Lesson 1 What Is Research?
Review Questions: Identifying Supporting Details
Directions: Read each main idea. Use your textbook to supply the details that support or explain each main idea.
Main Idea A: Because psychologists cannot study every member of a social group, they select a sample of the group to study and then generalize to the group as a whole.
1. Detail: A(n) __________________ sample of a group is one that includes all the di! erent types of people that are members of that group.
2. Detail: A large number of people that is not typical of the members of a group is a(n) __________________ sample.
3. Detail: A(n) __________________ sample consists of choosing people by chance, like drawing names from a hat.
4. Detail: A sample of a group that consists of deliberately selected members of various types of subgroups
is a(n) __________________ sample.
Main Idea B: Psychologists use a variety of methods to maximize the validity and accuracy of their research, depending on what they are studying.
1. Detail: A(n) __________________ study focuses in depth on a small number of subjects, while a(n)
__________________ study examines a large number of subjects for a limited purpose.
2. Detail: __________________ refers to studying the behavior of people or animals without being seen.
3. Detail: A survey is a common method of gathering data that often consists of __________________ and
__________________.
4. Detail: A(n) __________________ study looks at the same group of people over a period of time, while a(n)
__________________ study looks at people in di! erent age groups simultaneously.
5. Detail: If the more A increases the more B increases, they have a(n) __________________ correlation; if the
more A increases the more B decreases, they have a(n) __________________ correlation.
6. Detail: A(n) __________________ variable is one that an experimenter changes to observe its e! ect on
subjects; a(n) __________________ variable is one that an experimenter does not change, but changes as a result of the e! ect of the other variable.
7. Detail: In a psychological study, members of the __________________ group are exposed to changes but
members of the __________________ group are not.
