[q] Intelligence and love are examples of ___________.[textentry] [c] constructs [a] You know it. [c]* [a] No, love and intelligence are examples of constructs. [q] The quality of a study's operational definitions is often highly related to the study's _______ validity. [textentry] [c]construct [a] Yes! [c]* [a] If the operational definitions do not accurately tap the constructs, we would have poor construct validity. [q] the degree to which a study is actually dealing with the variables it claims to be[textentry] [c]construct validity [a] Correct. [c]* [a] No, the answer is construct validity. [q] the degree to which a study conclusively demonstrates that something caused a change [textentry] [c]internal validity [a] You got it. [c]* [a] No, internal validity refers to the study's ability to draw cause-effect conclusions. [q] If you are questioning the cause-effect conclusions from a study, you are questioning its ______ validity. [textentry] [c]internal [a] Right [c]* [a] No, internal validity refers to the study's ability to draw cause-effect conclusions. [q] If you are questioning whether the results of a study would generalize to the real world or to a different participant population, you are questioning its ______ validity. [textentry] [c]external [a] True. [c]* [a] No, external validity refers to the study's ability to generalize to different places, populations, or time periods. [q] If a study is not an experiment, you should questioning its ______ validity. [textentry] [c] internal [a] You are correct. [c]* [a] You should question its internal validity because only experiments have internal validity. [q] If a study included only male participants, you should questioning its ______ validity. [textentry] [c] external [a] Yes. [c]* [a] You should question its external validity because the results might only apply to males. [q] If a survey did not randomly sample from a population, you should questioning its ______ validity. [textentry] [c] external [a] You got it. [c]* [a] You should question its external validity because the results might not generalize to that population. [q] the only kind of study that has internal validity [textentry] [c]experiment; randomized experiment [a] You got it. [c]* [a] No, only randomized experiments have internal validity. [q] the degree to which the study's results can be generalized.[textentry] [c] external validity [a] Yes, it is external validity [c]* [a] No, the answer is external validity [q] random assignment helps a study's ________ validity.[textentry] [c] internal [a] Right! [c]* [a] No, random assignment helps a study's internal validity. [q] random sampling helps a study's ________ validity.[textentry] [c] external [a] Yes! [c]* [a] No, random sampling helps a study's external validity. [q]experiment's key ingredient [textentry] [c]random assignment [a] Correct! [c]* [a] No, random assignment is an experiment's key ingredient--and ingredient that helps it have internal validity. [q]The main reason experiments have internal validity is that they use [textentry] [c]random assignment [a] Correct! [c]* [a] No, random assignment is an experiment's key ingredient--and ingredient that helps it have internal validity. [q] ethical human research usually needs IRB approval, informed consent, and this.[textentry] [c] debriefing; debrief [a] True [c]* [a] You did not mention debriefing. [q] ethical human research usually requires IRB approval, ______ ________, and debriefing.[textentry] [c] informed consent [a] Right! [c]* [a] You did not mention informed consent. [q] ethical human research usually needs ___ approval,informed consent, and debriefing.[textentry] [c] IRB; Internal Review Board [a] Yes! [c]* [a] Don't forget: Human research requires approval from your institution's Internal Review Board. [q] giving potential participants information about the study, especially in terms of factors that might lead them to refuse to be in the study, before they decide whether to participate. [textentry] [c]informed consent [a] Yes! [c]* [a] Human research requires informed consent--not only do participants need to volunteer; they need to know what they are volunteering for. [q] After the participant is done with the study, explaining the purpose of the study to the participant, answering any participant questions, and undoing any harm that the participant may have experienced as a result of being in the study [textentry] [c] debrief; debriefing [a] Yes! [c]* [a]You need to debrief participants: After being in your study, they should be more informed --and at least as content--as they were before being in your study. [q] The ______committee is a committee of at least five members--one of whom must be a community member-- that review and monitor research in an effort to protect human participants. [textentry] [c] Internal Review Board; IRB [a] You know it. [c]* [a]The IRB committee is the committee that must approve your research project before you can begin doing research. [/qdeck]
