Self Assessment
True-False

1 .       It is better to control confounding variables statistically than by the research design. [Hint]

 
 


2 .       In true experimental research, the researcher manipulates the dependent variable to examine its effects on one or more independent variables. [Hint]

 
 


3 .       In a causal-comparative design, no direct manipulation of the independent variable occurs. [Hint]

 
 


4 .       To be considered a variable, a quality or characteristic must have at least three discernible levels. [Hint]

 
 


5 .       A repeated-measures design entails making repeated measurements on a treatment and a control group. [Hint]

 
 


6 .       Two variables can have an interaction effect on the dependent variable even if both do not have individual effects on the dependent variable. [Hint]

 
 


7 .       A causal-comparative design can be used when one wants to establish the causality of an independent variable upon a dependent variable. [Hint]
