DISCUSSION

ALBERTO’S DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

2. Budgets are developed months before the end of the current year and are best-guess estimates of future performance. What do you think might be some pitfalls of budgeting, and how can they be avoided?

YENROSE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

1. What are two common reasons to use a factorial design? Describe why Bartholow and Heinz’s word association study on alcohol and thoughts of aggression was a factorial design.

2. Explain why experimenters usually prioritize internal validity over external validity when it is difficult to achieve both.

For each article, work through the four big validities (construct validity, external validity, statistical validity, and internal validity) in turn, indicating whether the article does a good or bad job on each front. As you write, keep in mind that you are demonstrating your mastery of this material. Show that you know how to ask questions about each of the four validities. Demonstrate that you know what the answers to these questions mean. Use the attached “Article Interrogation Guide” to ensure you are investigating the appropriate material for each section.
