  1. 1This design has one manipulated independent variableSingle-Variable Design
  2. 2This design has two or more independent variablesFactorial Designs
  3. 3This design does not have random assignment of subjects to groups or other strategies to control extraneous variablesPreexperimental Design
  4. 4This design uses randomization and provides maximum control of extraneous variables, has the greatest internal validityTrue Experimental Design
  5. 5This design lacks randomization but employs other strategies to provide some control over extraneous variablesQuasi-Experimental Design
  6. 6This is manipulated by the experimenter, also called the treatment, or XIndependent Variable
  7. 7The group that is given the independent variable treatment(s)Experimental Group
  8. 8The group that does not receive the experimental treatment. Receives a different treatment or none at all.Control Group
  9. 9This design involves three steps: 1). Pretest measuring dependent variable. 2). Applying experiemental treatment to subjects. 3). Administering a posttest, measuring dependent variable.One-Group pretest-posttest design
    (R)0-X-0
    __________
    (R)0-*-0
    (P. effects are history and maturation)
  10. 10This design uses two or more preexisting or intact (static) groups, only one of which is exposed to the experimental treatmentStatic Group Comparison
  11. 11This is a scientific investigation, in which the researcher manipulates one or more variables and systematically introduces changes, and observes.Experiment
  12. 12What are the three characteristics of an experiment?1) Independent variable is manipulated
    2) All other variables are controlled
    3) Effect of the ind. variable on the dependent variable is observed.
  13. 13If two situations are equal in every respect except for a variable that is added to or deleted from one of the situations, any difference appearing between t he two situations can be attributed to that variableLaw of the single dependent variable
  14. 14If two situations are not equal, but it can be demonstrated that none of the variables except the ind. variable is significant, then any difference occurring between the two situations after introducing a new variable to one of the systems can be attributed to the new variableLaw of the single significant variable
  15. 15The extent to which the changes observed in a dependent variable are, in fact, caused by the independent variable in a particular experimental situations rather than by some extraneous factors. Basic requirement to draw correct conclusions from an experimentInternal Validity
  16. 16What are the 11 threats to internal validity? (MDS HIRED PMS)Maturation, Diffusion, Subject Effect

  17. 17Specific events or conditions, other than the experimental treatment, may occur in the environment between the first and second measurements and may produce changes in the dependent variable (events occurring at same time as experiment)History
  18. 18Refers to changes (biological or psychological) that may occur within the subjects simply as a function of the passage of timeMaturation
  19. 19Exposure to _______ administered before the experimental treatment may affect the subject's performance on a second test, regardless of the treatmentPre-Testing
  20. 20The _____ threat to internal validity is a result of the unreliability of the measuring instruments or a change in the instruments used during the studyInstrumentation
  21. 21Refers to the well-known tendency for subjects who score extremely high or extremely low on a pretest to score closer to the mean (regression toward the mean) on a posttest, regardless of the treatmentRegression
  22. 22Is a threat when there are important differences between the experimental and control groups even before the application of the experimental treatment, occurs when intact groups must be used (not randomized)Differential Selection
  23. 23This threat occurs when there is differential loss of participants from the comparison groupsMortality
  24. 24This threat involves unintentional effects that the researcher himself has on the study, example is gender, race, positionExperimenter Effect

  29. 29Occurs when participants in one group (typically the experimental group) communicate information about the treatment to subjects in the control group in such a way as to influence the latter's behavior on the dependent variableDiffusion
