1. If two groups in a nonequivalent group design that are implemented simultaneously show significantly different rate of missing responses for post-test, it is most likely that this study design suffers from ________________________.
a- selection-statistical regression threat to internal validity.
b- selection-history threat to internal validity.
c- selection - mortality threat to internal validity.
d- selection-maturity threat to internal validity.
The correct answer is Option C. It is most likely that this study design suffers from selection-mortality threat to internal validity.

1. The pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design is also very commonly used in psychology. Which of the following is NOT a benefit of using this design when random assignment is not possible: It reduces the threat of assignment bias It limits threats from time-related factors It provides some evidence of a potential cause-effect relationship It rules out differential history effects 2. Particularly when they do not include a control group, pre-post designs are most vulnerable to ____________-related threats to internal...

1. Ifa study includes random assignment but not a control group, the design may still be considered to be a true experimental design. True a. b. False Using control groups help account for which of the following threats to internal validity except? 2. History a. b. Testing Maturation c. None of the above d. If the results of a study determine that an intervention did not work, though for reasons not related to the intervention, the 3. study would have...
Control of the internal validity 1: The placebo effect of the internal validity can be cured by random assignment subject to both experimental and control placebo groups(Shader, 2017). 2: History threat can be removed by assigning random subjects to both control and experimental groups. 3: Maturation the third threat to validity can be handled with the help of the control groups of subjects which can change those in experimental groups. Assigning of random subjects can also be used. 4: Repeat...
Below is a description of a fictitious study. Read the description and then answer the factual questions that follow: Brusser and Janosy (20xx) wanted to test the effectiveness of a new relaxation/biofeedback intervention on menopausal symptoms. They invited women who presented themselves in an outpatient clinic with complaints of severe hot flashes to participate in the study of the experimental treatment. These 30 women were asked to record, every day for 2 weeks before their treatment, the frequency and duration...
