Control for
holding a potential third variable steady while investigating the association between two other variables

3
Criterion variable
the variable in a multiple regression that the researchers are most interested in understanding or predicting (may also be called the dependent variable)

4
Cross-lag correlations
in a longitudinal design, a correlation between an earlier measure of one variable and a later measure of another variable

New cards
6
Longitudinal design
a study in which the same variables are measured in the same people at different points in time

7
Mediating variable
a variable that helps explain the relationship between two other variables
