Question 1

What is replication of a study?

Answer 1

Repetition of a study, using different participants.

Replication of a study refers to the process of repeating a study using different participants. This involves conducting the same research design, methods, and procedures with a new set of participants to determine if the original findings can be reproduced and generalized to a larger population. Replication is an important aspect of scientific research as it helps to establish the reliability and validity of the original study’s results. By replicating a study with different participants, researchers can assess the consistency and robustness of the findings, increasing the confidence in the overall conclusions.

Question 2

Involves collecting data from different groups at a single point in time, allowing the researchers to compare different age groups.

Answer 2

Cross-sectional research Design

Question 3

Involves collecting data from the same group of individuals over extended period of time, allowing researchers to track changes within individuals over time

Answer 3

Longitudinal Design

Question 4

Combines element of both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs by collecting data from different age groups over an extended period of time, allowing researchers to compare both between and within age groups.

Answer 4

Sequential Design

Question 5

A correlation is considered to be positive if:

Answer 5

Both variables increase or decrease together

*This means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases, and as one variable decreases, the other variable also decreases. In other words, there is a direct relationship between the two variables, where they move in the same direction.

Question 6

In an experiment the group of participants who do not receive the independent variable is called the.

Answer 6

Control group

*an experiment, the control group refers to the group of participants who do not receive the independent variable. This group is used as a baseline for comparison, allowing researchers to determine the effects of the independent variable by comparing it to the control group. By keeping all other variables constant and only manipulating the independent variable in the experimental group, researchers can isolate the effects of the independent variable and determine its impact on the dependent variable.

Question 7

Correlational studies have linked parenting styles to specific outcomes in children. For example, children with authoritative parents tend to have higher levels of social competence. What is the primary reason we must be cautious before suggesting that a causal relationship exists?

Answer 7

For example, people with conversion disorders often use denial and repression—that is, they put things out of awareness as a defense mechanism. Therefore, they should show lapses in their long-term store of knowledge, which might produce a relatively low score on the information subtest.
