  1. Research Methods Jeopardy

  2. Scientific Method: 10 • This type of research is concerned with gathering knowledge for its own sake, not with solving applied problems BASIC research

  3. Scientific Method: 20 • Non-scientific way of knowing based on what has been believed for a great deal of time TENACITY

  4. Scientific Method: 30 • Assumption of science that states that every effect has a cause DETERMINISM

  5. Scientific Method: 40 • Assumption of science that states that simple explanations are preferred to complex ones, all other things being equal. PARSIMONY

  6. Scientific Method: 50 • Description, prediction, understanding and change/control GOALS OF SCIENCE

  7. Research Methods: 10 • Type of research that uses data previously gathered for another purpose. ARCHIVAL research

  8. Research Methods: 20 • In-depth study of a single participant, usually someone with unusual characteristics or background CASE STUDY

  9. Research Methods: 30 • The only type of research that can show cause and effect relationships EXPERIMENT

  10. Research Methods: 40 • Relationship in which one variable decreases as the other variable increases NEGATIVE CORRELATION

  11. Research Methods: 50 • Type of study in which the researcher has some control over an independent variable, but cannot randomly assign participants to groups QUASI-EXPERIMENT

  12. Ethics: 10 • List of ethical principles derived after World War II in response to Nazi “experiments” on prisoners NUREMBERG CODE

  13. Ethics: 20 • Site of the infamous syphilis studies that caused concern over ethics in medical research TUSKEGEE

  14. Ethics: 30 • Researcher whose studies of obedience were partly responsible for the APA’s development of its code of ethics MILGRAM

  15. Ethics: 40 • Act of informing research participants at the end of the study what the true purpose of the research was, and clearing up any deception that was used DEBRIEFING

  16. Ethics: 50 • Ethical principle that states that participants must have enough information to make a good decision about participating in the study of their own free will INFORMED CONSENT

  17. Variables: 10 • The presumed cause; the variable that is manipulated by the researcher INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

  18. Variables: 20 • The presumed effect; the variable that is measured by the researcher DEPENDENT VARIABLE

  19. Variables: 30 • Variable in a correlational study that is similar to the independent variable in an experiment PREDICTOR VARIABLE

  20. Variables: 40 • Variable in a correlational study that is similar to the dependent variable in an experiment CRITERION VARIABLE

  21. Variables: 50 • Confounding variable, that varies along with the independent variable EXTRANEOUS VARIABLE

  22. Double Jeopardy

  23. Experiments: 20 • Each participant has an equal chance of being selected for the experimental group or the control group RANDOM ASSIGNMENT

  24. Experiments: 40 • A statistical test that shows you precisely where the significant differences lie after an ANOVA tells you that significant differences exist somewhere. POST HOC TEST

  25. Experiments: 60 • An experimental design which involves manipulating the presence of a pretest as well as the presence of a treatment SOLOMON 4-GROUPS DESIGN

  26. Experiments: 80 • A quasi-experimental design involving multiple pretests and multiple post-tests INTERRUPTED TIME SERIES

  27. Experiments: 100 • Type of external validity concerned with the ability to generalize from one time period to another TEMPORAL GENERALIZATION

  28. Statistics: 20 • Type of statistical test that looks for differences among 2 or more groups with one or more independent variables ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE (ANOVA)

  29. Statistics: 40 • Type of statistical test that looks for differences between only two experimental conditions T-TEST

  30. Statistics: 60 • Type of measurement that varies qualitatively, in categories; for example, male/female; guilty/not guilty NOMINAL

  31. Statistics: 80 • The most frequently occurring score in a distribution MODE

  32. Statistics: 100 • Error in which you reject the null hypothesis, but in fact there was nothing more than chance operating TYPE I ERROR

  33. Threats: 20 • Something that happens at the same time that your treatment is put into effect HISTORY

  34. Threats: 40 • Problem that occurs when participants grow older and their behavior changes because of their age rather than the treatment MATURATION

  35. Threats: 60 • Problem when participants are measured multiple times, and this multiple measurement affects behavior TESTING

  36. Threats: 80 • Problem that occurs when participants drop out of different conditions at different rates MORTALITY

  37. Threats: 100 • Problem that occurs when very low (or high) pretest scores naturally migrate toward the center of the distribution on the next testing REGRESSION TOWARD THE MEAN

  38. Odd & Ends: 20 • Type of logic that moves from specific to general INDUCTIVE

  39. Odds & Ends: 40 • Reactivity effect, that occurs when participants change their behavior because they are being watched. HAWTHORNE EFFECT

  40. Odds & Ends: 60 • Rearranging the order of treatments in a repeated measures design to avoid order effects COUNTERBALANCING

  41. Odds & Ends: 80 • Every person in the population has an equal chance of being in the sample RANDOM SAMPLE

  42. Odds & Ends: 100 • Experimenter expectancy effect; when the experimenter’s beliefs about the hypothesis cause the participant to behave in a particular way. ROSENTHAL EFFECT
