Down: 1) a technique for ascertaining the self-reported attitudes or behaviors of a particular group, usually by questioning a representative, random sample of the group2) a research method in which an investigator manipulates one or more factors (independent variables) to observe the effect on some behavior or mental process (dependent variable)3) experimental results caused by expectations alone; behavior change caused by the administration of an inert substance or condition, which the recipient assumes is an active agent4) the tendency to believe, after learning an outcome, that one would have foreseen it6) participants are put in experimental and control groups by chance, thus minimizing preexisting differences between those put in groups to the different groups9) a statement of how likely it is that an obtained result occurred by chance11) a computed measure of how much scores vary around the mean score14) not exposed to the treatment; contrasts with the experimental group and serves as a comparison for evaluating the effect of the treatment16) an experimental process in which both the research participants and the research staff are ignorant about whether the research participants have received the treatment or a placebo18) exposed to the treatment to one version of the independent variable22) a measure of the extent to which two factors vary together, and thus of how well either factor predicts the other24) the postexperimental explanation of a study, including its purpose and any deceptions, to its participants25) an observation technique in which one person is studied in depth in the hope of revealing universal principles Across: 5) a symmetrical, bell-shaped hump that describes the distribution of many types of data; most scores fall near the mean and fewer and fewer near the extremes7) the arithmetic average of a distribution, obtained by adding the scores and then dividing by the number of scores8) fairly represents a population because each member has an equal chance of inclusion10) repeating the essence of a research study, usually with different participants in different situations, to see whether the basic finding extends to other participants and circumstances12) the middle scores in a distribution; half the scores are above it and half are below it13) does not blindly accept arguments and conclusions, rather, it examines assumptions, discerns hidden values, evaluates evidence, and assesses conclusions15) an explanation using an integrated set of principles that organizes observations and predicts behaviors or events17) a factor other than the independent variable that might produce an effect in an experiment19) a testable prediction, often implied by a theory20) a graphed cluster of dots, each of which represents the values of two variables; the slope of the points suggests the direction of the relationship between the two variables; the amount of the scatter suggests the strength of the correlation21) an ethical principle that research participants be told enough to enable them to choose whether they wish to participate 23) the perception of a relationship where none exists26) watching and recording behavior in normally occurring situations without trying to manipulate and control the situation27) the most frequently occurring score(s) in a distribution28) the outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable29) a statement of the procedures used to define research variables30) the difference between the highest and lowest scores in a distribution31) the experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied32) the enduring behaviors, ideas, attitudes, and traditions shared by a group of people and transmitted from one generation to the next33) all the cases in a group being studied, from which samples may be drawn34) a statistical index of the relationship between two things (from -1 to +1)
