- 25. the broad moral guiding principles that people should consider when conducting research
- 27. researchers must be committed to conducting themselves in an ethical and honest manner
- 29. the variables that remain the same for each condition
- 31. the study must maximise any potential benefits to society whilst minimising harm to others

- 42. each member of a research sample an equal chance of being in the control or experimental condition of the study
- 43. the prediction of the impact of one variable on another
- 44. this type of study provides background information on specific phenomena that can inform new studies and hypotheses
Down

- 7. the process of selecting participants to be involved in a study
- 9. researchers must provide details of the nature and purposes of the study and of any procedures involved
- 10. the average score
- 11. participants from the sample are allocated to either the control or experimental group
- 14. the most frequently occurring score
