Across
- 2. An in-depth study of a single person or group to reveal some universal principle.
- 7. In an experiment, the group that does not receive the treatment.
- 10. The relationship between variables.
- 11. A method of research that looks at different age groups at the same time in order to understand changes that occur during the life span.
- 12. A type of research in which the same people are studied over a long time period.
- 14. The study of behavior in a controlled situation.
- 18. A relationship between variables in which one variable increases as the other variable also increases.
- 19. In an experiment, the factor that is being measured and that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable.
- 21. The factor that is manipulated by the researcher to determine its effect on another variable.
- 24. Rules and standards for proper and responsible behavior.
Down
- 1. A measure of the distance of every score to the mean.
- 3. A study in which the participants are unaware of whether they are in the control group or the experimental group.
- 4. An experiment that uses both a control group and an experimental group to determine whether the independent variable influences on behavior and, if so, how it does so.
- 5. The concept that people who volunteer to participate in research studies often differ from those who do not volunteer.
- 6. The study of behavior in naturally occurring situations without manipulation or control on the part of the observer.
- 8. An inert substance used in controlled experiments to test the effectiveness of another substance.
- 9. correlation An unpleasant stimulus between two variables in which one variable increases as the other variable decreases.
- 13. An experiment in which neither the participant nor the researcher knows whether the participant has received the treatment or the placebo.
- 15. The total group to be studied or described and from whom samples may be drawn.
- 16. In a study, the participants who received the treatment.
- 17. Factors that are measured or controlled in a scientific study.
- 20. A prediction or assumption about behavior that is tested through scientific research.
- 22. A controlled scientific procedure to determine whether certain variables manipulated by the researcher have an effect on other variables.
- 23. An agreement by an individual to participate in research after receiving information about the purpose of the study and the nature of the treatment.
