Question
Answer
Meta-Analysis   A Quantitative method for statistically evaluating the results of a large body of prior research on a specific topic;from multiple studies _  
🗑
____________ designs are strongest for testing nomothetic causal hypothesis and are most appropriate for treatment effects   Experimental  
🗑
Research questions that are believed to involve basic social physiological processes are most appealing for ___________ studies because the problem of generalizability is reduced   Laboratory  
🗑
Random assignment reduces the possibility of preexisting differences between _________ and ___________ groups to small, specifiable, chance levels, so many of the variables that might create a spurious association are controlled.   Treatment, Comparison  
🗑
An experimental design requires a degree of ________ that cannot always be achieved outside the laboratory.   Control  
🗑
_____ experiments thus require careful monitoring of the treatment process.   Field  
🗑
Laboratory experiments permit much more _______ over __________, but at the cost of less generalize findings .   Control, Conditions  
🗑
People who volunteer for most laboratory...is a good possibility that experimental subjects ______ from those who do not volunteer.   Differ  
🗑
_______ and _________ constraints limit the types of treatments that can be studied experimentally (you can't assign ______ class or ____ experimentally)   Ethical, Practical, Social, Race  
🗑
The problem of generalizability in an experiment using __________ lessens when the object of investigation is an ___________, ________, or ______ _______ that is relatively invariant.   Volunteers, orientation, behavior, social process  
🗑
Both surveys and experiments typically use ____________, ___________ measures of attitudes, behaviors, or social processes   Standardized, Quantitative  
🗑
Closed-ended questions are most common and are well suited for the reliable measurement of variables that have been studied in the ____ and whose meanings are ____ __________.   Past, Well Understood  
🗑
Most social science surveys rely on ______ ________ for their selection of cases from some larger population, and it is this feature that makes them preferable for descriptive research that seeks to develop generalizable findings.   Random  
🗑
Survey questionnaires can only measure what respondents are willing to report _______; they may not be adequate for studying behaviors or attitudes that are regarded as socially unacceptable.   Verbally  
🗑
When variables that might create spurious relationships are included in the survey, they can be controlled _____________ in the analysis and thus eliminated as a rival causal influences   Statistically  
🗑
Qualitative methods presume an intensive measurement approach in which indicators of concepts are drawn from ______ ___________ or __-_____ __________; When it is not clear what meaning people attach to a concept or what a particular questions about it.   Direct observation, In-Depth Commentary  
🗑
Qualitative methods are also admirably suited to the ___________ of new or poorly understood social settings, when it is unclear of what concepts would help one understand the situation   Exploration  
🗑
Meta-analysis   Is a quantitative method for identifying patterns in findings across multiple studies of the same research question.  
🗑
Meta-analysis is like conducting a survey in which the "___________" are previous studies   Respondents  
🗑
Meta-Analysis explains how...?   explains how it varies across research studies  
🗑
Meta-Analysis can describe the ________ affect the studies findings   Variation  
🗑
Meta-Analysis can be used when a number of studies have attempted to answer the ____ research question with similar _____________ methods, most often experiments   Same, Experimental  
🗑
Meta-Analysis is not appropriate for evaluating results from _____________ studies or from multiple studies that used different methods or measured different dependent variables   Qualitative  
🗑
It is not sensible to combine _____ ________ and original case data   Study Results  
🗑
Meta-Analysis is a technique for ____________ and __________ analysis of published research reports   Combination, Statistical Analysis  
🗑
List some of the Eligibility Criteria for a Research?   Distinguishes features, Research respondents, Key variables, Research Methods, Cultural Linguistic Range, Time Frame, & Publication type  
🗑
Effect Size   A standardized measure of association - often the difference between the mean of the experimental group and the mean of the control group on the dependent variable, adjusted for the average variability in the two groups.  
🗑
Reverse Outlining   Outlining the sections in an already written draft of a paper or report to improve its organization in the next draft.  
🗑
