r value indicates a [small] 0.10 - 0.20
effect/variation
Each pair of scores from a correlation is plotted as a
Scatterplot
single point on a graph
Cohen's d = 1 The means are separated by 1 standard deviation
Describes the magnitude of the effect of the IV on the
Cohen's d
DV
% of scores fall within 3 99.7%
SD
% of scores fall within 2 95%
SD
% of scores fall within 1 SD 68%
Variability The spread in a distribution of scores
Mean as most useful It maximises the use of all data
measure of central - Can use in statistical analysis
tendency
Value of central tendency Mode
to use when you have
[nominal or ordinal
variables]
Value of central tendency Median
to use when [outliers]
Structural equation SEM examines models that specify a set of
modelling relationships among many variables
No
Yes/No is IV x PV true
- Participant variables are not randomly assigned or
experimental design
controlled
Statistical analysis to Multiple Regression
assess the unique
contribution of each
variable in a correlation

Is the measure not related to what it shouldn't relate
to?
Discriminant validity
- The measure should be able to discriminate
between the construct being measured and other
unrelated constructs
Assesses how well a certain set of items relate to one
another
Internal consistency
reliability - Is a participants score on this construct similar
across items that are aimed to measure related
aspects of the construct
Quality that single case Generalizability
experiments lack
Setting that true In applied settings
experiments generally
harder to perform
What the person is like when he/she is aware of being
Reactive measure show
observed
Type(s) if scale(s) allow Internal and ratio
you to make quantitative
distinctions?
What an animal care 1 scientist with experience in animal use
committed is composed 1 institutional member who does not use animals
of 1 experienced vet and a community member
Multiple baseline: Across Same behaviour is measured in different settings
situations
Multiple baseline: Across Several different behaviours of a participant are
Behaviours measured over time
Multiple baseline: Across The behaviour of several participants is measured
participants over time
