Izzy's AP Psych Ch 01

	the tendency to believe, after learning an outcome, that one would have foreseen it (also known as the I-knew-it-all-along phenomenon)
	thinking that does not blindly accept arguments and conclusions - rather, it examines assumptions, discerns hidden values, evaluates evidence, and assesses conclusions
	an explanation using an integrated set of principles that organizes and predicts observations
	a testable prediction, often implied by a theory
	a statement of the procedures (operations) used to define research variables
	repeating the essence of a research study, usually with different participants in different situations, to see whether the basic finding extends to other participants and circumstances
	an observation technique in which one person is studied in depth in the hope of revealing universal principles
	a technique for ascertaining the self-reported attitudes or behaviors of people, usually by questioning a representative, random sample of them
	the tendency to overestimate the extent to which others share our beliefs and behaviors
	all the cases in a group, from which samples may be drawn for a study
	a sample that fairly represents a population because each member has an equal chance of inclusion
	observing and recording behavior in naturally occurring situations without trying to manipulate and control the situation
	a statistical measure of the extent to which two factors vary together, and thus of how well either factor predicts the other
	a graphed cluster of dots, each of which represents the values of two variables
	the perception of a relationship where none exists
	a research method in which an investigator manipulates one or more factors to observe the effect on some behavior or mental process
	an experimental procedure in which both the research participants and the research staff are ignorant about whether the research participants have received the treatment or the placebo
	experimental results caused by expectations alone
	the condition of an experiment that exposes participants to the treatment, that is, to one version of the independent variable
	the condition of an experiment that contrasts with the experimental condition and serves as a comparison for evaluating the effect of the treatment
	assigning participants to experimental and control conditions by chance, thus minimizing preexisting differences between those assigned to different groups
	the experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied
	the experimental factor that is being measured; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable
	the most frequently occurring score in a distribution
	the arithmetic average of a distribution
	the middle score in a distribution
	the difference between the highest and lowest scores in a distribution
	a computed measure of how much scores vary around the mean score
	a statistical statement of how likely it is that an obtained result occurred by chance
	the enduring behaviors, ideas, attitudes, and traditions shared by a large group of people and transmitted from one generation to the next
