List of Questions17 questions
  1. Question 1
    • They allow for high levels of standardization and control.
    • They eliminate all situational variables.
    • They provide a natural setting.
    • They can easily measure extraneous variables.
  2. Question 2
    • They require lab equipment.
    • They lack the ability to manipulate independent variables.
    • They cannot control all variables affecting the dependent variable.
    • They often provide clear cause-and-effect relationships.
  3. Question 3
    • It ensures that the independent variable changes the dependent variable.
    • It makes the experiment more realistic.
    • It simplifies the experiment design.
    • It increases the generalizability of findings to real life.
  4. Question 4
    • The speed of data collection methods.
    • The efficiency of the laboratory equipment used.
    • How well the study represents what it intended to measure.
    • The accuracy in measuring dependent variables only.
  5. Question 5
    • Variability in the data increases.
    • The experiment becomes less realistic and more artificial.
    • It becomes easier to find cause-and-effect connections.
    • Results become more applicable to real-world scenarios.
  6. Question 6
    • Field experiments are always randomized.
    • Field experiments require less participant engagement.
    • Real-life conditions can introduce many unforeseen variables.
    • Field experiments do not manipulate any variables.
  7. Question 7
    • The results are always viewed as highly valid.
    • The results typically confirm the hypotheses clearly.
    • Participants may find them too engaging.
    • They can become irrelevant when applied to real-world scenarios.
  8. Question 8
    • If the study truly measures what it intended to measure.
    • Whether the sample size is large or small.
    • The time taken to conduct the experiment.
    • The complexity of statistical analysis conducted.
  9. Question 9
    • The degree to which a study measures what it intends to measure
    • The extent to which the study replicates real-life conditions
    • The effectiveness of the experimental treatment on the outcome
    • The ability to generalize findings to other populations
  10. Question 10
    • Statistical Validity
    • Construct Validity
    • Internal Validity
    • Ecological Validity
  11. Question 11
    • The sample size is too large for valid conclusions
    • Participants are not representative of the larger population
    • The experiment includes too many uncontrolled variables
    • The experimental setting does not accurately reflect real-world conditions
  12. Question 12
    • High internal and external validity
    • High internal validity but low external validity
    • High ecological validity and low internal validity
    • High external validity but low internal validity
  13. Question 13
    • They may be too specific or unique to generalize findings
    • They often lack an experimental group to compare
    • They can be replicated easily across different settings
    • They usually manipulate too many variables at once
  14. Question 14
    • Aggression can only be measured in laboratory settings
    • There are multiple factors in real life that may affect aggression
    • Violent video games always lead to increased aggression in everyday life
    • The results should be applied universally without reservations
  15. Question 15
    • It evaluates if a study accurately establishes causality between variables
    • It assesses how findings from a study can be applied across different populations or settings
    • It examines if the measurements used are valid and reliable
    • It considers the control of confounding variables in an experiment
  16. Question 16
    • Natural experiments provide the best internal validity
    • All experiments must have high internal validity to be credible
    • High internal validity correlates with low ecological validity
    • Field experiments always have lower internal validity than laboratory studies

  1. Card 1
    HintThink: Controlled setting, like a lab.Memory TipLab coat = controlled environment
  2. Card 2
    HintThink: Observing behavior in the real world.Memory TipOut in the field, observing nature
  3. Card 3
    HintThink: Does the study actually measure what it claims to measure?Memory TipValid = True Measurement
  4. Card 4
    HintThink: What the researcher changes.Memory TipIndependent = What you change
  5. Card 5
    HintThink: What the researcher measures.Memory TipDependent = What is measured
  6. Card 6
    HintThink: Uncontrolled factors that can mess up the results.Memory TipExtraneous = Unwanted influence
  7. Card 7
    HintThink: Do the findings apply to other people and situations?Memory TipGeneralize = Apply to others
  8. Card 8
    HintThink: The experiment is not like real life.Memory TipArtificial = Not real
  9. Card 9
    HintThink about how well the experiment controls factors to isolate the effect of the treatment.Memory TipInternal = within the experiment
  10. Card 10
    HintConsider if the experiment's findings would generalize to different situations or populations.Memory TipExternal = beyond the experiment
  11. Card 11
    HintImagine how well the experimental findings would hold up in real-world scenarios.Memory TipEcological = real-world setting
  12. Card 12
    HintConsider a study examining the impact of a major event (like a hurricane) on a community.Memory TipNatural = real-life event
  13. Card 13
    HintThink of a study that perfectly isolates the effect of a treatment but may not be applicable to other situations.Memory TipStrong within, weak outside
  14. Card 14
    HintImagine a study that captures real-world behavior but may not have controlled for all confounding factors.Memory TipWeak within, strong outside
