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