Exam 10: Within-Subjects Design: Can Watching Reality Tv Shows Be Good for Us

_____ is a threat to internal validity in a within-subjects design resulting from the influence that the sequence of experiment conditions can have on the dependent variable.

In a 2010 study examining mediated voyeurism and the guilty pleasure of consuming reality television, researchers found that:

Dr. Okete wants to collect baseline data from her sociology students regarding knowledge of local cultures and then assess the students at multiple points throughout the academic year after each academic module has been completed. Dr. Okete is conducting a:

Professor Marks is most interested in whether his students' knowledge increased during the progression of his math course. Students took a quiz at the beginning of the semester and again at the end of the semester. Professor Marks used a:

In addition to being considered a within-subjects design, the longitudinal approach is also considered a:

Which would be the most likely threat to internal validity for children's depression scores on June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day?

Dr. Tran has 15 participants start with condition B, 15 participants start with condition A, and 15 participants start with condition C. All participants are eventually exposed to all conditions. This is an example of:

All of the following can be associated with sensitization effects, EXCEPT:

(Scenario III) Scenario III states that only 24 of the initial 30 men completed the study. This is an example of _____ and is a potential threat to the study's _____ validity.

Which of the following best addresses the nature of the threat to internal validity that is caused by attrition?

What can be gained from examining pretest and posttest data?

Dr. Nova had all participants transition among experimental conditions in the same order. All participants were exposed to the shock condition, followed by the video condition, followed by the ice-cold bath condition. Dr. Nova is concerned that the responses may have more to do with the sequence of conditions rather than the participants' actual responses. This is an example of:

Why is a pretest-posttest design considered a within-subjects design?

A _____ focuses on a within-subjects design in which participants are measured before and after exposure to a treatment or intervention.

(Scenario III) Which statistic should the researchers use to analyze the data from Scenario III?

(Scenario II) Which order effect is illustrated in the study described in Scenario II?

Forty 9-year-olds were read the same book by their parents every night for one month. The 9-year-olds were tested about the book after the first reading, and then every week thereafter. They were asked to name characters and describe different parts of the books, as well as read passages of the book for themselves. The researchers saw drastic improvement in their skills with this particular book so they performed the same experiment again, but this time they changed the book after a week and asked the same questions. They did not see the same type of improvement as in the initial study. What was most likely occurring during the initial study?

Which of the following is an advantage of within-subjects designs?

(Scenario I) Why do you think the researchers in Scenario I did not rely only on participants' behavioral diaries to assess mood and cognition?

Dr. Semaj had participants complete a demographic form first, then a mood form, then a behavioral activity form, and then a relationship satisfaction form, followed by an interview. Dr. Semaj noticed that participants did not complete all of the later measures. This could be the result of:
