14. provides backgroud information that may shed light on present behavior, but responses may not be honest and include bias
15. provides accurate, objective information(little chance of distorting results) however tests limit the amount of information they can contain
16. research that takes place outside the laboratory
17. a set of fixed, generalized beliefs humans hold about a given group(can be a confusing variable)
19. what is being tested
20. the factor in a study that changes or varies as a result of changes in the independent variable

2. group that has the critical thing done to them
3. rearcher can be completely objective and proides accurate information but may not reflect the real world (where)
4. necessary for certain kinds of research(studies on development)however it is expensive and time consuming

7. it can invalidate the study
11. the factor that the experimenter manipulates or changes in a study (always after "if")
