(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

When your analysis suggests the results of a study it is highly unlikely to have occurred by chance
Statistically significant
Where experimenters/observers rate behaviour differently due to having a desired outcome
Observer bias
A fake (or dummy) treatment given to patients in the control group of a clinical trial.
Placebo
An experimental design where each participants only takes part in one condition of the IV
Independent groups
An experiment conducted under highly controlled conditions to investigate cause and effect
Laboratory Experiment
After completing the research, the true aim is revealed to the participant.
Debriefing
A group that is not subjected to the IV in a experiment
Control group
When participants try to guess the true purpose of an experiment and behave in a way they believe the experimenters want
Demand characteristics
When neither the experimenter nor the participants are aware of which experimental group they are assigned to
Double-blind
A group that is treated normally and gives us a measure of how people behave when they are not exposed to the experimental treatment
Control group
An in depth investigation into only one person or situation
Case study
There are equal groups where participants are matched based on certain characteristics e.g. gender, age…etc
Matched-pairs
Research that generates non-numerical data, such as a person's description of their pain rather than a measure of pain.
Qualitative research
A technique where rather than conducting new research with participants, the researchers examine the results of several studies that have already been conducted
Meta-analysis
a measure of the extent to which two variables are related
Correlation
Variables that if not controlled may affect the DV and provide a false impression than an IV has produced changes when it hasn’t.
Extraneous variables
When the positioning of tasks influences the outcome
Order effects
The extent to which the findings of a research study are able to be generalized to real-life settings
Ecological validity
The variable that the experimenter manipulates
Independent variable
A sampling technique where participants are chosen because they are easily available
Opportunity sample
When two observers/experimenters give consistent ratings for the same participants.
Inter-rater reliability
When the same participant will get the same result on a test on multiple occasions
Test-retest reliability
An arrangement of a data that is symmetrical and forms a bell shaped pattern where the mean, median and mode all fall in the centre at the highest peak
Normal distribution
where a researcher tells the participants that they are being observed and what they are being observed for.
Overt observation
A study in which a number of similar people are randomly assigned to 2 (or more) groups to test a specific drug, treatment or other intervention.
Randomised Control Trial
a formal statement or prediction of what the researcher expects to find. It needs to be testable.
Hypothesis
A 5 point scale that is used to assess attitudes and views. e.g. to what extent do you agree...
Likert Scale
the tendency for survey respondents to agree with research statements, without the action being a true reflection of their own position or the question itself
Acquiescence bias
a decline in performance on a prolonged or demanding research task that is generally attributed to the participant becoming tired or bored with the task.
Fatigue Effects
The variable that is measured
Dependent variable
When participants are given all the necessary information about an experiment before agreeing to take part
Informed consent
When a test or experiment accurately measures what it intends to measure
Validity
characteristics of participants that may unintentionally influence how they respond to the DV e.g. age, gender
Participant variables
Where each participant is assigned to more than one condition of the IV
Repeated measures
Research that generates numerical data or data that can be converted into numbers.
Quantitative research
