Exam 2: Research Methods: Tools for Discovery

An effect size cannot represent the magnitude of the difference between treatment and control groups

List several biological markers for studying social development

An element that distinguishes participant observation from other ethnographic approaches is:

Reactivity:

All research with human subjects requires that researchers obtain informed consent from participants before they are enrolled in the study

Physiological correlates of psychological processes measured by brain activity, HYPERLINK "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_rate" \o "Heart rate" heart rate, and so on are best described as

An intervention:

To secure a child's participation in a study, it may be necessary to obtain informed consent from:

Research involving statistical analysis of numerical data is:

A secure attachment to the mother regulates the neurobiology of stress in infants and young children

Natural experiments:

The process of defining a concept so that it is observable and measurable is:

When researchers go into settings in the real world or bring participants into the laboratory to observe behaviors of interest, it is called:

Research using nonstatistical analysis of materials gathered from a relatively small number of participants to gain an in-depth understanding of behavior and contexts:

Researchers record everything a person does within a given period of time in:

Psychophysiological research may focus on measuring:

Observer bias is most frequently a problem with:

Ethnographic work often involves the use of participant observations

Laboratory analogue experiments typically differ from regular experiments in that:

Whether or not a participant is assigned to the treatment or control condition is an example of an independent variable
