Module 3

The document contains a multiple choice test on key concepts in research methods. It asks about the definition of terms like hypothesis, control groups, random sampling, and correlation coefficients. It also includes true/false and identification questions about validity, reliability, sampling bias, informed consent, double-blind studies, pilot testing, statistical significance, confounding variables, and generalization. The final section matches research terms like quota sampling, reliability coefficients, ANOVA, operationalization, and Type I errors to their definitions.
