Research techniques = established, agreed-upon ways/tools by which we aim to get reliable
and valid results
● Reliable = replicable
● Valid = saying something about the thing you want to say something about
Independent sample t-test
The variables y=…
The parameter of interest μL = population mean of y for …
μG = population mean of y for …
δ = difference between the two population
means
δ = μL - μG
The null hypothesis Ho δ=0
The alternative hypothesis Ha δ>0
Test statistic
yL = sample mean
yG = sample mean
d = sample difference, point estimate of
parameter
SEd = estimated standard error of the
difference
Ho distribution of test statistic Under Ho, calculated t follows theoretical
t-distribution with N-2 degrees of freedom

Covariance = measures the extent to which positive / negative deviations from the mean on
variable X1 (proportionally) go together with positive / negative deviations from the mean on
variable X2.
●
● For given variances of X1 and X2, covariance is the largest when observations are
on a straight line = a linear relation
Problems for the interpretation
- Covariance depends on units of the measurement scale
- Maximum value and minimum value of covariance also depend on units of
measurement scale
Pearson correlation = divide covariance by product of standard deviations
●
● Measure of strength of linear
relationship
● Does not depend on units of
the measurement scales
● Varies between 1 and -1
● Suppose Z1 and Z2 are the
standardized versions of X1
and X2, then:
r (X1, X2) = cov (Z1,
Z2) = r (Z1, Z2)

● Independent observations
● Variables normally distributed
● Sample obtained by simple random sampling

Confidence intervals = estimate of the smallest interval in which 95% of the correlations will
fall, when we draw samples over and over again from the population.
R-squared = coefficient of determination (proportion of the variance accounted for)
● 0.01 is small
● 0.09 is medium
● 0.25 is large
Simple regression
● Regression weights / coefficients b0 (intercept) and b1 (slope) estimated such that
variance is as small as possible (Method of Least Squares)
Multiple correlation coefficient = R = = effect size
