Research Validity

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Research validity  
🗑
show Statistical conclusion validity  
🗑
The observed relationship is probably not due to chance.   show
🗑
The extent to which a construct is adequately represented by the measres used in a research study.   show
🗑
show Participant reactivity to the experimental situation  
🗑
show Demand characteristics  
🗑
Participants' motivation to respond in such a way as to present themselves in the most positive manner.   show
🗑
Actions and characteristics of researchers that influence the responses of participants.   show
🗑
show Experimenter expectancies  
🗑
show Experimenter attributes  
🗑
The correctness of inferences made by researchers about the cause and effect.   show
🗑
Occurs when an extraneous variable co-occurs with the IV and affects the DV.   show
🗑
show Confounding extraneous variable  
🗑
The influence of an extraneous variable is same on all of the IV groups.   show
🗑
Using control strategies to make the influence of extraneous variable constant across the IV groups so that the only systematic difference between the group is due to the influence of the IV.   show
🗑
Any event that can produce the outcome, other than the treatment condition, that occurs during the study before the posttest measurment.   show
🗑
The groups in a multigroup design experience differnt hisotry events that result in differences on the DV.   show
🗑
Any physical or mental change that occurs with the passage of time and affects DV scores.   show
🗑
show Instrumentation  
🗑
Changes in a person's score on the second administration of a test resulting from having previously taken the test.   show
🗑
Effects that appear to be due to the treatment but are due to regression to the mean. Occurs when the sample includes extreme groups of people.   show
🗑
Another name for Regression artifacts   show
🗑
Loss of participants because they don't show up or they drop out of the research study.   show
🗑
show Differential attrition  
🗑
show Selection  
🗑
Differences between groups is produces because of the combined effect of two or more threats to internal validity.   show
🗑
show Selection-history  
🗑
show Selection-maturation  
🗑

🗑
show Selection-testing  
🗑
show Selection-regression artifcat  
🗑

🗑
show 1. History 2. Maturation 3. Instrumentation 4. Testing 5. Regression artifact 6. Attrition 7. Selection 8. Additive/Interactive Effects

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
