Giving every participant an equal chance of landing in either group is:

  2. Naturalistic observation
  3. Correlational research

Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. Random assignment

1. Groups must start out comparable for a comparison to mean anything. 2. With random assignment, all participants have an equal chance of being assigned to either group. 3. That evens out unknown differences between the groups on average. 4. It is what makes a causal conclusion possible. _Source: OpenStax Psychology 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 2 'Psychological Research', sections 2.1-2.4_

The statistic that measures how strongly two variables move together is the:

  1. Correlation coefficient
  2. Standard deviation
  3. Operational definition
  4. Confidence interval
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Correlation coefficient

1. Correlational research looks at relationships rather than causes. 2. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. 3. It reports both the strength and the direction of the relationship. 4. Standard deviation describes the spread of a single variable instead. _Source: OpenStax Psychology 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 2 'Psychological Research', sections 2.1-2.4_

Groupthink is a phenomenon arising specifically in:

  1. Group settings
  2. Solitary work
  3. Written exams
  4. Sleep research
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Group settings

1. The name itself points to where the effect occurs. 2. When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of people around us. 3. Groupthink is the case where that influence suppresses dissent inside a decision-making group. 4. Working alone removes the source of the pressure. 5. It is a group-level failure rather than an individual cognitive bias. _Source: OpenStax Psychology 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 12 'Social Psychology', sections 12.1-12.5_
