🗑
show 1. we live in groups 2. we develop language 3. we develop gender roles

🗑
Why can’t we rely on our personal observations to provide explanations?   show
🗑
How are hypotheses involved in the research process?   show
🗑
How are theories related to hypotheses?   show
🗑
show People asking question that involves in interviews and written questions.  
🗑
show Random selection captures the proportions of given types of people in the population as a whole while convenience sampling can produce proportions that are severely skewed away from the actual population as a whole.  
🗑
show Positive moves in the same direction, negative moves in opposite directions, and zero means there’s no relationship at all.  
🗑
What does the correlation coefficient tell us?   show
🗑
show +1 and -1  
🗑
What kind of conclusion can we draw from correlational research?   show
🗑
show No. Correlation does not mean causation because there is always a possibility that there is a third variable present that may affect the DV.  
🗑
What 3 conditions must be met for a study to be considered a valid experiment?   show
🗑
What is the main advantage of experimental studies?   show
🗑
show Other variables that may influence the DV  
🗑
what is the difference between confounding and noise?   show
🗑
show A mean of the probability that a given result could have occurred by chance.  
🗑
show Effect of a single IV  
🗑
show Combined effect of two IV’s  
🗑
show External validity shows how well the results of a study generalize to contexts outside the conditions of the lab. Internal validity shows confidence that only the manipulated variable could have produced the results.  
🗑
did subjects perceive the manipulation as intended? (what is a manipulation check?)   show
🗑
show Demand characteristics are features of the experiment that give clues about hypothesis.  
🗑
is there experimenter bias? (how would we reduce it?)   show
🗑
Reliability – what is it?   show
🗑
Replication – what is it?   show
🗑
