Longitudinal design is used to discover relationships between variables that are not related to various background variables. This observational research technique involves studying the same group of individuals over an extended period.

What term describes a measure of how tightly clustered a group of scores from a data set is around the average?

A standard deviation (or σ) is a measure of how dispersed the data is in relation to the mean. Low standard deviation means data are clustered around the mean, and high standard deviation indicates data are more spread out.

What is an experimental design quizlet?

an experimental design in which each condition in the experiment is performed by a different group of participants. Also known as a between-subjects design.

Which of the following refers to the subjects in an experimental study who do not receive the treatment being investigated?

Control Group -- the group in an experimental design that receives either no treatment or a different treatment from the experimental group. This group can thus be compared to the experimental group.
