| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Internal Validity | Observed differences on the DV are directly related to the IV and not due to some other unintended variable |
| External Validity | defree to which the conclusions in your study would hold for other persons, other places, measures conditions and times |
| Represnetative Sample | sample closely matches the population |
| Biased Sample | a sample that differs from the population |
| Nonrespondent Bias | Those who will respond in a survey that differs in significant ways from those who do not |
| Sampling bias/ selection bias | sampling procedure favors the selection of some individual over others |
| Target population | Entire collection of people of things you are interested in- ex- people living in ROC |
| Accessible Population | the specific data from which the sample is drawn- Ex- phone book |
| Sample | Subset of some of the units of the population Ex-400 people |
| Probability sampling | Simple Random, Systematic, Stratified |
| Non-probability sampling | convenince, quota |
| Simple Random Sampling | Every member has an equal probability of being sampled, less likely to be biased- dis- need to know the entire population to select from it |
| Systematic Sampling | Selecting the nth partcipant from the population list- adv- saves time and energy, dis- not entirely bias free; each item doesnt have equal chance to being selected |
| Stratified Random Sampling | the population is divided into subgroups (strata)and random sampling techniques are then used to select sample member from each subgroup- divide population into various strata. Randomly simple within each strata |
| Proportionate Stratified Random Sample | sample from each strata should be proportional to the population |
| Convenience Sample | no random select individuals who are easy to get- Ex- volunteers |
| Quota Sample | set using some characteristics of the population thought to be relevant selected, non-randomly - Adv- may allow representative sample, Dis- selection bias |
| Sample Size | critical factor is wheather sample is representative, necesary sample size depends on population size |
| Reporting Partcipants in APA papers | state how partcipants were selected, describe how they were selected, identifying procedures taken to protect the partcipants |
