Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of correlational research?

  • To examine the effect of a single independent variable on a dependent variable
  • To compare the means of two or more groups
  • To identify naturally occurring relationships between variables (correct)
  • To establish cause-and-effect relationships between variables

What is the main advantage of within-subjects designs?

  • They can be used to establish cause-and-effect relationships
  • They are more cost-effective than between-subjects designs
  • They control for individual differences between participants (correct)
  • They allow for the comparison of means between groups

What is the purpose of using a summary measure to assess the fit of a model?

  • To select the most parsimonious model
  • To identify the most important predictor variable
  • To evaluate the degree to which the model explains the data (correct)
  • To determine the statistical significance of the model
