- Ordinal
- Rank Order
- Race Placing
- Rank Order
- Interval
- Scale in which differences between measurements indicate equal differences
- Temperature in C/F
- Scale in which differences between measurements indicate equal differences
- Ratio
- Distance between points on a scale is known and is equal
- Temperature in Calvins
- Distance between points on a scale is known and is equal
- Nominal
- Correlation Methods
- Validity
- Internal
- The ability of your method to adequately test the hypothesis it was designed to test
- External
- the extent to which the results of a study can be generalised beyond limits of the same study sample to different populations, settings and conditions
- Internal

- Ask answerable questions
- Asking empirical questions (involves working with people)

- One Tailed
- can go one way
- 12 weeks of anger management CBT will significantly reduce arrests for criminal behaviour.
- can go one way
- Two tailed
- can go either way, easier to support hypothesis
- 12 weeks of anger management CBT will significantly alter arrests for criminal behaviour
- can go either way, easier to support hypothesis
- One Tailed
- Variables
- Independent

- Dependent
