Replication m. Standard Deviation n. Random Sample o. Informed Consent p. Case Study r. Experimental Group • 1. When a study is repeated to confirm the results. • 2. An in depth study of one group, usually will utilize multiple types of research tools to collect data. • 3. An educated guess that can be tested by research. • 4. A chance that all of the people in the target population have a chance to be a part of the study. • 5. A group of people that receives a different treatment than the control group. • 6. People agree to participate in the study. • 7. When the researcher stretches the data collected in order to fit their desired outcome. • 8. When we study a number of people at different ages for the same variables. • 9. Conducting surveys where respondents will write answers to questions or answer a series of questions in a an interview. • 10. Factors in an experiment that can change. • 11. An assessment form that measures the individual’s ability to learn. • 12. As the amount of one variable increases, another variable decreases. • 13. The whole group of people you wish to study or predict behavior for. • 14. A tool to enable researchers to observe subjects in settings that are normal to their daily activity. • 15. The measure of distance of every score from the mean.

  3. Super Impressive Round 2

  4. Super Impressive Round 2 We conduct an experiment on the academic, and social effects of participating in Band, Choir, and Orchestra will have on students. If we propose that students who take band over the other two musical offerings are more likely to be more socially adjusted to their peers, then we are making one of these. Answer: Hypothesis

  5. Super Impressive Round 2 If we conduct an analysis of grade achievement by members of the these three groups versus the grade achievement of the students not in the music programs and we find that the more years of music instruction one has the better their math scores tend to be, then we have established a what? Answer: Positive Correlation

  6. Super Impressive Round 2 To conduct a study of how much time orchestra students spend practicing their instruments versus that of the choir members, we hand them a list of questions which ask if they spend 4 hours or less a week, 5 -6 hours, 6-8, or 8 plus hours a week in practice. Which measurement tool have we utilized? Answer: Self administered Questionnaire

  7. Super Impressive Round 2 What types of questions were asked in the last example? Answer: Close Ended Questions

  8. Super Impressive Round 2 Instead of asking each band member to answer our data collection device, we pick every fourth band member that enters the band room to participate in our study. We are getting a what? Answer: Random Sample

  9. Super Impressive Round 2 When the orchestra students begin to learn their instruments, the director has those that wish to be percussionists try out by measuring their specific skills in tempo, rhythm, and the ability to use multiple instruments. The director is truly giving the students one of these? Answer: Aptitude Test

  10. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3

  11. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3 We conduct a study on altruism. Altruism is the practice of selfless concern for the well being of others. In our study we test to see if children who attend Sunday school regularly are more altruistic than are those who do not attend. When we review the results we found no correlation between attending Sunday school and the amount of altruism each person displayed. We have thus proven one of these? Answer: Null Hypothesis

  12. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3 We may be skeptical of people that are seeking us out so they can be a part of our study. They may want to be a participant just so they can tell others about all the good deeds they do for others because they find it socially desirable. We would want to watch out for this issue? Answer: Volunteer Bias

  13. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3 To study missionaries in Guatemala, we read up on their work there. We conduct an online survey for the missionaries, we select a few and interview them, and we visit the missionaries in their place of work in Guatemala. This style of in-depth investigation would constitute a what? Answer: Case Study

  14. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3 We conduct a study at the Guatemalan orphanage. We gather all the orphans together in a room and ask them a series of questions as one unit. Answer: Group Administered Questionnaire

  15. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3 If we were to test the orphans for post traumatic stress, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder, we might think about administering this test with wild inkblot like images and then attempt to interpret their responses? Answer: Rorschach Test

  16. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3 If we were to go and live among the orphans in their orphanages, and try to observe without interference, for an extended period of time, we would be conducting this type of study. Answer: Ethnography

  17. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3 If we were separate the orphans, place half in a program in the United States to be brought to the states and raised here, and half would remain in Guatemala, and raised there. The group that moved to the US would be which type of group in our study? Answer: Experimental

  18. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3 When we conduct our study, we tell the orphans that we are there as a part of the mission team, in reality we are observing them and trying to explain behavior of the children. We are careful not abuse this ethical principle. Answer: Deception

  19. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3 We conduct our study in this year and then return to contact the subjects and check in on their lives every 4 years from now until they are 50. We have conducted what type of research? Answer: Longitudinal Study

  20. Fantastical Fun Final Round 3 In surveying missionaries, we want to make certain that we had a large amount of American, Brazilian, South Korean, and Indian respondents because they are the largest senders of missionaries. We are attempting to get this type of representation? Answer: Stratified Sample
