- 7. A representative segment of a target population.
- 12. The factor that is being measured and that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable.
- 13. An experiment that uses both a control and an experimental group to determine whether the independent variable influences behavior and, if so, how it does so.
- 14. A measure of the distance of every score to the mean.
- 16. The study of behavior in a controlled situation.
- 18. A study in which the participants are unaware of whether they are in the control group or the experimental group.
- 19. A method of research that looks at a different age groups at the same time in order to understand changes that occur during the life span

- 1. A sample drawn in such a way that known subgroups within a population are represented in proportion to their numbers in the general population.
- 2. A prediction or assumption about behavior that is tested through scientific research.
- 3. An unpleasant stimulus between two variables in which one variable increases as the other variable decreases.
- 8. An inert substance used in controlled experiments to rest the effectiveness of another substance.
- 9. The factor that is manipulated by the researcher to determine its effect on another variable.
- 10. The study of behavior in naturally occurring situations without manipulation or control on the part of the observer.
- 11. The concept that people who volunteer to participate in research studies often differ from those who do not volunteer.
- 15. An agreement by an individual to participate in research after receiving information about the purpose of the study and the nature of the treatment.
- 17. To build or form by putting together parts.
