LA-MADE Week #1-5 OPTIONAL REVIEW PRACTICE
Week 1-2
1.
The first four stages of scientific research are
Question
,
Theory
,
Hypotheses
&
Operationalization
. How would you define each stage?
1.
Question
(in relationship/
2.
Theory
explanation )
3.
Hypotheses: directional & testable, mention relationship
4.
Operationalization: concept to variables
2.
Highlight all that is true of Deductive Logic of Inquiry:
a.
process moves from theory to hypothesis to data
b.
reflects a top-down approach
c.
process moves from data to empirical patterns to theory
d.
moves from abstract (theory) to concrete (data)
3.
Highlight all that is true of Inductive Logic of Inquiry:
a.
process moves from theory to hypothesis to data
b.
reflects a bottom-up approach
c.
process moves from data to empirical patterns to theory
d.
moves from concrete (data) to abstract (theory)
4.
An interconnected set of propositions that shows how or why something occurs:
a.
hypothesis
b.
theory
5.
An expected but unconfirmed relationship among two or more phenomena:
a.
hypothesis
b.
theory
Week 3
6.
Ethical principle that individuals should be given enough information about a study
especially its potential risks, to make an informed decision about whether to participate
is:
a.
deception
b.
informed consent
c.
debriefing
Week 4 (Causation & Variables)
7.
Have lots of data, variation orientation, collect data (first kind of causation - linked to
common) influence in cases/events explains:
a.
nomothetic
b.
idiographic
8.
Idiosyncratic (only happens once), one case, casual path explains:
a.
nomothetic
b.
idiographic
9.
(Variable) Depends on situation context, thing we are trying to explain:
a.
independent variable
b.
dependent variable
c.
intervening variable
d.
antecedent variable
10. (Variable) Independent variables that we always have to add:
a.
independent variable
b.
dependent variable
c.
intervening variable
d.
control variable
11. (Variable) We use to explain the dependent variable, ex: IV+IV+IV=DV:
a.
independent variable
b.
dependent variable
c.
intervening variable
d.
control variable
Week 5 (Operationalization & Measurement)
12. The process of identifying empirical indicators & the procedures of applying them to
measure a concept (selecting observable phenomena to represent abstract concepts) is:
a.
instrumentation
b.
hypothesis
c.
theory
d.
operationalization
13. How would you define
instrumentation (5
th
stage of scientific research)
?
Picking indicators/specific measures. Taking ideas in hypotheses stage & making them
concrete, physical, and actual event e.g. surveys
14. (Level of Measurement) Ordered categories, levels, not values- e.g. income, clothes size:
a.
nominal
b.
ordinal
c.
interval
d.
ratio
15. (Level of Measurement) Categories, mutually exclusive, collectively exclusive e.g.
political party identification:
a.
nominal
b.
ordinal
c.
interval
d.
ratio
16. (Level of Measurement) A level of measurement that has the qualities of the original
level plus equal distances (interval) between assigned numbers ex: difference between
IQ of 180 & 190 is equal to difference between 90 & 100? e.g. temperature
a.
nominal
b.
ordinal
c.
interval
d.
ratio
17. (Level of Measurement) The highest level of measurement, which has the features of the
other levels plus an absolute, nonarbitrary zero-point e.g. $20k is half of $40k
a.
nominal
b.
ordinal
c.
interval
d.
ratio
18. Are our measures consistent/stable?
a.
reliability
b.
validity
19. Are we measuring the right thing?
a.
reliability
b.
validity
20. (Validity) Something just makes sense
a.
content validity
b.
face validity
c.
criterion (convergent) validity
d.
construct validity
21. (Validity) Meeting some official standard e.g. thermometer
a.
content validity
b.
face validity
c.
criterion (convergent) validity
d.
construct validity

a.
