Yes No Question 2 2 / 2 pts Two measured variables are to the _____ as one nonmanipulated independent variable and one measured variable are to the _____. quasi-experimental method; correlational method correlational method; quasi-experimental method quasi-experimental method; experimental method experimental method; quasi-experimental method Question 3 2 / 2 pts A design in which a single group of participants is measured repeatedly before and after a treatment is a(n) _____ design. experimental correlational single-group time-series posttest-only Question 4 2 / 2 pts In _____ designs, many measures are taken so that the effect of the treatment can be seen over time. pretest-posttest single-group nonequivalent control group time-series Question 5 2 / 2 pts The ABAB design is generally considered more _____ than the ABA design because participants are left with the effect of the treatment. reliable valid ethical effective Question 6 2 / 2 pts A design in which a single group of subjects is tested both before and after treatment is a(n) _____ design. correlational single-group posttest-only single-group pretest/posttest posttest-only Question 7 2 / 2 pts With small-n designs it is easy to generalize results to a population. complex statistical analyses are not required. random assignment is essential. all of these options are true Question 8 2 / 2 pts A design in which measures are taken at baseline and after the introduction of the independent variable at different times across across multiple subjects is a _____ design. multiple-baseline across subjects multiple-baseline across time reversal pretest/posttest Question 9 2 / 2 pts A design in which a single group of subjects is given a treatment and then tested is a(n) _____ design. correlational single-group posttest-only single-group pretest/posttest experimental Question 10 2 / 2 pts A single-case design in which the independent variable is introduced and removed one or more times is a _____ design. small-n nonequivalent control group reversal pretest/posttest Question 11 2 / 2 pts A design in which at least two nonequivalent groups are measured both before and after treatment is a(n) _____ design. experimental correlational nonequivalent control group posttest-only nonequivalent control group pretest/posttest Question 12 2 / 2 pts Statistically, we do not differentiate between experimental and ____________ designs. quasi-experimental correlational predictive descriptive Question 13 2 / 2 pts In two-group quasi-experimental designs, the two groups are considered: equivalent nonequivalent standardized equitable Question 14 2 / 2 pts In developmental research, a cohort is: multiple generations of a single family a group of individuals born at around the same time the sample randomly selected from the entire range of ages targeted the sample left after attrition Question 15 2 / 2 pts What type of quasi-experimental design best fits the following scenario: A school counselor wanted to see if interest in seeking a college degree changes across one's high school career. She measures interest in a group of students across all four years to see if there is a measurable change. cross-sectional longitudinal sequential none of these options Question 16 2 / 2 pts A researcher wanted to systematically investigate the effectiveness of restraint on reducing challenging behaviors in a student with intellectual disabilities. She used a standardized scale to quantify challenging behaviors at three time points — she recorded number of challenging behaviors before beginning a restraint protocol, used the restraint protocol and measured the behaviors a second time, then stopped using the restraint protocol and measured challenging behaviors one last time. Which type of design best describes this scenario? ABA Reversal Design ABAB Reversal Design Multiple-Baselines design — across subjects Multiple-Baselines design — across behaviors Question 17 2 / 2 pts A researcher wanted to systematically investigate the effectiveness of restraint on reducing challenging behaviors in students with intellectual disabilities. She used a standardized scale to quantify challenging behavior. She quantified challenging behaviors in five students who met the criteria and continued to quantify the number of challenging behaviors in all students every week throughout the duration of the study. She introduced the restraint protocol to one student each week, so that by week 5 the restraint protocol was being implemented for all five students. Which type of design best describes this scenario? ABA Reversal Design ABAB Reversal Design Multiple-Baselines design — across subjects Multiple-Baselines design — across behaviors Question 18 2 / 2 pts What type of quasi-experimental design best fits the following scenario: A school counselor decided to assess effectiveness of a SAT prep course on high school student SAT scores. She compares the SAT scores of students before and after they took a SAT prep course. single group posttest-only non-equivalent control group posttest-only single-group pretest / posttest non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest Question 19 2 / 2 pts How does qualitative research method differ from quantitative methods? qualitative research typically offers more breadth qualitative research typically offers more in-depth understanding qualitative research typically is more generalizable all of these statements are true Question 20 2 / 2 pts Which of the following disadvantages are more associated with longitudinal designs compared to cross-sectional designs? more expensive takes longer test confounds all of these are more common with longitudinal designs Question 21 2 / 2 pts Which of the following is an advantage most likely to be associated with a cross-sectional design compared to a longitudinal design? more generalizable resistant to the [Show Less]
