Empirically validated Treatment or Empirically Supported treatment ✔✔When counselors do
integrate research into practice.
Correlation ✔✔Correlation is simply an association. It is not the same as causality. The
correlation between people who have an umbrella open and rain is very high, but opening your
umbrella does not cause it to rain.
Three types of correlations ✔✔Go from negative 1 to 0 to positive 1. Zero means no correlation
while positive 1 and negative 1 are perfect correlations. A negative .5 is not higher than a

A positive correlation: when x goes up, y goes up. For example, when you study more, your

stillprefer random sampling and random assignment
What is quasi-experimental research? ✔✔When the groups are not picked at random or the
researcher cannot control the IV then it is a quasi rather than a true experiment. quasiexperimental research does not ensure causality.
What is the independent variable ✔✔The experimental group gets the IV and it is known as the
experimental variable.
what is the DV or dependent variable? ✔✔the outcome data in the study is called the DV. If we
want to see if eating carrots raises one's IQ then eating carrots is the IV while the IQ scores at the
