Chapter 6 1. The primary method of analysis for a case study is: observation. manipulation. experimentation. control.

Chapter 6 (Answer) 1. The primary method of analysis for a case study is: observation. manipulation. experimentation. control.

Chapter 6 2. Case studies provide: data on what most people do. detail regarding unusual events or abilities. generalizability to the population. evidence for cause-effect relationships.

Chapter 6 (Answer) 2. Case studies provide: data on what most people do. detail regarding unusual events or abilities. generalizability to the population. evidence for cause-effect relationships.

Chapter 6 3. Causal conclusions are a challenge for case studies because: ethical constraints become an issue. not all variables may be controlled. data is descriptive. methods can be exploratory.

Chapter 6 (Answer) 3. Causal conclusions are a challenge for case studies because: ethical constraints become an issue. not all variables may be controlled. data is descriptive. methods can be exploratory.

Chapter 6 4. When researchers have expectations or other predispositions that distort their observations, it is called: external validity. naturalistic observation. observer bias. participant observation.

Chapter 6 (Answer) 4. When researchers have expectations or other predispositions that distort their observations, it is called: external validity. naturalistic observation. observer bias. participant observation.

Chapter 6 qualitative quantitative mixed-methods 5. Which type of observational research involves the goal of holistic description and understanding through non-statistical means? qualitative quantitative mixed-methods structured observation

Chapter 6 (Answer) 5. Which type of observational research involves the goal of holistic description and understanding through non-statistical means? qualitative quantitative mixed-methods structured observation

Chapter 6 6. Which is NOT an advantage of observational research? examining relations between naturally occurring variables overcoming ethical constraints found in experiments ecological validity control over the research setting

Chapter 6 (Answer) 6. Which is NOT an advantage of observational research? examining relations between naturally occurring variables overcoming ethical constraints found in experiments ecological validity control over the research setting

Chapter 6 7. A naturalistic observation of children’s aggressive acts being observed on a playground from a hidden video camera in a tree would be an example of: disguised naturalistic observation. undisguised naturalistic observation. disguised participant observation. undisguised participant observation.

Chapter 6 (Answer) disguised naturalistic observation. 7. A naturalistic observation of children’s aggressive acts being observed on a playground from a hidden video camera in a tree would be an example of: disguised naturalistic observation. undisguised naturalistic observation. disguised participant observation. undisguised participant observation.

Chapter 6 8. An issue for undisguised observations is: blind observation. reactivity. interobserver reliability. habituation.

Chapter 6 (Answer) 8. An issue for undisguised observations is: blind observation. reactivity. interobserver reliability. habituation.

Chapter 6 structured observation and diaries. 9. Ethnographies combine: structured observation and diaries. behavioral coding systems and peer nominations. participant observation and interviews. observer rating and ranking scales.

Chapter 6 (Answer) 9. Ethnographies combine: structured observation and diaries. behavioral coding systems and peer nominations. participant observation and interviews. observer rating and ranking scales.

Chapter 6 10. The difference between structured observation and naturalistic observation is: only naturalistic observations are conducted in a home setting. structured observations are disguised. structured observations control administered tasks. naturalistic observations are only an analogue of real life.

Chapter 6 (Answer) 10. The difference between structured observation and naturalistic observation is: only naturalistic observations are conducted in a home setting. structured observations are disguised. structured observations control administered tasks. naturalistic observations are only an analogue of real life.
