Across
  1. 4. (Placed as CORRELATION across with COEFFICIENT conceptually linked)
  2. 7. (repeats in grid) — See Across 1.
  3. 8. EVIDENCE
  4. 9. — Supports conclusions; research provides this to guide conclusions.
  5. 12. — Organized explanation based on observations; predicts behavior.
  6. 13. CASESTUDY
  7. 14. SURVEY
  8. 15. key (filled grid — letters only)
  9. 18. THEORY
  10. 20. CAUSATION
  11. 22. — Correlational research allows this even without causation.
  12. 24. — Precise descriptions of variables; explains how concepts are measured.
  13. 26. — What experiments test (cause and effect); note correlation ≠ this.
  14. 29. — Direction where variables increase together (e.g., study time and grades).
  15. 31. — Improved by random sampling across populations.
  16. 34. — Direction where one variable increases while the other decreases (e.g., stress and sleep).
Down
  1. 1. — Numerical measure of relationship; range
  2. 2. to
  3. 3. — Self-report method that measures attitudes or behaviors.
  4. 5. — Testable prediction derived from theory; states expected outcome.
  5. 6. OBSERVATION
  6. 10. clues
  7. 11. RANDOMSAMPLE
  8. 13. HYPOTHESIS
  9. 14. OPERATIONAL
  10. 16. — Each member has equal chance; improves generalizability.
  11. 17. — Test cause and effect; require control and manipulation.
  12. 18. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1: C A S E S T U D Y _ _ 2: O B S E R V A T I O N 3: S U R V E Y _ _ _ _ _ 4: H Y P O T H E S I S 5: T H E O R Y _ _ _ _ _ 6: O P E R A T I O N A L 7: R A N D O M S A M P L E 8: C O R R E L A T I O N 9: C A U S A T I O N _ _ 10: E V I D E N C E _ _ _
  13. 19. — Operational definitions allow this by making procedures repeatable.
  14. 21. clues
  15. 23. — Measures relationship between variables; numerical measure is a coefficient.
  16. 25. — In-depth study of one individual or group; useful for rare conditions.
  17. 27. layout (10 x 10). Fill letters into the numbered slots. Use blank squares for unused cells.
  18. 28. with underscores are unused/empty to fit word lengths.)
  19. 30. — Observe behavior in natural environment; records real-world behavior.
  20. 32. CORRELATION
  21. 33. — Intuition is unreliable and research reduces this; also observer or sampling types.
