Q

How do you find sampling interval?

A

Divide your sample size into the number of persons by the number of persons in your sampling frame
- If you had 100 persons in your sampling frame and wanted to sample 20 persons
100
—– = 5

29
Q

This is where you simply use subjects that are easy or convienent for you to use

A

Convenience Sampling

30
Q

This is where the researcher selects individuals based on the researchers knowledge or professional judgement

A

Judgmental Sampling

31
Q

This is a method typically used with unknown or rare populations that are difficult to locate, situations where it would be impossible to construct a sampling frame.

A

Snowball Sampling

32
Q

The way this technique works is that you find one or more subjects that you want to study and ask them to refer you to others.

A

Snowball Sampling

33
Q

Is an association between two variables. they occur together

A

Correlation

34
Q

A and B tend to be observed at the same time

A

Correlation

35
Q

You need to have an association in order to argue for this

A

Causality

36
Q

A causes B

A

Causation

37
Q

What are the 3 criteria to say that two variables have a casual relationship

A
  1. The two variables must be correlated.
  2. Time ordering
  3. Non - Spuriousness
38
Q

A situation where it looks like two variables are related to one another, but in fact they are not

A

Spuriousness

39
Q

gives us a way of summarizing the differences so that we can compare the strengths of different tables or variables

A

Strength Measure

40
Q

measure the strength of the association between two nominal and ordinal variables

A

Crosstabulation Table

41
Q

Something that is required or must be present in order for the effect to occur. A must occur if B is to occur.

A

Necessary Cause

42
Q

Guarantees the effect will occur

A

Sufficient Cause

43
Q

This type of cause increases the chances that something will happen

A

Contributory cause

44
Q

If x does not happen, y will not happen

A

Necessay Cause

45
Q

If x happens, Y will happen

A

Sufficient cause

46
Q

If x happens, Y may happen or is more or less likely to happen

A

Contributory Cause

47
Q

An experiment where you have a group that receives treatment and one that does not and see what happens

A

Classical Experiment

48
Q

The independent variable in a classical experiment

A

The treatment

49
Q

The group that receives treatment is the

A

experimental group

50
Q

The group that does not receive treatment

A

control group

51
Q

This is where we collect baseline data

A

pretest

52
Q

this is where we measure the dependent variable after treatment

A

posttest

53
Q

In order for the design to work it is crucially important that your experimental and control groups are equivalent at the beginning of the experiment. How do you ensure this?

A

Random Assignment

54
Q

threats or challenges to our findings and to our potential conclusions that a causal relationship may or may not exist

A

Internal Validity

55
Q

These are events that happen during the course of the experiment. These are things that occur outside of the experiment

A

History

56
Q

These are changes that take place in the subjects during the course of the experiment. This includes biological, psychological, and physiological changes.

A

Maturation

57
Q

Refers to the tendency of subjects to move toward the average over time

A

statistical regression

58
Q

This is really just attrition or persons dropping out of the experiment

A

Experimental mortality

59
Q

refers to the measures of your variables; can refer to when your measures lack reliability or validity

A

instrumentation

60
Q

This is where the subjects learn through their exposure to the pretest learn how to do better on the post test

A

Testing Effects

61
Q

This is where the treatment spills over from the experimental group to the control group could be communication

A

Design Contamination

62
Q

assessment of wether our results are applicable to other groups

A

External Validity

63
Q

situation where the subjects may be exposed to more than one treatment or independent variable

A

Multiple treatment influence

64
Q

refers to subjects reacting to the fact that they are in an experiment or research project

A

reactive effects

65
Q

this is where you try your best to get a similar control group but they are not randomly assigned

A

non-equivalent control group design

66
Q

this is where we observe our dependent variable over time both before the independent variable is introduced

A

interrupted time series design

67
Q

surveys that survey respondents at one point in time

A

Cross - Sectional

68
Q

surveys conducted over time

A

longitudinal

69
Q

these collect information on a variable over time

A

trend study

70
Q

this study follows a group that shares the same characteristic over time

A

cohort study

71
Q

study that follow the same individuals over time and collect data at intervals

A

panel study
