Dr. Searcy says H0 means…

Hzero-no effect

Describe a positive correlation

Scores of two variables move in the same direction

Describe a negative correlation

scores of two variables move in opposite directions

What was that kind of research reasoning where the researcher begins with an event and then forms a theory?

inductive reasoning

Define factor analysis

Researcher conducts multiple correlations

What is an effect size?

Difference in average score between experimental and control groups

Define between groups design

Experiment with 2 groups

Diagram random assignment

population(random sampling) -sample-Random assignment(group 1, group 2)

Diagram matching assignment

population(random sampling)-sample-matching (group 1, group 2)

Define within groups design

Experiment with 1 group

Longitudinal…

1 group, multiple visits
