Research Process 3. Test ideas: – Descriptive research – examples of each? Archival data Surveys – Sampling issues with surveys: » How to use random sampling – » How to use random assignment into groups -

Independent variables: what is manipulated – Examples? Dependent variables: observed to determine impact of IV – Examples? Subject variables:

The Correlational Method: determines if two variables are related – Positive, negative, or no correlation? Cannot make cause-effect conclusions. – Often a third variable can explain relations between 2 variables under study – Example? Need experiments to determine cause-effect
