QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
the goal of experimental research is to - ANSWER establish and
demonstrate a cause and effect relationship between two
variables
to accomplish the goal of experimental research, an experiment
must - ANSWER manipulate one of the two variables and isolate
the two variables being examined from the influence of other
variables
an experimental study contains the following four basic
elements - ANSWER manipulation
measurement
comparison
control
are all research studies experiments? - ANSWER no
, Page |2
manipulation - ANSWER researcher manipulates one of the
variables to look for changes in the other variable, creates 2 or
more treatment conditions
measurement - ANSWER second variable is measured in each
treatment condition
comparison - ANSWER scores in one treatment condition are
compared with scores in another treatment condition
control - ANSWER all other variables are controlled to prevent
influence on the two variables being studied
in an experiment, the variable that is manipulated by the
researcher is called - ANSWER independent variable
the independent variable is manipulated by - ANSWER creating
a set of treatment conditions
the specific conditions that are used in the experiment are
called - ANSWER levels of the independent variable
