The Case Study: an in-depth study of one person
Dependent Variable: the variable that is being measured in an experiment
Median: a value or quantity lying at the midpoint of a frequency distribution of observed values or quantities
Confounding Variables: an extraneous variable in a statistical model that correlates (positively or negatively) with both the dependent and independent variables
Mode: the most frequently occurring score in a distribution
Experimental Group: A group of subjects that are exposed to the variable of a control experiment
Range: the difference between the highest and lowest observations
The Survey: a data collection tool used to gather information about individuals
Control Group: composed of participants who do not receive the experimental treatment
Standard Deviation: a rough measure of the average amount by which observations deviate on either side of the mean
Naturalistic Observation: observing subjects in their natural environment
Correlation Coefficient: a number between +1 and -1 that describes the type of relationship an independent variable has with a dependent variable.
Inferential Statistics: making predictions or inferences about a population from observations and analyses of a sample
Experimentation: manipulating one variable to determine if changes in one variable cause changes in another variable
Descriptive Statistics: statistics that are used to describe
Independent Variable: the characteristic of a psychology experiment that is manipulated or changed
Mean: the mathematical average of a set of numbers
