Professor Cooky wants to know whether young children who play on co-ed soccer
teams are more flexible in their thinking about gender stereotypes compared with young
children who play on same-sex soccer teams. She randomly assigns children to one of
these two conditions and gives them a pre-test measure of their gender stereotypes,
finding no differences in level of stereotyping. The children complete the 2-month

, season. At the end of the season, she administers a similar measure of gender
stereotypes. She finds that children on co-ed teams held fewer gender-stereotypical
beliefs compared to children on same-sex teams. She conducted an experiment. The
unique advantage of this type of design is that

-she has no idea what she can say from this study
-she relied on norms to determine what was typical or average in stereotypical beliefs
-she was able to identify the cause in children's changes in their stereotypical beliefs
-she can only say that playing soccer is associated with stereotypical beliefs

Professor Ruple is interested in studying how the use of media (such as having the TV
on, answering text messages, or listening to music) affects students' ability to study for
their course. It would be better if she got permission to look up the students' grade point
average (GPA) with the registrar rather than to ask the students to self-report their
GPAs because

-it won't be clear to students what information Professor Ruple is looking for when she
asks about their GPA
-students don't pay much attention to grades, so many many not have this information in
their memory
-GPA changes so frequently that it is difficult for students to accurately recall what it is
-they might not correctly report their GPA in an attempt to make themselves look better
to the researcher

You are interested in looking at the relation between education and well-being. You
decide you will use the number of years of schooling completed as the way you will
measure level of education. This step in the scientific method is called:

-standardizing your measure
-establishing the validity of your measure
-determining if your measure is reliable
-operationalizing the concept

Children who have been the victims of child maltreatment are followed from early
childhood through adolescence with their psychological and emotional well-being
assessed every 3 years during this time. This is an example of a(n)

-correlational study

-cross-sectional study

One of the advantages of doing research by using observations is that we can

-observe behavior as it naturally occurs
-compare a single individual to an entire group of individuals
