1: What is the main distinction between the nonequivalent comparison-group design and the pretest–posttest control-group design?
A. The use of pretesting in the latter
B. The use of statistical data analysis in the latter
C. Random assignment of participants to the groups in the latter
D. More than one independent variable in the latter
2: What is the design consisting of a treatment group and an untreated comparison group, both of which are administered pretest and posttest measures? Furthermore, there is no random assignment to the groups.
A. Pretest–posttest control-group design
B. Nonequivalent comparison-group design
C. One-group pretest-posttest design
D. One-group posttest-only design
3: Which of the following designs is the strongest on internal validity?
A. Pretest-posttest control-group design
B. Nonequivalent comparison-group design
C. One-group pretest-posttest design
D. One-group posttest-only design
4: In which of the following designs is differential selection a threat to internal validity?
A. Pretest–posttest control-group design
B. Nonequivalent comparison-group design
C. One-group pretest-posttest design
D. Posttest-only control-group design
5: Of the threats to internal validity discussed in previous chapters, which is most likely a source of confounding in an interrupted time-series design?
A. Participant expectations
B. History
C. Selection
D. Regression
6: Which of the following is NOT one of the requirements of the regression-discontinuity design?
A. Group assignment must be based on a cutoff score.
B. The cutoff score should be located at one of the extreme ends of the distribution of scores on the preassignment measure.
C. The experimenter must control the assignment of participants to groups.
D. The assignment variable must be at least an ordinal variable and is best if it is a continuous variable.
7: Single-case designs are most closely related to which type of quasi-experimental design?
A. The nonequivalent comparison group design
B. The cross-over design
C. The interrupted time-series design
D. The regression discontinuity design
8: Which of the following designs always has multiple pretests and multiple posttests?
A. One-group pretest–posttest design
B. Nonequivalent comparison-group design
C. Pretest–posttest control-group design
D. Interrupted time-series design
9: Ms. Vasquez has decided to address the amount of time students get out of their seats. She begins the intervention with Joe and the 4 weeks later she implements if Chandler, and after another 2 weeks she begins the intervention with Nancy. What type of design is she using?
A. A-B-A
B. Nonequivalent comparison-group design
C. Interrupted time series design
D. Multiple-baseline design
10: Justin is going through his own personal program of endurance training. In the first 2 weeks, he rewards himself with a quarter every day he runs a complete mile. In the next 2 weeks, he gives himself a quarter for every two consecutive miles run. Next, he gives himself a quarter for every three consecutive miles, and so on, increasing every 2 weeks the number of miles he must run for each quarter. By the end of the fall semester, Justin can run eight consecutive miles a day. This program is very much like which single-case research design?
A. A-B-A design
B. Interaction design
C. Multiple baseline design
D. Changing criterion design
11: In an interrupted time-series design, a treatment condition is assessed by comparing the pattern of pretest responses with the pattern of posttest responses obtained from a single.
A. True
B. False
12: For a multiple-baseline design to demonstrate treatment effectiveness, the performance of each case must reverse its performance.
A. True
B. False
13: The most common reason for the use of quasi-experimental research designs is that it is unethical to manipulate the independent variable.
A. True
B. False
14: It is problematic to demonstrate causality in quasi-experimental designs.
A. True
B. False
15: In the A-B-A design, we determine whether the treatment, as opposed to some other variable, was responsible for any observed changes in behavior when there is continuation of the target behavior at its observed treatment level when the treatment is removed.
A. True
B. False
