PSYC 304 FINAL RESEARCH METHODS
Athabasca University

Authority - Answer -based on someone's else's language

logic - Answer -- based on reason

intuition - Answer -- a way of knowing spontaneous instinctive processes rather than on logic or
reasoning
- spontaneous perception or judgment not based on reasoned mental steps

Variable - Answer -- A factor that can change in an experiment with different conditions

dependent variable - Answer -The measurable effect, outcome, or response in which the research is
interested.

Frequency - Answer -The number of times a behaviour is performed

rate - Answer -The number of times that a behaviour is performed relative to time

duration - Answer -length of time something lasts

Latency - Answer -- The amount of time b/w the instruction and when the behaviour is actually
performed

Topography - Answer -- The shape or style of the behaviour

Force - Answer -The intensity or strength of a behaviour

1 / 3

locus - Answer -- Where the behaviour occurs in the environment

variable of interest - Answer -a variable for which its role in the cause and effect of an observed
relationship is not clear

subject variable - Answer -- Independent variables that the researcher does not manipulate
- Ex: age, sex, iQ

Confounded Variables - Answer -Two variables are _______ if the investigator cannot separately identify
their effects on the response variable.

quantitative variable - Answer -- ones that varies in amount

Categorical Variable (Qualitative) - Answer -ones that varies in kind

continuous variable - Answer -a quantitative variable that has an infinite number of possible values that
are not countable

discrete variable - Answer -Consists of separate, indivisible categories. No values can exist between two
neighboring categories.

real limits - Answer -the interval defined by the number plus or minus half the distance to the next
number

Measurement - Answer -- Process of assigning numbers to events or objects according to rules

Nominal scales - Answer -- Classifies objects or events into categories
- Simplest kind of scale b/c its rule for assigning numbers or other labels to objects or events

ordinal scale - Answer -- a scale of measurement in which the measurement categories form a rank order
along a continuum
2 / 3

- One that ranks or events in order of their magnitude

Interval Scales - Answer -- measure in which the differences between numbers are meaningful; includes
both nominal and ordinal information

ratio scale - Answer -measurement that has a natural, or absolute zero and therefore allows the
comparison of absolute magnitudes of the numbers

permissible transformations - Answer -- ways that we can alter the assignment of numbers to individual
events without distorting the scale

parametric statistics - Answer -- those that make assumptions about the population from which the data
are drawn —namely, that the data are normally distributed and each group has the same variance
- include the usual Pearson correlation coefficient, the t test, and analysis of variance

nonparametric statistics - Answer -various tests that are based on rank order of the data or on the sign of
the differences between subjects
relatively infrequently used b/c they lack power compared with the corresponding parametric test

Reliability - Answer -- The property of consistency of a measurement that gives the same result on
different occasions

Validity - Answer -the extent to which a test measures or predicts what it is supposed to

construct validity - Answer -a test that the measurements actually measure the constructs they are
designed to measure, but no others

face validity - Answer -idea that a test should appear superficially to test what it is supposed to test

content validity - Answer -- notion that a test should sample the range of the behaviour that is
represented by theoretical concept being measured
