| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Types of within group designs and why | natural- siblings, t-test; natural sets- ANOVA; matched- matched on variable, matched sets- ANOVA; repeated measures- time 1, time 2 |
| T-tests (independent vs. dependent) | independent- btw 2 groups, dependent- depends, 1 group measured 2x or matched pairs measured once (natural or matched) |
| One-way ANOVA, when to use, how to read | 2 versions: randomized- btw groups, repeated measures- within groups; 3 times |
| Assumptions of repeated measures ANOVA | interval/ratio, homogenous variance, normally distributed, data correlated |
| Benefit of repeated measures | controls individual differences |
| Eta-squared | (ANOVA)- effect size |
| When to use post hoc tests | when significant for ANOVA |
| Advantages of correlated t-tests | reduce individual error |
| confounds | uncontrolled extraneous variables |
| how to control | Latin square, counterbalance |
| internal validity | if IV had an effect on the DV |
| external validity | generalizability |
| Assumptions of a randomized ANOVA | observations are independent, interval/ratio, homogenous variance, normally distributed |
| Between group variance= | systematic (effect of IV) +error (us being human) |
| IV affects between group variance (big vs. small) | F is big for bigger effect of IV, small is close to 1 |
| Figure df for randomized ANOVA= | (k-1), (n-k), correlated t-test= n-1 |
| F ratio= | between/ within variance |
| Large within group variance= | difficulty in telling if the IV has an effect |
| Systematic variance= | effects of the IV & includes confounds |
| Benefits of a multi-group design | (compare treatment types- humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, control & 2 experimental, or placebo) |
| Bonferroni | minimize type 1 |
| Between vs within group design | btw- easier to create, within- harder to create but have more power of significance |
| When to accept or reject the null | when p< .05, when the observed value is higher than the critical value |
| how to increase power | significant difference, small variability, big sample |
| equivalent groups | matched subjects strength, create equivalent groups, more power (match age, intelligence, gender) |
| Carry-over effects, order effects-within | threat to within group designs |
| Cohen’s d | t-test effect size |
| effect of sample variance on t | as variance increases, t value decreases; too much chance, not enough btw group difference |
| College sophomore problem | too much studies on college students, data skewed |
| types of replication | exact- do it the same way, conceptual- a new population, change more things, measures, or methods; systematic- changing 1 thing (1 level of the IV or scale or could add a layer) |
| Floor effect | cutoff |
| Ceiling effect | no one scores higher |
| single-blind | participant doesn’t know who gets the treatment but the researcher does |
| double-blind | both don't know |
| Diffusion of treatment | 1 person talks about it & it diffuses, Christmas example; word spreads |
| Threats to internal validity | affects the IV |
| Threats to internal validity: | Mortality- loose participants or die; history- something in the world is going on, ex. Covid; instrumentation- use a broken MRI, wrong scale, enter things wrong/bias; maturation- people change |
| Regression to the mean | if low, will go back to the mean, score above, you’ll regress to the mean |
| Fatigue, practice effects | done more than once, will score be higher; threats to internal validity |
| control group | baseline |
| experimental group | treatment |
