Question Paper - Psychology

This document outlines the content covered in a quantitative techniques course for psychology students. It includes key terms like measurement, validity, hypothesis, sampling, and quantitative variables. Students are asked questions testing their understanding of these concepts, as well as statistics, tests, scales, and research design and analysis techniques like descriptive research, normal distribution, reliability, skewness, kurtosis, experimental variables, control techniques, and ANOVA. Students must answer multiple choice and short answer questions demonstrating comprehension of measurement, test construction, validity estimation, experimental planning, and statistical analyses.
