- Athe probability of your observed effect occurring by chance given the null hypothesis is true
- Bthe probability of your observed effect occurring by chance
- Cthe probability that the null effect is false given the alternative hypothesis is true
- Dthe probability that your results are due to systematic error variance
2A _____ occurs when you fail to reject the null hypothesis when it is actually false and a ______ occurs when you reject the null hypothesis when it is actually true?

3Jamela is testing whether rural kids and urban kids perform differently on spatial reasoning tasks. She is worried that socioeconomic status (SES) could become a confound; therefore, she makes sure that rural kids are matched with Urban kids on SES. What type of design is her study?
- AIndependent Group Design
- BMatched Group Design
- CRepeated Measures Design
- DNon-Equivalent Group Design
4After her first experiment, Jamela is now testing whether professor encouragement influences student performance on research methods test. She randomly assigns APU students to either receive positive encouragement or negative encouragement. What type of design is her study?
- Anon-equivalent group design
- Bindependent group design
- Cmatched group design
- Drepeated measures design
5Jocelyn decided to replicate Jamela's experiment on professorial encouragement. However, in experiment she is concerned that overall GPA is strongly related to the effectiveness of the encouragement. As a result, she firsts matches her participants on GPA, then randomly assigns them to receive either positive or negative encouragement. What type of design is her study?
- Aindependent group design
- Bnon-equivalent group design
- Cmatched group design
- Drepeated measures design
6After her past experiment, Jocelyn became interested in whether negative encouragement affecting the test performance of European-Americans different than Asian-Americans. She decided to match European-Americans and Asian Americans on GPA, then give both groups negative encouragement before completing a test. What type of design is her study?
- Aindependent group design
- Bmatched group design
- Crepeated measures design
- Dnon-equivalent group design
7Which of the following influence an experiments Power?

8Which of the following best describes construct validity?
- Athe degree to which measures are accurate

9The ______ represents the average score of a sample, while the ______ represents the amount of variance between scores within a sample?
- AStandard Deviation, Mode
- BVariance, Mean
- CMean, Standard Deviation
- DMedian, Variance
10A ________ design is preferred when one is concerned that exposure to more than one condition would lead to inaccurate results, and a _______ design is preferred when one has a limited sample size.
- ABetween-subject, experimental
- BExperimental, between-subject
- CBetween-subject, within-subject
- Dwithin-subject, between-subject
11What is it called when participant's behavior is influenced by the mere knowledge that he or she is in an experiment.
- Ademand characteristics
- Bnon responsive bias
- Chawthorne effect
- Dconfirmation bias
12What is it called when a feature of the experimental procedure increases the chances that participants will detect the true purpose of the study and behave according to the perceived hypothesis?
- Ademand characteristics
- Bnon responsive bias
- Chawthorne effect
- Dconfirmation bias
13Poor experimental construct validity is most likely to
- Alimit the reliability of your measures
- Blimit your ability to say that changes in your IV caused changes in your DV
- Cimprove the external validity of your study
- Dimprove your ability to make causal claims
14which of the following best describes external validity?
- Athe degree to which measures are accurate
- Bthe degree to which the study is applied
- Cthe degree to which generalizations can be made
- Dthe degree to which the sample is representative
15increasing your sample size is likely to lower the amount of ______ in your study.
