AAlso called between-subjects designs - Two or more groups are formed/different samples of subjects are measured (usually just once) and compared - At least one of the groups will receive a treatment (experimental group) and one will not (control group)
- BAlso called within-subjects designs - Same sample of subjects is used throughout - Two or more measurements are made and compared
19Research Design is when.....
- A- One or more samples of participants measured on one or more occasions
o 1 group measured twice (pre- & post-)
o 3 groups (drug, placebo & control) measured 3 times (pre-, mid- & post-) - B- There is a positive correlation between level of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) (X) and aerobic capacity (Y)
- So, researchers might suspect that increasing the amount of a persons LTPA causes their aerobic capacity to increase
- An experiment will solve this problem if certain important conditions can be met
- A- One or more samples of participants measured on one or more occasions
20Identifies 3 possible threats to an internal validity study
- ADiffusion of treatment
- BExperimenter effect
- CParticipant observer
- DParticipant effect
21A hypothesis should always
- AExplain what you expect to happen
- BBe clear and understandable
- CBe testable
- DBe measurable
- EContain an independent and dependant variable
- FAll of the above
22There are 4 levels of data (NOIR)
- A- Nominal
- Order
- Interval
- Ratio - B- Nominal
- Ordinal

- Ratio - C- Nominal
