Consider the post test-only design with nonequivalent control groups. Can you think of an experimental situation in which this design might be necessary? How could you potentially strengthen the experimental design?

A researcher used a two-group quasi-experimental (nonequivalent control group) design to test the effect of a Tai Chi intervention on quality of life in nursing home residents. The elders’ age was statistically controlled. What procedure for statistical control might the researcher have used? A. Propensity score matching B. Analysis of covariance C. Manipulation checks D. Power analysis
Think of observation then form a question and hypothesis. Then, design an experiment you could do to test your hypothesis. Make sure the experimental design is detailed and define all of your variables (the dependent variable, the independent variable, the controlled variable, designing the procedure, level of treatment, replication, the control. ) On a separate sheet of paper, think of an observation you have made and then form a question and hypothesis. Then, design an experiment you could do to...
1. The pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design is also very commonly used in psychology. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using this design when random assignment is not possible: It reduces the threat of assignment bias It limits threats from time-related factors It provides some evidence of a potential cause-effect relationship It rules out differential history effects 2. Particularly when they do not include a control group, pre-post designs are most vulnerable to ____________-related threats to internal...
Which of the following are valid reasons for doing a factorial experimental design? (select the 3 correct answers) A. It's easier to establish control and eliminate confounds B. You can test multiple variables simultaneously C. The complexity of the situation would be more like what's found in the real world D. It allows you to see interactions between variables

1).Which type of research design (experimental or quasi-experimental) do you think is more likely to have higher validity? Why? 2).What type of methodology would you use to evaluate the effectiveness of a family preservation/child welfare intervention aimed at reducing the risk for future neglect or abuse in families referred for abuse or neglect?
How do you think you will use your knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology? What situation might be critical for you to know Anatomy and Physiology? When might it be less necessary?

6. Typically, when comparing a within-subjects design to a between-groups design which of the following describe their differences in error variance? a. Within-subjects designs results in less error variance than between-groups. b. A within-subjects design results in more error variance than a between-groups design. C. A within-subjects design results in the same amount of error variance as a between-groups design d. There is no error variance in a within-subjects design, whereas a between- groups design does present some error variance....
For this Discussion, think of a specific testing scenario. Then consider a reliable test item for that testing scenario and an unreliable item for that same testing scenario. Consider how you might know if these items are reliable or unreliable. With these thoughts in mind: Post a brief description of a specific testing scenario. Then describe one reliable test item and one unreliable test item for that testing scenario. Finally, explain what determines whether an item is reliable or unreliable...
