Cohen's d effect size measures how strong a relationship exists (.2

Single subject reserach is dubbed as - answer idiographic (these types are
also making a come back. As well as qualitatitve research popularized by
freud and piaget)

nomothetic
reserach that bridges the gap between research and applicaion/practice.
made popular by kurt lewin. intended to ikmprove situation with local
people/clients. self surveys usually used to conduct this reserach. - answer
Action research
In ____, reseracher uses preexisting groups and the IV cant be altered. -
answer quasi experiemetnal
you cant for sure state that IV casued DV.
One popular type: Ex post facto study: After the fact. IV administered
befroe study began.
____Validity refers to wheater the DVs were truly influenced by teh IVs or
whether other factors had an impact. - answer Internal
,Threats: maturation of subjects, mortality (subjects withdrawing) ,
instruments used, statistical regression (notion taht super high or low
scores would move toward the mean if measure is utlized again).
__validity refers to whether the experimental results can be genralized to
larger populations - answer external
statistical procedures that use the important or underlying factros in an
atempt to summarize a lot of variables - answer factor analysis
Nonparametric statistical measure that tests whetehr a distribution differs
significantly from an expected theoretical distribution - answer chi square
Occam's razor (aka parsimony) suggets experimenters interpret results in
the _____manner - answer simplest
aka lloyd morgan's 1894 canon
also: flaws in research are often called bubbles
the ______(journal) publishers more counseling reserach articles than any
other periodical in our field - answer jounral of counseling psychology
Research conducted to advnace our understanding of theory - answer
basic
reserach conducted to advance our knowledge of how theories, skills, and
tehcniques can be used in practical application. - answer applied (aka
action or experience near)
If your exam describes a true experiment (like biofeedback) except for the
fact that groups were not ranodmly assigned, then the new exams are

a survey should have at least ___people - answer 30, 30 , 100

fisher
null hypothesis: "IV does not affect DV"
alternative/affirmative hypothesis: "IV does affect DV"
Percentage score only gives you a ____score - answer notes
Percentage score aka a raw score
A percentage score of 50 merely says taht examinee got half of the
answers correct.
From a purely statistical standpoint, in order to compare a conrol group to
the experimental group, the reseracher will need ____ - answer a test of
significance
In this case, a t-test: two groups/two randomized groups research design.
in this study, two groups were independent of each other.
P or p in relation to a test of significance it means - answer probability
traditionally: social science says .05 or lower (like .01 or .001). .05 would
indicate that there is a 5% chance the differneces between control and
experimental group is due to chance. you will get same results 95 out of
100 times.
Error: occurs when reseracher rejects null when it is true - answer type I
alpha. Probablitity of committing equals level of significance or alpha
FYI increasing sample size reduces type i and II errors.
Error: occurs when accept null when it is false - answer type II beta
1 - beta=power (Power is ability to reject correctly a false null
hypothesis. )
