PSY 255 QUESTION AND ANSWERS QUIZ 6

• Question 1 2 out of 2 points You are reading a journal article and the method section states that the design was a 2 X 3 between subjects factorial design. Automatically, you know that the study will have conditions. • Question 2 2 out of 2 points Researchers Brescoll and Uhlmann (2008) wanted to know if men and women were judged the same for expressing similar emotions in the workplace. Participants in this experiment watched a video of a job candidate. The job candidates were being interviewed while sitting at a table. The job candidates were describing an incident in which they and a colleague lost an important account and how it made them feel. The first independent variable was sex of job candidate. Sex had two levels: male and female. The second independent variable was emotion displayed. Emotion displayed had two levels: anger and sadness. So, participants viewed one of four job candidates. Which statement below accurately describes this research design? • Question 3 A factorial research design can be one of types. 2 out of 2 points • Question 4 2 out of 2 points Which of the following statements is true regarding factorial research designs? • Question 5 Which of the following statements regarding main effects is incorrect? 2 out of 2 points • Question 6 2 out of 2 points You are reading a journal article and the method section states that the design was a 3 X 3 between subjects factorial design. Automatically, you know that the study will have conditions. • Question 7 2 out of 2 points A recent study by Dommeyer (2008) examined what factors influence whether or not people respond to a mail survey. In other words, are there factors that can influence if a person responds to a survey that he or she received in the mail? Dommeyer wanted to know if the attractiveness of the researcher (attractive and not attractive) in a cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. Dommeyer also wanted to know if the sex of the researcher (male or female) in the cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. This quasi-experiment would be referred to as a X research design. • Question 8 research designs have more than one independent variable. 2 out of 2 points • Question 9 2 out of 2 points Which of the following statements is not true regarding factorial research designs? • Question 10 2 out of 2 points You are reading a journal article and the method section states that the design was a 4 X 3 between subjects factorial design. Automatically, you know that the study will have conditions. • Question 12 2 out of 2 points A recent study by Dommeyer (2008) examined what factors influence whether or not people respond to a mail survey. In other words, are there factors that can influence if a person responds to a survey that he or she received in the mail? Dommeyer wanted to know if the attractiveness of the researcher (attractive and not attractive) in a cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. Dommeyer also wanted to know if the sex of the researcher (male or female) in the cover letter would influence if people responded to the mail survey. The first independent variable was attractiveness of the researcher in the cover letter. This independent variable had levels. • Question 13 2 out of 2 points Researchers Brescoll and Uhlmann (2008) wanted to know if men and women were judged the same for expressing similar emotions in the workplace. Participants in this experiment watched a video of a job candidate. The job candidates were being interviewed while sitting at a table. The job candidates were describing an incident in which they and a colleague lost an important account and how it made them feel. The first independent variable was sex of job candidate. Sex had two levels: male and female. The second independent variable was emotion displayed. Emotion displayed had two levels: anger and sadness. So, participants viewed one of four job candidates. With this information, what type of factorial research design was used? • Question 14 2 out of 2 points In the standard form X , what goes in the first blank? • Question 15 2 out of 2 points Catz and colleagues conducted an experiment with 207 individuals taking HIV medications. Participants were randomly assigned to read one of six vignettes. The vignettes varied by medical situation and physician prescription action. For medical situation, participants were randomly assigned to one of three levels. For physician prescription action, participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions. In this example, the factorial design would be represented as: • Question 16 Which of the following is not one of the three most common type of methodologies used in single case designs as described in our textbook? 2 out of 2 points • Question 18 2 out of 2 points According to the text, in which of the following areas are single case designs most likely to occur? • Question 19 Internal validity is the power of the research design to . 2 out of 2 points • Question 20 2 out of 2 points Single subject designs are more commonly known as designs. • Question 21 Single case designs are also known as designs. 2 out of 2 points • Question 22 2 out of 2 points According to the text, which of the following modern areas of psychological research might use single case designs? • Question 24 2 out of 2 points Kuoch and Mirenda (2003) conducted a single case design in which they looked at the influences of a social story on the behavior of autistic children. The researchers would observe the participants in certain problem situations, recording their behavior. Then, the researchers would read the participants a story before a problem situation was presented. They would then record the number of behaviors exhibited by the participants in relation to the problem situation. Finally, the researchers removed the story and recorded the number of behaviors the next time the problem situation arose. What is the dependent variable in this study? • Question 25 2 out of 2 points Research done by Ebbinghaus where he was his own participant is an example of which type of research design? • Question 26 2 out of 2 points What type of design focuses on a single participant, single group of participants, or a small group of participants? • Question 27 2 out of 2 points The A and B in an AB methodology stands for and respectively. • Question 29 The A in AB designs stands for . 2 out of 2 points • Question 30 2 out of 2 points Which of the following classic studies in psychology is a single case design?
