COUC 515: Final Exam Question 1 2 out of 2 points A _________________ is a graph which represents a correlation coefficient • Question 2 2 out of 2 points Formative evaluation relates to the processes involved in delivering a program • Question 3 2 out of 2 points According to Jackson, the most common error in interpreting correlations is: • Question 4 2 out of 2 points A third-variable problem is a part of correlational research and comes about when a correlation between two variables is dependent on another (third) variable. • Question 5 2 out of 2 points Cost-effective evaluation and cost-benefit analysis are both examples of • Question 6 2 out of 2 points Making observations of the behavior of human beings or animals is known as: • Question 7 2 out of 2 points The Nuremberg code came about because of Stanley Milgram’s study. • Question 8 2 out of 2 points Research is the same as general inquiry. • Question 9 2 out of 2 points All of the following are probability samples except _______ • Question 10 2 out of 2 points The correlation coefficient, which measures reliability, is considered a “strong” relationship between the values of ______ and ______ • Question 11 2 out of 2 points Empirically Supported Treatements (EST’s) are considered the “gold standard” because _______ • Question 12 2 out of 2 points A reliability coefficient determined by assessing the degree of relationship between scores on the same test administered on two different occasions is called _______. • Question 13 2 out of 2 points In the class video on John Gottman’s Love Lab, the device that measures fidgeting was called: • Question 14 2 out of 2 points According to informed consent, confidentiality will always be kept. • Question 15 2 out of 2 points Based on Jackson, figure 5.7 above of a standard normal distribution, what percentage of the population falls within one standard deviation of the mean? • Question 16 2 out of 2 points Higher order thinking (HOT) skills in order include _________ • Question 17 2 out of 2 points Factors that usually lead to students becoming scientist practitioners include __________ • Question 18 2 out of 2 points Correlational studies identify the degree to which one variable causes a change in another. • Question 19 0 out of 2 points Based on Jackson, figure 5.7 above of a standard normal distribution, what percentage of the population would score above someone who scores two standard deviations above the mean? • Question 20 2 out of 2 points μ (pronounced “mu”) represents the symbol for the population mean. • Question 21 2 out of 2 points Threats to statistical power include ____________. • Question 22 2 out of 2 points Which of the following is true about a type two error? • Question 23 2 out of 2 points _________________ is defined as a test that is less likely to commit a Type II error. • Question 24 2 out of 2 points It is typically suggested that researchers avoid terms like “prove.” What is true with respect to this statement? • Question 25 2 out of 2 points The chi-square (χ2) goodness-of-fit test is a nonparametric statistical test used for comparing categorical information against what we would expect based on previous knowledge. • Question 26 2 out of 2 points A researcher is developing a study to examine the emotional intelligence between counseling majors and all other students. The researcher hypothesizes that the mean emotional intelligence of counseling majors will be greater than the mean emotional intelligence of all other students. This is an example of a_________________. • Question 27 2 out of 2 points A Type II error is represented by “missing the findings” or failing to reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is actually false. • Question 28 2 out of 2 points Synonyms for the null hypothesis include: • Question 29 0 out of 2 points The Researcher’s hypothesis stating that counseling majors have a higher mean emotional intelligence (EI) than others majors in general, described above in the format of a formula would be _______________. • Question 30 2 out of 2 points The z test is a parametric statistical test that allows us to test the null hypothesis for a single sample when the population variance is known. • Question 31 2 out of 2 points The difference between population means in terms of standard deviations is called the effect size. • Question 32 2 out of 2 points A ballroom dancing metaphor can be used to describe the nature of reporting results in terms of the null hypothesis because: • Question 33 2 out of 2 points The alternative hypothesis (researcher’s hypothesis) represents what the researcher is trying to support. • Question 34 2 out of 2 points Rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true is a type one error and not a type two. • Question 35 2 out of 2 points The central limit theorem involves _________. • Question 36 2 out of 2 points There is a chance that a researcher can create two equal groups. • Question 37 2 out of 2 points An ANOVA is: • Question 38 2 out of 2 points According to the Jackson text, what are the differences between the quasi experimental methods and the correlational methods? • Question 39 0 out of 2 points A two-group experimental design which has random selection, random assignment, or a mixture of both and the dependent variable is measured in each group, after the independent variable was manipulated. Then the DV measures for each group are compared. This group comparison research design is called a ______________________. • Question 40 2 out of 2 points A characteristic that distinguishes experimental design from other research designs is ______: • Question 41 2 out of 2 points A research design often used in the behavioral sciences, especially counseling is known as the: • Question 42 2 out of 2 points A design in which participants are measured on a trait they already possess and assigned to categories based on that trait, rather than manipulating the independent variable is the ______________. • Question 43 2 out of 2 points According to Jackson, one of the benefits of using more than one group, is that the use of multiple groups allows for the addition of a placebo group. • Question 44 2 out of 2 points In a single case design research study: • Question 45 2 out of 2 points In the true-experimental design, the independent variable is not actively being changed. • Question 46 2 out of 2 points Confounding variables are: • Question 47 2 out of 2 points A test that is designed to determine how well an observed frequency distribution of two nominal variables fits an expected pattern of frequencies is called the _____________. • Question 48 2 out of 2 points When creating groups, a researcher can feel more confident about how equivalent they are based on ___________________. • Question 49 2 out of 2 points All of the following are not quasi experimental research designs, except for: • Question 50 0 out of 2 points An experimental design which has random selection, random assignment, or a mixture of both and the dependent variable is measured before and after the independent variable was manipulated, and then the pre-rest and post test scores are compared, is called a ______________________.
