Clues

  • A replication study in which reserachers repeat the original study as closely as possible to see whether the original effect shows up in the newly collected data. Also called exact replication. (6, 11)
  • A researches definition of a variable at the theoretical level. (10, 10)
  • A subdiscipline of psychology concerned with how cultural settings shape a person's thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and how these in turn shape cultural settings. (8, 10)
  • A variable whose levels are categories (e.g. male/female). (11, 8)
  • An association that involves exactly two variables. (9, 11)
  • An empirical form of measurement validity that establishes the extent to which a measure is correlated with a behavior or concrete outcome it should be related to. (9, 8)
  • An empirical test of the extent to which a measure does not associate strongly with measures of other, theoretically different constructs. (12, 8)
  • An indication of how well a variable was measured or manipulated in a study. (9, 8)
  • Choosing a sample based on those who are easiest to access and readily available; a biased sampling technique. (11, 8)
  • The extent to which the tasks and manipulations of a study are similar to real-world contexts. Also called mundane realism. (10, 8)
