7484189019Hindsight BiasFinding that something has happened made it seem inevitable afterward. In hindsight i shouldn't have dropped that class.0
7484192125HypothesisA good theory that produces testable resulte. I hypothesize that bananas are bigger than apples.1
7484199845TheoryExplains through an integrated set of principles that organizes observations and predicts behaviors or events. My theory is that at the heart of depression lies low self-esteem2
7484206418SurveyA method of studying behavior that looks at cases in less depth. It ask people to report their behaviors or opinions. I took a survey to see how many people like pizza.3
7484210851Random SampleA sample in which every person in the entire group has an equal chance of participating. I took a random sample of high school kids.4
7484215397Natural ObservationRecords behavior in natural environments. The phycologist used Natural observation to observe the chimpanzees.5
7484218293CorrelationWhen one trait or behavior is related to another. Ag correlates with hair loss6
7484222044Illusory correlationA perceived nonexistent correlation. The correlation between infertile couples who adopt, and their being better able to conceive is illusory7
7484226151Random assignmentA technique used for assigning participant in a experiment to different groups. I randomly assigned infants to different feeding groups.8
7484231844Double BlindWhen neither the participants nor the research assistants collecting the data will know which group is receiving what treatment. The experiment was double blind and even i didn't know who was receiving what.9
7484237634PlaceboWhen you think a peel is responsible for healing you but its really just fake made up of sugar. The diet peel was a placebo10
7484240673Independent variableA factor that can vary independently of other factor. Time is always an independent variable.11
7484242865Dependent VariableVaries depending on what takes place during a experiment. How done the cookies get depends on how long they are in the stove,12
7484246912Standard DeviationA standard for measuring how much scores deviate from one another. The correlation between the two experiments is 1.13
7484252261ModeThe most frequent occurring score. The mode of the set is four.14
7484255116MeanThe sum total of scores divided by the number of score. The mean of the sum of one hundred made up by four numbers is twenty five.15
7484262090The MedianThe midpoint of the data when you arrange scores from highs to lowest. Half will be above the median and half will be below. The median of the numbers 1-5 is 3.16
7484270726RangeThe gap between the lowest and highest scores. The range is from 1-5.17
7484273803Normal CurveWhen most cases fall near the mean, and fewer case fall near either extreme. A bell shaped distribution that is so common its called the normal curve. The experiment on heigh resulted in a bell curve.18
7484281780PopulationThe whole group you want to study and describe. The population of America is mostly caucasian.19
7484284889PsychologyThe science of behavior and the mind Phycologist must study psychology in order to understand the human brain.20
7484293814PsychiatryA medical field that is specifically devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, study, and treatment of mental disorders. I used psychiatry to diagnose his disorder.21
7484300342Basic ResearchOne of the two main types of research, pure research that aims to confirm an existing theory or to learn more about a concept or phenomenon. I used basic research to confirm my theory.22
7484302299Applied ResearchOne of the two main types of research, conducted specifically to solve practical problems .It accesses and uses some part of the research communities' (the academia's) accumulated theories, knowledge, methods, and techniques. I used applied reattach to diagnose a case with a special client who i had no idea how to treat.23
7484325257Natural SelectionNatural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in heritable traits of a population over time. Natural selection might lead to humans having bigger head in the future to protect are brains.24
