381 Quiz 4 Study

Front 1

Factorial designs

Back 1

Multiple independent variables are “crossed”

Front 2

main effect stats

Back 2

the effect of an independent variable on a dependent variable averaging across the levels of any other independent variables. The term is frequently used in the context of factorial designs and regression models to distinguish main effects from interaction effects.

Front 3

interaction effect stats

Back 3

may arise when considering the relationship among three or more variables, and describes a situation in which the simultaneous influence of two variables on a third is not additive. Most commonly, interactions are considered in the context of regression analyses.

Front 4

Mixed method factorial design

Back 4

Some within-subjects variables
Some between-subjects variables

Still 2x2 in the example

Within subjects example: baseline level empathy and empathy level after training

Between subjects example: Empathy training condition and other training condition

Front 5

examples of why someone would not use randomized research

Back 5

parenting example (with kid), medical example (with depression...also age, gender, etc.

so cannot make causal conclusions but can lean in that direction if study is good enough

Front 6

participant observation

Back 6

researcher becomes a participant

Front 7

content analysis

Back 7

qualitative data becomes quantitative, typically descriptive

Front 8

archival analysis

Back 8

qualitative data becomes quantitative, typically descriptive but could be relational

Front 9

secondary observation

Back 9

working with data that you had no part in collecting, could be any kind of study

Front 10

unobtrusive observation

Back 10

researcher has no direct contact with the participant, behavior/attitude/etc. is inferred from what is left behind

e.g.: BIRG, lost letter technique
can be qualitative, quantitative, descriptive, relational
not experimental because participants cannot be randomly assigned to conditions

Front 11

field experiments

Back 11

performed outside of the lab

Front 12

lab experiments

Back 12

performed inside the lab

Front 13

case study

Back 13

one participant/case
typically descriptive
can be relational if we measure variables within the person
can never be a true experiment because of random assignment

Front 14

research proposal

Back 14

a special type of research paper aimed at a particular audience, such as your research adviser or the institutional review board, and written with an eye toward both expected and alternative possible results

Front 15

iterative process

Back 15

collaborative writing should be this kind of process..characterized by alternating periods of solitary writing, peer editing and team based discussion and feedback sessions

Front 16

a good thesis statement

Back 16

is a concise summary of your team's idea and predictions, and it should leave very little to the imagination

Front 17

main Problems associated with group writing (2)

Back 17

1. particular individuals not following through on their commitments
2. Lack of cohesion in the "voice" of the paper

Front 18

reversing outlining

Back 18

outlining after the draft has been written....so that illogical transitions, missing concepts and repetition of ideas are identified

Front 19

3 general guidelines to avoid bias in writing

Back 19

1. describe appropriate level of specificity
2. be sensitive to labels
3. acknowledge participation
