Research Results
  1. Frequency distributions
    1. Indicates the number of participants who receive a score on a variable
      1. Pie chart
        1. Bar graph
          1. Used to compare group means or percentages
          2. Frequency polygons
            1. Uses a line to represent frequencies
              1. Used in interval or ratio scales
              2. Histograms
                1. Uses bars to display a frequency distribution for a quantitative variable
              3. Descriptive statistics
                1. Central tendency
                  1. Mean
                    1. X bar or M
                    2. Median
                      1. mdn
                      2. Mode
                        1. Good for nominal scales
                        2. Tells us what the sample as a whole is like
                        3. Variability
                          1. Characterizes the amount of spread in a distribution of scores
                            1. Standard deviation
                              1. The average deviation of scores from the mean
                              2. Variance
                                1. The standard deviation is derived from this
                                2. Range
                              3. Correlation coefficients
                                1. Statistic that describes how strongly variables are related
                                  1. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient
                                    1. Used when both variables have interval or ratio scale properties
                                      1. Provides information about strength and direction
                                      2. Restriction of range
                                        1. When individuals in sample are similar
                                        2. Can only find linear relationships
                                        3. Effect size
                                          1. Strength of association between variables
                                            1. Squared correlation coefficient
                                              1. The percent of shared variance between two variables
                                                1. Correlation = .7, therefore % = 49%
                                                2. Cohen's D
                                                  1. The magnitude of the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable
                                                  2. Regression equations
                                                    1. Used to predict one's score when that person's score on another test is known
                                                    2. Multiple correlation
                                                      1. Combines predictor variables to increase the accuracy of a prediction
                                                      2. Partial correlation
                                                        1. Provides a way of statistically controlling third variables in non experiments
