| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Interrater reliability | measures the consistency of ratings by different judges in their assessment decisions. |
| Construct validity | assesses whether the variables that you are testing for behave in a way to support your theory. |
| Data evaluation validity | refers to the parts of the evaluation that influence the conclusions (including statistical conclusions) reached about the experimental condition and its effect. |
| Attention is | a threat to construct validity because of different levels of attention across experimental and control groups. |
| Variability in the procedures is | a threat to data evaluation validity because procedures are inconsistently implemented across subjects. |
| A risk factor | increases the likelihood of some later outcome |
| A protective factor | reduces the likelihood of a deleterious outcome. |
| A moderator variable is | a characteristic that influences the direction or magnitude of the relationship between the IV and the DV. |
| A mediator variable is | an intervening variable that may possibly explain the relationship between the IV and the DV. |
| Quasi-experiments | approximate true-experiments because either random assignment is not possible or random assignment is achieved with the treatment group and not the control group. |
