Research and Methodology Sites
http://trochim.cornell.edu/kb/contents.htm
This is an online methodology textbook designed for
undergraduates. Some of the pertinent sites have been pulled out
below for your use, but please take a look at the entire text.
http://trochim.human.cornell.edu/kb/variable.htm
This webpage gives a brief review on what independent and
dependent variables are.
http://trochim.human.cornell.edu/kb/HYPOTHES.HTM
Another brief refresher course on what hypotheses are, including
one-tailed and two-tailed hypotheses.
http://trochim.human.cornell.edu/kb/INTROVAL.HTM
Discusses the idea of validity and touches briefly on the
differences between internal validity, construct validity, and
external validity. For more detalied information, go back to
the
Knowledge Base homepage and look further down in the table of
contents.
http://trochim.human.cornell.edu/kb/EXTERNAL.HTM
This website discusses the concept of external validity in
more depth, threats to external validity, and how to improve external
validity.
http://trochim.human.cornell.edu/kb/intval.htm
This site discusses internal validity in more depth, including
establishing a cause and effect relationship, single group threats,
multiple group threats, and social threats.
http://trochim.human.cornell.edu/kb/reliable.htm
This site provides information on true score theory in measurement,
measurement error, the theory of reliability, types of reliability,
and the relationship between reliability and validity.
http://trochim.human.cornell.edu/kb/statdesc.htm
Descriptive statistics are used to describe the basic features of the
data in a study. They provide simple summaries about the sample and
the measures.
http://trochim.human.cornell.edu/kb/measerr.htm
This website describes how an observed score equals the sum of the
true score plus measurement error and systematic error (bias). It
explains the difference between the two and how to reduce them.
http://gateway1.gmcc.ab.ca/~digdonn/psych104/cor.htm
Psychological studies vary in design. In correlational studies a
researcher looks for associations among naturally occurring
variables, whereas in experimental studies the researcher introduces
a change and then monitors its effects. It is important to be able to
distinguish between correlational and experimental designs, because
only well-controlled experimental designs allow conclusions about
cause and effect.

This website is a tutorial on internal validity and the threats to
internal validity, including selection bias, maturation,
