When psychologists carry out research, they should do allof the following to ensure the integrity of their resultsEXCEPT:
1. Search for information in favor of their hypothesis 2. Search for information that disproves their hypothesis3. Replicate the results of previous studies4. Analyze data using statistical or mathematical methods5. Draw conclusions about their findings

One criticism of many research methods, such as experiments, is their artificiality in trying to capture behavior as it might occur in the real world. One method that can be used to overcome this by recording behavior as it occurs in real time is called:
1. Experiment2. Correlation3. Survey4. Naturalistic observation 5. Case study
LO 1.8

A researcher is interested in studying the effects of music
on academic performance in college students in the United
States. To make sure that the researcher gets a
representative sample of the population she wants to study,
she must:
1. randomly assign students to experimental and control groups.
2. control for observer bias.
3. engage in random sampling.
4. control for the observer effect.
5. use blind observers to collect data.

A researcher examines the effects of marijuana on
cognitive functioning. He assigns adults who receive less
than 5 hours of sleep per night to the experimental
condition, and adults who receive 8 hours of sleep or more
per night to the control condition, and concludes that
marijuana does lower cognitive functioning. Sleep is:
1. An independent variable
2. A dependent variable
3. A confounding variable
4. The experimental group
5. The control group

4. the researcher does not know the experimental hypothesis.
5. only one group of subjects does not know to which group they have been assigned.
