CPCE Chapter 9: Research and Program
Evaluation, Test Questions and answers,
100% Accurate, Verified.
The most valuable type of research is - ✔✔-the experiment, used to discover cause and effect
relationships
Internal validity - ✔✔-refers to whether the dependent variables were truly influenced by experimental
indep. variables or whether other factors had an impact
External validity - ✔✔-refers to whether the experimental research results can be generalized to larger
populations like other people or other settings
Experiments emphasize parsimony, which means - ✔✔-Interpreting the results in the simplest way
-tendency to be miserly and not overspend
Occam's Razor suggests that experimenters - ✔✔-interpret the results in the simplest manner
-same thing as parsimony
A counselor educator is running an experiment to test a new form of counseling. Unbeknownst to the
experimenter one of the clients in the study is secretly seeing a gestalt therapist. This experiment - ✔✔-
is confounded/flawed
-invalid because extraneous IV being gestalt therapy so it flaws the experiment
Nondirective is to person-centered as - ✔✔-parsimony is to Occam's Razor
The APA's journal of counseling psychology publishes more _______ _______ than any other periodical
in our field - ✔✔-counseling research articles
,An experiment is said to be confounded when - ✔✔-undesirable variables are not kept out of the
environment
In experimental terminology IV stands for ____ and DV stands for _____ - ✔✔-independent variable;
dependent variable
independent variable - ✔✔-variable that researcher manipulates, controls, alters, or wishes to
experiment with
dependent variable - ✔✔-variable that expresses the outcome or data; numerical usually in quantitative
form; data is key word; all in regards to what you are measuring
A professor of counselor education hypothesized that biofeedback training could reduce anxiety and
improve the average score on written board exams. If this professor decides to conduct a formal
experiment the IV will be the _____ and the DV will be the ____ - ✔✔-biofeedback is IV; board exam
score is DV
-biofeedback is what you are controlling
-exam score is what the data will be
Experimenters should always abide by a code of ethics. The variable you manipulate/control in an
experiment is the - ✔✔-independent variable
In order for the professor of counselor education to conduct an experiment regarding his hypothesis he
will need a ____ and a _____ - ✔✔-control group and experimental group
control group - ✔✔-does not receive the independent variable or treatment
experimental group - ✔✔-does receive the independent variable or treatment
If you cannot randomly assign the subjects to two groups, your exam will consider this experiment.... -
✔✔-quasi-experiment
, In order for the professor of counselor education to conduct the experiment suggested in previous
question, the experimental group would need to receive - ✔✔-the manipulated IV and the biofeedback
training
Hypothesis testing is related to work of - ✔✔-RA Fisher
hypothesis - ✔✔-statement which can be tested regarding the relationship of the IV and the DV
The null hypothesis suggests that there will not be a significant difference between the experimental
group which received the IV and the control group which did not. Thus, if the experiment in question
was conducted, the null hypothesis would suggest that - ✔✔-biofeedback will not improve the board
exam score
null hypothesis - ✔✔-the IV will not impact the DV
The hunch is known as the experiment or alternative hypothesis. The experimental hypothesis suggests
that a difference will be evident between the control group and the experimental group. Thus, if the
experiment in question were conducted, the experimental hypothesis would suggest that - ✔✔-the
biofeedback would raise board scores
-asserts that the IV has indeed caused a change
From a purely statistical standpoint, in order to compare a control group to the experimental group the
research will need - ✔✔-a test significance
correlation coefficient - ✔✔-a statistical index of the relationship between two things (from -1 to +1)
-with an IV in question, this would not be the means of testing two groups
descriptive statistics - ✔✔-numerical data used to measure and describe characteristics of groups
-Includes measures of central tendency and measures of variation
-mean, median, and mode data described
