  1. 2. Based on, concerned with, or verifiable by observation or experience rather than theory or pure logic
  2. 8. Take place at several points in time
  3. 10. A systematic compilation and written summary of all of the literature published in scientific journals that is related to a research topic of interest
  4. 11. A specific value of a variable
  5. 12. Works from the more general to the more specific
  6. 13. The attribute of a variable
  7. 16. A specific statement of prediction
  8. 17. A type of systematic investigation that is empirical in nature and is designed to contribute to
  9. 19. Tests a discovery under increasingly controlled conditions in real-world contexts
  10. 21. A specific statement of prediction stating what you expect happen in your study
  11. 24. Used to discuss the quality of various conclusions you might reach based on a research project
  12. 25. Uses many waves of measurement (more than 20)
  13. 27. A cause-effect relationship
  14. 28. A system for ensuring the accuracy and methodological integrity of published research articles
  15. 29. Pertaining to a cause-effect relationship
  16. 30. Some type of event, program, or treatment
  17. 31. The variable that is affected by the independent variable
Down
  1. 1. Any entity that can take on different values
  2. 3. Uses statistical methods to combine the results of similar studies quantitatively in order to allow general conclusions to be made
  3. 4. The hypothesis that describes the remaining possible outcomes
  4. 5. If your prediction specifies a direction, the null hypothesis automatically includes both the no-difference prediction and the prediction that would be opposite in direction to yours
  5. 6. High values on one variable are associated with high values on the other, and low values on one are associated with low values on the other
  6. 7. Whatever entity you are analyzing in your study
  7. 9. Moving from specific observations to broader generalizations and theories
  8. 14. two things are synchronized
  9. 15. Implies that high values on one variable are associated with low values on the other
  10. 18. Uses two or a few waves of measurement
  11. 20. The numerical representation of some object
  12. 22. knowledge
  13. 23. The systematic effort to move research from initial discovery to practice and ultimately to impacts on our lives
  14. 26. hypothesis When your prediction does not specify a direction
