________ is not causation.
Ethnography
________: participant observation of a culture or distinct social group.
Strength
________: the closer the number is to +1 or- 1, the more strongly related the variables.
Experimental design
________: investigates cause and effect relationships.
Longitudinal design
________: gathers data from one group of individuals at several points of time.
Correlation coefficient
________: a number from- 1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between variables.
Case study
________: brings together wide range of information on single individual or group, including interviews, observations, or test scores.
Direction
________: the sign +-/of the correlation coefficient indicates the ________ of the relationship.
Dependent variable
________: the variable being measured.
Positive correlation
________: the variables move in the same direction.
Negative correlation
________: the variables move in opposite directions.

Ethnography
participant observation of a culture or distinct social group
Correlational research
researchers gather information and look at the relationship between 2 more naturally occurring characteristics, behaviors, or ideas (ie variables)
Correlation coefficient
a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between variables
Strength
the closer the number is to +1 or -1, the more strongly related the variables
Positive correlation
the variables move in the same direction
Negative correlation
the variables move in opposite directions
Experimental design
investigates cause and effect relationships
Independent variable
the variable the investigator expects to cause changes in another variable
Dependent variable
the variable being measured
Longitudinal design
gathers data from one group of individuals at several points of time
