of the day after visitors departed.
Which approach did he use?

Jack just completed a study of the confounding and/or Type 1 error
effects of caffeine and rave music on
recall. He is excited about finding a
significant interaction and says, "This
is so cool! I've proved my research
hypothesis. Jolt cola with rave music
is the way to study." Jack's
experiment cannot prove his
research hypothesis because his
results could be due to
Which technique manipulates field experiment
antecedent conditions and observes
outcomes in a natural setting?
When subjects react to being external validity
observed, they may behave
differently than those who are not
observed. This creates a problem
involving
The advantage of unobtrusive have greater external validity and yield more realistic data

Bama conducted an experiment on a ceiling effect
rats to study the effects of prior
experience on hunger motivation.
He measured "hunger" by measuring
how many food pellets out of 20 a
rat consumed in two minutes.
However, all the rats ate almost all
20 pellets in every condition. Bama's
study was threatened by
Dr. Moss privately worries that his a pact of ignorance
subjects may have guessed his
research hypothesis, but doesn't
press his subjects for information.
Several of his subjects believe that
they know the experiment's purpose,
but do not reveal this to Dr. Moss.
What problem does this situation
describe?
A design is multivariate when it multiple dependent variables in combination
studies
the grouping together and averaging of data gathered in
various ways, including aggregation over subjects, over
aggregation

over measures
an experiment conducted outside the laboratory that is used
to increase external validity, verify earlier laboratory
field experiment
findings, and investigate problems that cannot be studied
successfully in the laboratory

variable was manipulated successfully
the statistical procedure used to study the impact of
multivariate analysis of variance
independent variables on two or more dependent variables;
(MANOVA)
an extension of analysis of variance
research design or statistical procedure used to evaluate the
effects of many dependent variables in combination,
multivariate design
including multiple correlation, factor analysis, and
