Naturalistic observation does not require verbal instructions and, therefore, can be used to study the behaviour of infants and toddlers. Pat has developed a test to measure aggression. Pat gives the test to her developmental psychology class at the beginning of the term and again at the end of the term. Much to Pat's dismay, the results obtained at the end of the semester are completely diff erent from those obtained at the start. What is a likely explanation for the difference in results? The test is not reliable Under what circumstances would a natural (or quasi -) experiment be most useful? when strict random assignment cannot be used for ethical reasons Sometimes to best answer a research question, the investigator would have to ask children to participate in a potentially harmful situation. In this situation, what would ethical guidelines suggest? Other means of obtaining the information should be found or the research abandoned. Nancy is a developmentalist and she tells her friend that she believes it is important to study children in laboratory settings. She further states that there is no need to study the child's social relationships. Are Nancy's views consistent with the holis tic view of development? They are not consistent with the holistic perspective. How can the research goal of description be summarized? as What What is one of the main disadvantages of using the case study method? The data may not be representative of the general population. Dr. Lauterbach predicts that as the temperature of a room increases, individuals are more likely to act aggressively. What does Dr. Lauterbach's prediction exemplify? a hypothesis What is the name of an objective and replicable procedure to gather data for the purpose of testing a theory or hypothesis? scientific method What is a measure said to be if it accurately measures what it is designed to measure? valid Researchers studying the effects of alcohol consumption assessed the physical coordination skills of 21 -
year - old men. Prior to the assessment, each participant was randomly assigned to drink a beverage with either 4, 2, or 0 ounces of alcohol. In this stu dy, what is the independent variable? the amount of alcohol consumed Studies have indicated that children who watch violent films demonstrate more violent behaviours. One hypothesis for this finding is that children who are more aggressive might begin with choose more violent films to view. What is this notion of existing a ggression known as? confounding variable What is the major disadvantage of the quasi -experimental approach? nonrandom assignment of participants to groups Jean Piaget observed the development of his three children to develop a theory regarding which of the following? the development of logical thinking in children Hein participated in a study designed to measure personality traits. A strong positive correlation was found between the personality traits of openness and extroversion. If Hein's score in openness is extremely low, what would be his score on a test that m easures extroversion? most likely at the low end of the extroversion scale One philosophical view suggests that children are "selfish egoists" who must learn to rechannel their naturally selfish interests into socially desirable outlets.

Random assignment to either the control or experimental group is an important aspect of experimental procedures. Why is random assignment used? to equate the experimental and control groups Which characteristic of experimental design allows for more confident cause -effect interpretation than do other designs? random assignment of subjects to groups Suppose that a researcher wants to study the impact of peers on a child's acquisition of a cognitive task. The researcher uses a computer task to measure the difference in performance between Grade 1, Grade 3, and Grade 5 students, depending on whether the y work alone or in a pair. Which design does this research exemplify? cross -sectional Which research design involves experimenter control of an independent variable? experimental Suppose that a researcher is interested in studying the stability of behaviour over time and the individual differences that are characteristic of that temporal change. Which of the following research designs would he or she most likely use? longitudinal Peter tells his wife that he thinks that their 4 -year -old, Maria, is a good girl. When Maria misbehaves, Peter states that she is exploring and learning, and it is important for them to teach her more appropriate behaviour. Which of the following philosophical positions are Peter's views consistent with? innate purity If a researcher wanted to know how a child behaves in his or her everyday environment, which research technique would be most appropriate? naturalistic observation Dr. Donnetelli predicts that if parents are nurturing and responsive, then children are less likely to act aggressively. What does Dr. Donnetelli believe about parental responsiveness and children's aggression? They are negatively correlated. Aliya has been living in an Inuit community for the past three years to understand how the Inuit culture affects different aspects of development. Based on this example, which research method is Aliya using? ethnography Which research methodology allows for flexibility and adaptability to the individual child? he clinical method Lexis is conducting research related to moral development in children of different ages.

He administers the questionnaire to participants in February and then again in April. The scores obtained between the first and second tests are consistent. Based on this information, what can D r. Richards conclude about his questionnaire? It is reliable. Martinova interviews preschoolers to find out what they want to be when they grow up.

Which method of studying developmental change is Martinova using? cross -sectional Which statement best characterizes the use of psychophysiological research methods?

year -olds Lia has found a strong positive relationship between pet ownership and children's academic performance. What can Lia conclude from this result?

The belief that children are inherently selfish egoists is described by which of the following philosophical views? original sin What shortcoming of the case study approach is exemplified by the early "baby biographies"? lack of generalization In comparison to laboratory studies, what is the primary advantage of using a field experimental design?

Which research method should Minsun use to best answer her question? controlled experiment Suppose that the plasticity principle did not apply to development. How would this change our understanding of a child's abilities? Children who grow up in poor environments would suffer inevitably from their deficiencies. Which of the following defines the term dependent variable? an external, uncontrolled factor that fluctuates A researcher videotaped preschoolers at a playground for a study of the frequency of cooperative behaviours. What was the researcher's goal? description
