Confounding/third variable | any variable that is extraneous to the two variables being studied. |
Construct validity | the adequacy of the operational definitions of variables |
Correlation coefficient | indicates +- directional strength of relationship (A numerical index of the strength of relationship between variables) |
Positive linear relationship | increase in one; increase in other variable |
Negative linear relationship | increase in one; decrease in other variable |
Curvilinear (non-monotonic) relationship | increase in one; increase&decrease in other variable |
Dependent Variable | variable that is the effect |
Independent variable | variable that is considered to be the cause |
Experimental method | direct manipulation and control of variables |
Nonexperimental method | (observation-no manipulation) relationships are studied by making observations or measures of the variables of interest. |
Experimental Control | all extraneous variables are kept constant. (this addresses confounds in experimental research) |
Internal Validity | our ability to accurately draw conclusions about causal relationship |
External validity | extent results can be generalize to other populations and setting |
Statistical validity | accuracy of statistical conclusions drawn from research |
Operational definition | set of procedures used to manipulate or measure the variable |
Participant variable | subject variables and attributes (age, gender, ethnic group) These variables are by definition nonexperimental and must be measured |
Randomization | ensures that the extraneous variable is just as likely to affect one experimental group as it is to affect the other group (this addresses confounds in experimental research) |
