Experiment correct answers The most valuable type of research is the _____
Experimental research correct answers The process of gathering data in order
to make evaluative comparisons regarding different situations
Experimenter; Random assignments correct answers An experiment must have the conditions of
treatment controlled via the _____ and _____ _____ (also called randomization) used in the
groups
Quasi-experiment correct answers In the _____ the researcher uses preexisting groups, and hence
the IV (independent variable) cannot be altered (e.g., gender or ethnicity)
Internal validity correct answers Refers to whether the DVs were truly influenced by the
experimental IVs or whether other factors had an impact
External validity correct answers Refers to whether the experimental research results can be
generalized to larger populations (i.e., other people, settings or conditions)
Factor analysis correct answers Refers to statistical procedures that use the important or
underlying "factors" in an attempt to summarize a lot of variables
Chi-square correct answers A nonparametric statistical measure that tests whether a distribution
differs significantly from an expected theoretical distribution
