PSYCH 303 Study Guide - Final Guide: Level Of Measurement, Meta-Analysis, Analysis Of Variance
Document Summary
Data = set of observations that can either support or cause you to reject your hypothesis. Falsifiable = your theory needs to be able to be proven false through hypothesis testing. Theory = set of statements devised to explain a phenomena and is based on empirical data. Null hypothesis = the independent variable has no effect on the dependent variable, or the two variables are not correlated. Type 1 error = (cid:862)false positi(cid:448)e;(cid:863) (cid:455)ou (cid:396)eje(cid:272)t the (cid:374)ull h(cid:455)pothesis (cid:449)he(cid:374) it is a(cid:272)tuall(cid:455) t(cid:396)ue.

Null effect = the independent variable has no effect on the dependent variable, or the two variables are not correlated. Significance level = see p-value and statistical significance. Debrief = subjects must be told the true purpose of the study after participating, especially necessary for studies with deceit.
