The possibility that correlational relationships may result from the action of an unobserved
variable is called the _____. correct answers third-variable problem

To resolve the third-variable problem, a researcher must _____. correct answers examine the
effects of each potential third variable to determine whether it accounts for the observed
relationship

Research that primarily involves observing the values of two or more variables and determining
what relationships exist between them is known as _____ correct answers correlational research

The third-variable problem

Identify a situation in which a correlational research design is chosen over an experimental
design. correct answers To see how naturally occurring variables relate in the real world

,What is the role of a third variable in correlational relationships that may have resulted from the

Experimental research has a defining characteristic of control over extraneous variables.

In order to manipulate an independent variable in an experimental research design, a researcher
must _____. correct answers expose research participants to at least two levels of that variable

Identify a consequence of the uncontrolled variability of extraneous variables in experimental
research. correct answers It may make it impossible to detect any effects of the independent
variable.

Identify the true statement about random assignment. correct answers It allows the use of
inferential statistics to evaluate the probability with which chance alone could have produced the
observed differences.

The ability of a research design to adequately test the hypotheses developed is known as its
_____. correct answers internal validity

Multiple choice question. correct answers It does not necessarily present a serious threat to
internal validity.

variation in the dependent variable.

Internal validity in a correlational study
matches
Choice, Changes in the value of the criterion variable relate solely to changes in the value of
your predictor variable and not to changes in other, extraneous variables.
