You can compute the relationship using a correlation coefficient, which ranges from +1.00 to -1.00. The two variables have no systematic relationship at all. The Zero correlation: farther the correlation is from zero, the stronger the relationship. When one factor occurs, the other factor is very likely to occur. Positive Correlation: When one factor increases, the other decreases. Negative Correlation: Inferential Statistics: Statistical methods that allow experimenters to extend conclusions from samples to larger populations, i.e., what the results might mean more generally if we find a between two or more “difference groups” In order to declare that an intervention shows an effect, pr that Statistical significance: some difference between groups is it has to be statistically significant, that is, there “real” is only a five out of 100 chance that an observed difference is possible by chance ( p < .05 as the here) . We say that statistically significant means “gold standard” “Not likely due to chance!” Research Ethics Researchers working in universities and Institutional Review Board (IRB): other agencies receiving federal funding must receive the approval of IRBs for human participant research and institutional animal care and use committees (IACUCs) before conducting research. They must include one member of the community outside of the institution or agency to ensure the research is not conducted in secret. They are guided by federal regulations and research ethics endorsed by professional societies (e.g., American Psychological Association) These procedures do not extend to institutions that such a aren’t federally funded private corporations. At the core of ethical standards for human research is that Human Participants: participation is voluntary. Pay or extra credit for participation must not be so Reasonable Incentives: extreme that they become a primary motivation for prospective volunteers. Researchers must provide prospective participants with a Informed Consent: form that details the purpose of the study and what types of procedures will occur.
