Across
  1. 5. Variables that affect the strength or direction of the correlation between two variables
  2. 6. Type of records that are public and private documents of individuals, institutions, governments, and other groups.
  3. 9. One of the goals of the scientific method addressed by experimental research
  4. 10. A tentative explanation for the phenomenon a research seeks to investigate
  5. 12. Type of sampling in which there is no way to guarantee that each individual has some chance of being included.
  6. 13. Approach used in science to emphasizes the uniqueness of the individual and the necessity of studying individuals in depth.
  7. 18. Variable that is the factor a researcher manipulates with at least two levels in order to determine its effect on behavior
  8. 20. With regard to a measuring instrument, refers to the level at which an event is measured.
  9. 23. Variables used to explain a correlation between two variables
  10. 24. With regard to a measure, refers to its “truthfulness
  11. 25. One of three contexts in which science can be understood
  12. 26. Validity evaluated in survey construction in which the extent to which two measures of the SAME construct are correlated.
  13. 27. Type of sampling that enables the observer to choose difference settings, circumstances, and conditions for observations.
Down
  1. 1. With regard to a measuring instrument refers to the differences between the reading taken from the instrument and the value that is known to be true.
  2. 2. must precede the effect
  3. 3. Type of risk where harm or discomfort is not greater than what is experienced in daily life or during routine physical or psychological testing
  4. 4. Approach used in science with the goal of establishing broad generalizations and universal “laws” that apply to a diverse population.
  5. 7. When two potentially effective independent variables are allowed to covary simultaneously.
  6. 8. Type of sampling in which all individuals have an equal chance of being included in the sample.
  7. 11. A bias in which we try to understand behavior of individuals in different cultures through the framework of our own culture
  8. 14. Type of validity that describes the extent to which the results of a research study is applicable beyond the original study (to other people, other settings, other conditions)
  9. 15. Validity evaluated in survey construction in which the extent to which two measures of DIFFERENT constructs are NOT correlated
  10. 16. Variable that is the measure of behavior used by the researcher to determine the effect of the independent variable (if any).
  11. 17. With regard to a measure refers to the consistency of the measure.
  12. 19. An approach that involves direct observation of behavior
  13. 21. Type of validity that describes the extent to which an experiment is free of confounds (alternative explanations)
  14. 22. One of the goal of the scientific method addressed by correlational research
