  • A sample is a subset of elements from the larger population you are interested in when doing research.

  • The sampling unit is the list from which elements of the population are selected.

  • Research projects can include both primary and secondary sampling units.

  • Cross-population generalizability refers to the ability to generalize from a sample, or subset, of a larger population to that population itself.

  • The smaller the sampling error, the less representative the sample is of the population from which it was drawn.

  • When researchers are interested in studying the entire population versus drawing a sample, they are conducting a census.

  • Nonprobability sampling is a sampling method where the probability of selection of population elements is known.

  • When a sample is randomly selected from the population, every element has a known and independent chance of being selected into the sample.

  • The smaller the sample, the more confidence we can have in the sample’s representativeness of the population from which it was drawn.

  • Systematic random sampling involves the use of a random number table.

  • Multistage cluster sampling is a sampling method in which elements are selected in two or more stages.

  • Availability sampling is a sampling method that relies on the selection of a sample that is convenient to find.

  • Snowball sampling is a probability-based sampling method.

  • A skewed distribution is a distribution shaped like a bell and centered around the population mean, with the number of cases tapering off in a predictable pattern on both sides of the mean.

  • An idiographic causal explantion is one involving the belief that variation in an independent variable will be followed by variation in the dependent variable.

  • The conterfactual refers to the situation as it would have been in the absence of variation in the independent variable.

  • A nomothetic causal explantion is often also termed an individualist or a historicist explanation.

  • Empirical association, appropriate time order, and nonspuriousness are the conditions necessary for determining causality.

  • In order to establish appropriate time order, the researcher must demonstrate that the variation in the dependent variable occurred prior to the variation in the independent variable.

  • When a third variable is responsible for the association between an independent variable and the dependent variable, the relationship between the independent and dependent variable is considered spurious.

  • Contextual effects are reported when the relationship among variables are different across geographical contexts.

  • In a true experiment, outcomes are measured in a prettest.

  • A defining feature of quasi-experimental designs is random assignment.

  • Longitudinal research designs involve the collection of data at two or more points in time.

  • Repeated cross-sectional designs are also referred to as trend studies.

  • Attrition is a known problem in cross-sectional research.

  • All individuals born in 1990 would represent a cohort.

  • Units of analysis are always individuals.

  • An ecological fallacy is an error in reasoning in which incorrect conclusions about individual-level processes are drawn from group-level data.

  • True experiments do not require random assignment.
