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...

A researcher who measures a dependent variable from separate individuals over time is conducted which type of research design? a. Cross-sectional research design b. Cross-sectional longitudinal design c. Longitudinal research design d. Experimental within-subjects design
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.

A researcher is interested in how diet affects athletic performance. She instructs one group of participants to consume a high protein diet, a second group to consume a low sugar diet, and a third group to not change their diet at all (to eat as they normally would) for 3 weeks. She compares the amount of time it takes participants in each group to run one mile. 1. What is the null hypothesis? A. H0: µ1 = µ2 =µ3 B....
