• Torque = moment of force
• Moment = product of distance from reference point and some other quantity
• Deviation= distance from mean= distance from balance point

True Experiment
• Hypothesis: X causes Y
• Systematically vary X
• Everything else the same

Groups
• Experimental Group
• Control Group
• No control group

Participants
• Participants
• Subjects
![Page 12: Lecture 4: Web Chapter 1 Statistics for Psychology David Wallace Croft 2005 May 25 Wed Copyright 2005 David Wallace Croft This work is licensed under the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ef95503460f94c0ae4b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Variables
• Independent variable
• Dependent variable
• Manipulate independent variable
• Dependent variable should follow
• If not, no cause-effect relationshipin that direction
![Page 13: Lecture 4: Web Chapter 1 Statistics for Psychology David Wallace Croft 2005 May 25 Wed Copyright 2005 David Wallace Croft This work is licensed under the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ef95503460f94c0ae4b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Population vs. Sample
• Population
• Sample
• N – 1
![Page 14: Lecture 4: Web Chapter 1 Statistics for Psychology David Wallace Croft 2005 May 25 Wed Copyright 2005 David Wallace Croft This work is licensed under the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ef95503460f94c0ae4b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ideal Research Design
• Participants in both groups identical
• Identical situations except manipulated variable
• Sample represents population
• Measurement is accurate and appropriate
![Page 15: Lecture 4: Web Chapter 1 Statistics for Psychology David Wallace Croft 2005 May 25 Wed Copyright 2005 David Wallace Croft This work is licensed under the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ef95503460f94c0ae4b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Participants Identical
• Random assignment
• No systematic difference
• Examples
![Page 16: Lecture 4: Web Chapter 1 Statistics for Psychology David Wallace Croft 2005 May 25 Wed Copyright 2005 David Wallace Croft This work is licensed under the](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56649ef95503460f94c0ae4b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Situations Identical
• Different room
• Different lighting
• Different time of day
• Different person giving instructions
• Avoid systematic difference other than manipulated variable

Double-Blind Experiment
• Placebo and Hawthorne Effect
• Experimenter bias
• Double-blind procedure
• Free weights
• Marital counselling
• Communication disorders

Representativeness of the Sample
• Sample vs. Population
• Generalizability or external validity
• Flukey sample
• Registered voters vs. likely voters
• College students
• Recruitment
• Random sampling

Measurement
• Accurate and Appropriate
• Inaccurate: grading or transcription error
• Inappropriate: bad question on exam
