<p>What is a culture-fair test?</p>
<p>Not sure, but from what I can gather it is difficult to create a truly culturally fair test.</p>
<p>Wasn’t the study in the second FRQ about the difference in the results of cramming and spreading your studying? For the experimental design flaw, I wrote that the two groups were of significantly different ages so you can’t really compare the effectiveness of the study methods. The solution was to equalize the ages of the groups.</p>
<p>A culture fair test is a test which is not biased culturally. People of similar caliber, from different cultures are expected to do similarly on these tests. However, it is close to impossible to have a perfectly unbiased test.</p>
<p>Clearly the best answer for the flaws were:
Ethical: Confidentiality
Design: Multiple variables</p>
<p>However other answers such as debriefing and not-random-assignment are both valid as well, and if prevalent enough in their sample, might make it on the rubric</p>
<p>What was the operational definition for the second essay?</p>
<p>I believe it was for the dependent variable. It was something like the number of vocabulary words correctly recalled by both groups or something like that. I can’t remember very well.</p>
<p>would writing anonymity in place of confidentiality be marked wrong?</p>
<p>dopecake, if I don’t think that would be marked wrong because in the context of the situation, the words are nearly synonymous.</p>
<p>alright thanks because out of everyone in this thread i think i’m the only one who put anonymity</p>
<p>The entire year I got confused on authoritative and authoritarian, ugh. So I think I put the wrong one on the exam once again.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I got at least a 4. Overall the test was pretty easy, and thankfully the FRQ’s were not unbearable</p>
<p>I got a 5 on the practice exam, so hopefully I got a 5 on the actual one. I honestly didn’t find it that bad, though.</p>
<p>So what did you guys put for the operational definition of the dependent variable?</p>
<p>hey guys who got the scores back. how was the frq graded? easily?</p>
<p>Scores don’t come out until Friday?</p>
<p>@FireLion- you don’t get scores to each section back so no one is going to be able to answer your question. You are just going to have to wait a few more days to get your score, and eventually the scoring criteria will be available online. I’m sure you did fine, though :)</p>
<p>FireLion,
I got my score back, but that doesn’t really mean much. I will tell you that in my opinion, the operational definition of the dependent variable is the score of the recall test, however that is measured. I also believe that there is one ethical flaw, and that is that anonymity is violated. The research design flaw, in my opinion, is the fact that age was a confounding variable and that they should be randomly assigned to the groups.</p>
<p>LMAO I already forgot all my Psychology. I self-studied and am anxiously awaiting my score :(</p>
<p>@Firelion, well, I got a 5 on the test, but I thought I did really well on the whole thing. So that doesn’t really tell you much I guess, haha.</p>
