Key Concepts in Research

Independent Variables (IV): Variable that is manipulated to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
Dependent Variables (DV): Outcome variable affected by the independent variable.

Types of Variables

Extraneous Variables: Uncontrolled variables that may affect the outcome of an experiment but are not the focus of the study.
- Demand Characteristics: Clues from environment or researcher affecting participant behavior.
- Experimenter Effects: Unintentional influence of researcher on participant responses.
- Participant Variables: Individual characteristics like prior knowledge or health impacting results.
- Situational Variables: Environmental factors like noise or lighting.
Non-experimental Variables:
- Predictor Variable: Used to predict another outcome; does not imply direct cause-and-effect.
- Criterion Variable: Another term for dependent variable in statistical modeling contexts.

Enrichment Activities

Activity #1: Identify IV and DV in given scenarios.
Activity #2: Analyze correlations without implying causation; brainstorm reasons for observed relationships.

Understanding Your Knowledge

Evaluative sections to reflect on understanding of variables using a rating system (Very Poor to Excellent).

Application and Critical Thinking

Exercises encourage connecting concepts to scenarios like smoking during pregnancy, exploring limitations of true experiments.

Assessment Questions

Multiple-choice questions to assess comprehension of key concepts such as extraneous variables and independent variables.

Guidelines for Using the Module

Handle the module carefully; avoid marking or damaging the material.

Final Notes

Aim for a thorough understanding of practical research concepts to enhance academic success and research skills.
