Question
Answer
Structures and procedures used in constructing research designs.   show
🗑
show Nonequivalent comparison group design  
🗑
An outcome in which the experimental and the control groups differ at pretesting and both increase from pre- to posttesting, but the experimental group increases at a faster rate.   show
🗑
Participates in one group experience a different rate of maturation than participants in another group.   show
🗑
show Selection-history effect  
🗑
show Selection-instrumentation effect  
🗑
show Selection-attrition effect  
🗑
show Selection-regression effect  
🗑
show First increasing treatment effect  
🗑
show Second increasing treatment effect  
🗑
show Crossover effect  
🗑
show Interrupted time-series design  
🗑
show Regression discontinuity design  
🗑
Measure used to assign participants to experimental and control groups. Those with scores below the cutoff score are assigned to one group, and those with scores above the cutoff are assigned to the other group.   show
🗑
AKA panel study (longitudinal study). ppts are studied over a period of time to see if their risk factors will cause a predicted outcome. Outcome from participants in each cohort is measured and relationships with specific characteristics determined.   show
🗑
show Cross-lagged panel design  
🗑
A research design in which an experimental procedure is applied but all extraneous variables are not controlled.   show
🗑
What makes a design a quasi-experimental design?   show
🗑
How can you rule out rival hypotheses in quasi-experimental designs?   show
🗑
show 1. control/comparison groups 2. pretest 3. posttest 4. within-participants/bt participants IV 5. inclusion of interesting theoretical IV 6. measurment of theoretical DV  
🗑
Most common quasi-experimental design?   show
🗑
Diagram the nonequivalent comparison group design   show
🗑
6 types of Quasi-Experimental Designs/sub categories   show
🗑
What are the 6 biases that result from no random assignment in a quasi experimental design?   show
🗑
show 1. Increasing treatment and control groups 2. First increasing treatment effect 3. Second increasing treatment effect 4. Crossover effect  
🗑
What rival hypotheses can exist in Outcome I from using a nonequivalent comparison group design   show
🗑
What rival hypotheses can exist in Outcome II from using a nonequivalent comparison group design   show
🗑
show Second increasing threatment efect. (10.5) Control no change but started higher than experimental (s-regression). Experimental increases. Threats: s-regression, selection bias.  
🗑
show Cross over effect: (10.6) Ideal image. Experiment began lower and ended up higher than control line. Control does not change. Threats: confounding variables.  
🗑
show 1. Matching: when you cannot randomly select, you can match. But do not match low scores and match high scores because this will cause regression artifact. 2. Statistical control: using stats to determine like-characteristics into groups. ANCOVA.  
🗑
show Reliabilty adjusted anaylsis of covariance. Another statistically adjusting approach is: propensity score matching and selection modeling.  
🗑
How are rival hypotheses ruled out in a time-series design and what rival hypothesis cannot be ruled out.   show
🗑
show Find out cut off score, either pick the ones above or below cut off score for treatment. Purposely making a regression op= test cut off c=cut off x=treatment o2=measure Experimental group: Op C X O2 Control group: Op C O2 contin. line :( b  
🗑
What is a cohort design and why can this design be used   show
🗑
When would you use a cross lagged panel design and what are the three components of this design. Explain the purpose of each component   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
