Across
  1. 1. A comprehensive examination of available research literature and information on a specific topic.

  3. 6. The standard against which experimental observations are evaluated.
  4. 8. Experimental design involving the manipulation of two or more independent variables.
  5. 10. The extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure.
  6. 11. The relationship between cause and effect, often investigated in research.
  7. 15. All individuals, items, or data of interest to a researcher.
  8. 17. A study in which both the researchers and the participants are unaware of who is receiving the treatment.
  9. 18. The process of conducting tests or trials to gather data in order to support or refute a hypothesis.
  10. 19. Any characteristic, number, or quantity that can be measured or controlled in research.
  11. 23. In-depth analysis of a single individual, group, or event.
  12. 24. The process of breaking a complex topic or substance into smaller parts to gain a better understanding.
  13. 26. The process of repeating a study or experiment to confirm its findings.
  14. 32. A statistical measure indicating the extent to which two or more variables fluctuate together.
  15. 33. Statistical methods that summarize a set of data.
  16. 34. The process of randomly assigning participants to different groups in an experiment.
  17. 35. A group of individuals who share a common characteristic or experience and are studied over time.
  18. 38. Statistical technique used to analyze the relationship between variables.
  19. 39. The consistency of a research study or measuring test.

Down
  1. 2. Principles of conduct governing an individual or group in research, including integrity, honesty, and respect.
  2. 3. Estimation of values within the range of known data points.
  3. 4. A measure of the dispersion or variability of a set of values from the mean.

  5. 9. An observation that significantly differs from other observations in a dataset.
  6. 12. A subset of individuals or objects collected from a larger population for research purposes.
  7. 13. A non-probabilistic sampling technique in which researchers divide the population into groups and then arbitrarily choose participants from each group.
