11)A good statement of the problem A)is not needed at the correlational level of research. B) is presented in the form of a question. C)depends entirely on the operational definitions. D)is primarily focused on the independent variable(s). 12)Which of the following is characteristic of a good statement of the problem? A)It should state clearly the expected relationships between variables. B)It identifies the statistical procedures. C)It need not, at this stage, suggest the possibility of empirical testing. D)It is not particularly important at lower levels of research. 13)In experimental research, a good statement of the problem will include A)statistical analyses. B)identification of at least two variables. C)data collection. D)specification of the number of participants. 14)When formulating a problem statement at the experimental level, A)we indicate the direction of the expected causal effects. B)we don’t care about the direction of causal effects. C)we don’t need to identify specific variables. D)it is best not to make predictions about either causality or direction of causal effects. 15)Which of the following represents the best example of a problem statement at the experimental level of constraint? A)Are mathematical and verbal ability correlated? B)Does the presence of a stranger in the room increase the crying of an infant? C)What are some of the behaviours of herring gulls? D)What behaviours are associated with a rise in temperature? 16)A good statement of the problem A)is concerned only with inductive prediction. B)specifies the number of participants needed. C)includes the statistical procedures. D)should imply the possibility of empirical testing. 17)The classic research by Darley and Latane (1968) demonstrated the importance of A)coming to the aid of a bystander. B)having a large number of people present to prevent violent crime. C)constructing a good problem statement. D)basing a problem statement on common sense. 18)According to Kerlinger, one of the most important criteria of a good problem statement is A)that it should propose specific empirical research. B)that it should avoid discussing relationships between variables. C)that the problem should be posed in the form of a statement. D)that the problem should be stated clearly in the form of a question. 19)After the statement of the problem has been clearly defined and the major variables identified, the next step in developing a research hypothesis is to A)test the problem statement on research participants. B)operationally define the variables. C)analyze the data. D)interpret the results. 20)At all levels of constraint, variables are defined both A)theoretically and conceptually. B)operationally and practically. C)conceptually and operationally. D)dependently and independently. Â
