c. After their plane lands, the Australian rowing team completes a questionnaire on their sleepiness.
d. After the Australian basketball team finishes a game, their stress levels are measured.

a. Manipulate the minority of variables
b. Do not manipulate any variables; participants are assigned to a condition based on non-random criteria
c. Do not manipulate any variables; participants are assigned to a condition they select
d. Manipulate the majority of variables
3. An example of a cross-sectional study would be…
a. The Adelaide Thunderbirds netball team wear activity trackers all season, and their activity patterns are assessed over time.
b. The Adelaide Thunderbirds netball team self-report their depression levels after their 1st game of the season.
c. The Adelaide Thunderbirds netball team players log their injuries after each game of the season.
d. The Adelaide Thunderbirds netball team report their happiness levels after each game of the season.
4. We run an experiment investigating how monetary reward affects reaction time. Each participant undergoes each condition: (1) no monetary reward for reaction times <150ms, (2) $5 reward if >20% of reaction times <150ms, (3) $50 reward if >40% of reaction times <150ms. The order of conditions is counterbalanced across participants. What design is being used here? a. Quasi-experimental between-subjects design b. Experimental within-subjects design c. Observational within-subjects design d. Observational mixed-subjects design 5. We ran a study investigating how younger and older adults remember faces. All participants were presented with 20 images of faces, presented one at a time for 5 seconds, and were instructed that they should remember all images. They then engaged in a foil (distractor) task for 20 minutes, after which, they were presented with 40 images of faces, half of which were initially presented to them. They had to indicate whether the image was "old" (i.e. previously presented) or "new" (i.e. not previously presented). Correct responses were recorded and compared between the younger and older adult groups. What study design is being used here? a. Mixed between-within subjects b. Population-based c. Within-subjects d. Between-subjects 6. We go to a high school and collect data on numeracy and literacy from all students on one day. What can we say about the study design? It is... a. Cross-sectional, experimental and between-subjects b. Longitudinal, experimental and mixed (between- and within-subject assessments) c. Cross-sectional, observational, and between-subjects d. Longitudinal, quasi-experimental and mixed (between- and within-subject assessments) 7. A population-based sample... a. Cannot be randomly sampled b. Is more biased than clinic samples c. Represents the structure of the underlying population d. Is typically recruited through social media 8. Most psychological research is on western, educated, industrialised, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) samples. This means... a. That Universities in developing countries haven't published their findings b. That highly educated people show the same pattern of responses as those with less education c. That findings reflect most of the world's population d. That generalisation is very limited 9. We advertise a study investigating the effects of bungee jumping. The poster states that participation involves bungee jumping off a man-made structure in Port Adelaide. We are most likely to observe... a. A self-selection bias amongst participants b. An under coverage bias amongst participants c. A healthy bias amongst participants d. A fear bias amongst participants 10. Experimental designs are characterised by... a. Conditions and manipulations b. Manipulation of at least one variable and randomisation c. Allocation to conditions based participant characteristics d. Manipulation of at least two variables and randomisation
