Clues

  • A measure of consistency over several occasions. (8, 11)
  • A sample obtained by selecting every nth person. (10, 8)
  • A sample of participants produced by identifying subgroups according to their frequency in the target population. Participants are then selected randomly from the subgroups. (10, 8)
  • A sample of participants that relies solely on volunteers to make up the sample. (4, 8, 8)
  • A variable that, if not controlled, may affect the results of an experiment e.g. investigator effects. (10, 8)
  • How a concept/variable is measured/defined - testable form. (18)
  • How the behaviour and language of the experimenter may influence the behaviour of participants - also known as experimenter bias. (12, 7)
  • Involves comparing a new method or test with an already well established one that claims to measure the same variables. A high positive correlation should be gained between the results of the two tests. (10, 8)
  • Refers to whether the test will predict future performance indicated by its results. (10, 8)
  • The extent to which something is consistent within itself. (8, 11)
