Kendyl is aware of John Gottman’s Weekend Workshops for couples and she is interested in the research question: Is there a statistically signi²cant difference in couples’ satisfaction before participating in the workshop and one week after participating in the workshop? In order to measure relationship satisfaction, Kendyl researches a reliable instrument called “Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale” (Fowes & Olson, 1993) and gives this scale to couples before participating in the workshop and then again one week after participating. When analyzing the data, what statistical test should Kendyl use to answer the research question and why? (2 points for correct test listed and 3 points for rationale) Online Residential Athletics Sign In Request Info Apply Now Visit Us Create Guest Account

Your Answer: Kendyl should use the dependent samples T-Test because her research question is asking if there is a difference between scores in satisfaction before and after the workshop. This indicates that she will be measuring the same participants when administering the Enrich Marital Satisfaction Scale two times. 4 / 5 pts Question 2 Your Answer: Kendyl decides to use a Paired Samples T-Test and her results indicate a pretest mean of 31.3667 (SD = 6.31082) and a posttest mean of 34.9667 (SD = 6.65652), p = .000. 1. Did Kendyl use the correct statistical test? 2. Despite whether Kendyl used the correct test, what do these results indicate? Yes, Kendyl used the correct statistical test. Her results indicate that there is statistical signi²cance in her study due to p = .000. This is because the p-value must be p< .05 for a study to show signi²cant ²ndings where hers showed p = .000. 2 / 2 pts Question 3 Under the second phase of program evaluation, which of the following is a step in creating a focused program evaluation?

a. Determining the purposes of the program evaluation Creating a consolidated data collection plan to assess progress c. Collecting background information about the program d. Making a preliminary agreement regarding the evaluation 2 / 2 pts Question 4 Single-subject designs involve a longitudinal perspective achieved by repeated observations or measurements of the variable. True False 2 / 2 pts Question 5

Which of the following is true of single-subject experimental designs? a. Different treatment phases need to be included in them to demonstrate change due to the independent variable. b. These designs are cross-sectional in nature and involve collection of data at a single point of time. c. They involve collection of single data points before and after interventions d. They produce ²ndings which can be easily generalized to other individuals and situations. 2 / 2 pts Question 6 In the context of dependent sample designs, all the extraneous variables should be included in the study as independent variables in order to determine their effects. True False

2 / 2 pts Question 7 Which of the following describes the most essential rules of research as expressed by Kerlinger’s MAXMINCON principle? a. Researchers try to maximize error variance, minimize the systematic variance of the variables under study, and control extraneous variables. b. Researchers try to maximize the systematic variance of the variables under study, minimize error variance, and control dependent variables. c. Researchers try to maximize error variance, minimize the systematic variance of the variables under study, and control dependent variables. d. Researchers try to maximize the systematic variance of the variables under study, minimize error variance, and control extraneous variables. 2 / 2 pts Question 8 Descriptive studies can suggest possible causal connections among variables that can be examined in experimental designs.

True False 2 / 2 pts Question 9 Cross- sectional survey studies are like ²lming a video that documents how changes occur over time. True False 0 / 2 pts Question 10 Incorrect Incorrect Which of the following is true of survey research designs? Survey research designs use taxonomic system to identify groups of individuals who share common attributes among a heterogeneous population Survey research designs typically use self-reports to identify facts, opinions, attitudes, and behavior. Survey research designs maintain uniformity irrespective of the group under study. Survey research designs use mobile positioning techniques to examine the relationships between two or more variables.

2 / 2 pts Question 11 Cathy conducted a survey on the relationship between substance abuse and average annual income of an individual. She divided the annual incomes into three ranges, labelled them as low income, middle income, and high income, and found the groups to be present in the target population in the ratio of 4:5:1. Cathy needed a sample of 100 participants. She selected 40, 50, and 10 people from each income group in a manner such that each individual in a subgroup had equal chance of getting selected into the respective subsample. Which of the following sampling techniques has Cathy used in this scenario? Strati²ed random sampling Convenience Sampling Cluster sampling Quota sampling 2 / 2 pts Question 12 Experimental procedures such as randomly assigning clients to placebo groups or to waiting-list control groups can cause problems in real-life counseling. True False

2 / 2 pts Question 13 According to some researchers, ²ndings from analogue research tend to lack _____. Credibility Generalizability Speci²city Variability 2 / 2 pts Question 14 Program evaluators ideally want to be involved while counseling programs are being designed. True False 0 / 2 pts Question 15 Incorrect Incorrect Getting stakeholders actively involved in the process of program evaluation is one of the most counterintuitive steps of evaluation.

True False 0 / 2 pts Question 16 Incorrect Incorrect Which of the following of the following is ideally the next immediate phase of program evaluation after setting the boundaries of the evaluation? Identifying stakeholders and funders Reporting the research ²ndings Selecting appropriate evaluation methods Collecting and analyzing research data 2 / 2 pts Question 17 Even though structured observations and participant observations provide two different data sets, it is common to use both observation methods simultaneously in counseling research. True False

2 / 2 pts Question 18 A program evaluator's responsibility is to determine if there is a match among the counseling treatment, the anticipated outcomes, and the outcome measures True False 2 / 2 pts Question 19 Which of the following is the difference between intensive single- subject designs and single-subject experimental designs? In intensive single-subject designs, researchers use qualitative data, whereas in single-subject experimental designs, researchers use qualitative as well as quantitative data. Intensive single-subject designs involve single observations, whereas single-subject experimental designs involve multiple observations. Intensive single-subject designs are primarily used to test a theory or discover new information, whereas single- subject experimental designs are only used to establish relationships between variables. d. In intensive single-subject designs, the independent variable is observed, whereas in single-subject experimental designs, the independent variable is manipulated.

2 / 2 pts Question 20 Which of the following is true about the uncontrolled case study? It uses observations that are planned before the beginning of data collection. It provides ambiguous information, which is di±cult to interpret clearly. It produces ²ndings that can be easily generalized to other individuals and situations. It includes different treatment phases, which can be used for comparison of the dependent variables 2 / 2 pts Question 21 Early counseling research tended to focus solely on either client outcome or counseling process. True

False 2 / 2 pts Question 22 Correlational designs are one of the most commonly utilized designs in counseling process research. True False Quiz Score: 43 out of 50
