1) Sarah tests the relationship between personality and decision-making by dividing participants into high and low extraversion groups based on their personality scores and seeing which group makes decisions faster on a timed decision-making task. What is the design?
Select one:
a. Nonequivalent Groups Design (Nonexperimental Differential Research Design)
b. Nonequivalent Groups Design (Nonexperimental Posttest Only Nonequivalent Control Group Design)
c. Nonequivalent Groups Design (Quasi-Experimental Pretest-Posttest Nonequivalent Control Group Design)
d. Pre-Post Design (Quasi-Experimental Time-Series Design)
2) Alex is interested in the benefits of kinetic learning. He chooses two preschools: one that is using a kinetic learning program and another that is not. At the end of the first term, he tests the reading comprehension level at both preschools. What is the design?
Select one:
a. Pre-Post Design (Nonexperimental One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design)
b. Nonequivalent Groups Design (Nonexperimental Posttest Only Nonequivalent Control Group Design)
c. Pre-Post Design (Quasi-Experimental Time-Series Design)
d. Nonequivalent Groups Design (Nonexperimental Differential Research Design)
3) Sue investigates thrill-seeking behavior across adolescence. She recruits a group of 10 year-olds and measures their thrill-seeking behaviors once per year over 6 years. What design is she using?
Select one:
a. One group pretest posttest design
b. Cross-sectional design
c. Cross-sectional longitudinal design
d. Longitudinal design
4) Cady tests attitudes toward corporal punishment as a function of age by recruiting three groups: a group of 20 year-olds, a group of 50 year-olds, and a group of 80 year-olds. What design is she using?
Select one:
a. Longitudinal design
b. Differential research design
c. Cross-sectional design
d. Within-subject design
5) Eve follows a group of participants over 7 weeks and measures each person's self-esteem once a week. On the 4th week (half way through) she puts all participants through a one-day vigorous exercise program to see if the experience affects their self-esteem over the coming weeks. What is the design?

a. Pre-Post Design (Nonexperimental One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design)
b. Nonequivalent Groups Design (Quasi-Experimental Pretest-Posttest Nonequivalent Control Group Design)
c. Nonequivalent Groups Design (Nonexperimental Posttest Only Nonequivalent Control Group Design)
d. Pre-Post Design (Quasi-Experimental Time-Series Design)
6) Dr. Dougie Purellant places male participants into 3 groups based on their sexual orientation (i.e., homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual) and compares differences across groups in self-reported confidence. Here, what type of variable is sexual orientation?
Select one:
a. Dependent variable
b. Independent variable
c. Quasi-independent variable
d. Third-variable
7) Laney tests the effectiveness of her stop-bullying education program by measuring the incidence of bullying at 2 middle schools, administering her program at one school, then re-measuring the incidence of bullying 6 months later at both schools. What is the design?
Select one:
a. Nonequivalent Groups Design (Nonexperimental Differential Research Design)
b. Nonequivalent Groups Design (Nonexperimental Posttest Only Nonequivalent Control Group Design)

b. Nonequivalent Groups Design (Quasi-Experimental Pretest-Posttest Nonequivalent Control Group Design)
c. Pre-Post Design (Quasi-Experimental Time-Series Design)
