True

What separates experimental research with other research design is the presence of systematic manipulation on the environment which becomes the causal factor of the behavioral outcome

[True or False]

Dependent Variable

It is the response measure of an experiment that is dependent on the subject

Independent Variable

It refers to the manipulation of the environment controlled by the experimenter

True

The first level of an experiment is classified by the following:
Presence of Manipulation → Outcome

[True or False]

False

The first level of an experiment is classified by the following:
Absence of Manipulation → Outcome

[True or False]

True

The second level of an experiment is classified by the following:
Absence of Manipulation → Outcome

[True or False]

False

The second level of an experiment is classified by the following:
Presence of Manipulation → Outcome

[True or False]

Better Control of Extraneous Variables

It is an advantage of conducting an experiment, which strictly does not permit the influence of other variables in the outcome

Experiments Lead to Statements About Causation

It is an advantage of conducting an experiment that allows the experimenters to deduce that “Independent Variable A causes Variable B to change”

Problems

________ are classified as

• Abstract and Theoretical

• Concrete and Applied

• From Observation

• Vague Statement/Questions

Hypothesis

________ are classified as

• Directly Testable

• Specific and Precise

• For Experimental Testing

  • If A, then B pattern

  • Contains IV, DV, and Control Variables

Random Selection

It is a method of obtaining data where a population has an equal change of being selected as a participant

Random Assignment

It is a method of obtaining data where each participant in the experiment is randomly assigned to experimental treatments (Holland, 1993)

Statistical Analysis

It is a method of analyzing the data, which is a theoretically neutral procedure that serves theory and hypothesis testing

Data Analysis

It is a method of analyzing the data, which utilizes descriptive statistics for condensing data, and calculates the mean for both each and combination of the independent variable, to show interactions

False

The tables and figures shall follow the 6th edition of APA citation

[True or False]
