Description
Description
Most questions ask you to apply an idea, not recall it
This test bank for the 10th edition of Social Psychology by DeLamater, Collett and Hitlin has 420 multiple choice practice questions across all 17 chapters. The file gives every question a Bloom’s level, and 343 of them are labelled Apply or Analyze. In practice that means short situations to work through, such as a hiring study or a student group deciding whose lead to follow, where you pick the concept or perspective that explains what is going on. Each question comes with its answer letter and a difficulty rating. There are no written explanations, so when you miss one, the chapter is where you find out why.

1. A pilot study finds that participants’ monthly reports of gym attendance exceed the visits recorded by facility entry systems. Researchers want to reduce reliance on memory while capturing changes in exercise activities and their context throughout the day. Which design best meets both objectives?
- A. An event-contingent diary in which participants record activities and context shortly after each activity begins or ends.
- B. A weekly panel survey in which participants reconstruct their exercise activities over the preceding seven days.
- C. A daily diary completed at bedtime in which participants estimate their total exercise time for that day.
- D. A retrospective interview in which participants use facility entry records to reconstruct their usual exercise routines.
Answer: A. An event-contingent diary in which participants record activities and context shortly after each activity begins or ends.
2. Four research teams propose studies of whether feedback improves learning. Which proposal meets the defining requirements of a true between-subjects experiment?
- A. Randomly sample students, record the feedback they normally receive, and compare their subsequent test scores.
- B. Randomly assign students to researcher-controlled feedback conditions, keep learning tasks comparable, and measure subsequent performance.
- C. Allow students to select a feedback condition, then match the groups on prior achievement before comparing performance.
- D. Introduce a new feedback system for one incoming class and compare its performance with that of the previous class.
Answer: B. Randomly assign students to researcher-controlled feedback conditions, keep learning tasks comparable, and measure subsequent performance.
3. Researchers conduct an audit experiment by sending equivalent job applications to real vacancies, randomly varying a name that signals perceived group membership. Employers do not know that the applications are part of a study. What is the principal analytical advantage of this design?
- A. It identifies which application features unsuccessful candidates believe caused their rejection.
- B. It establishes whether unequal treatment continues throughout applicants’ subsequent careers.
- C. It estimates the effect of the randomly varied identity cue on employers’ actual recruitment responses.
- D. It distinguishes deliberate prejudice from biases of which employers themselves are unaware.
Answer: C. It estimates the effect of the randomly varied identity cue on employers’ actual recruitment responses.

4. A computer-administered laboratory study uses identical instructions and involves no direct interaction with researchers. Nevertheless, participants infer the expected result from cues in the room and adjust their answers accordingly. Which diagnosis and response best address the problem?
- A. Experimenter expectancy effects; keep the researchers who administer the study unaware of treatment assignments.
- B. Evaluation apprehension; strengthen assurances that individual responses will remain confidential.
- C. Manipulation failure; check whether participants noticed the intended experimental stimulus.
- D. Subject expectancy effects; use an ethically approved cover story with appropriate subsequent debriefing.
Answer: D. Subject expectancy effects; use an ethically approved cover story with appropriate subsequent debriefing.
5. A researcher obtains permission to study a closed mutual-aid group whose members negotiate responsibilities while performing shared tasks. Access requires contributing to those activities, and the researcher wants to observe how obligations are negotiated as events unfold. Which approach best fits these conditions?
- A. Participant observation involving routine contributions and systematic field notes.
- B. Non-participant observation conducted from outside the group’s shared activities.
- C. Repeated interviews asking members to reconstruct how responsibilities were allocated.
- D. A field experiment assigning members different responsibilities and comparing their responses.
Answer: A. Participant observation involving routine contributions and systematic field notes.
6. A consent form explains a study’s purpose, procedures, foreseeable risks, expected benefits, confidentiality protections, and researcher contact details. However, it states that signing commits participants to completing every session, and recruitment staff provide no opportunity for questions. Which revision addresses the substantive consent problems?
- A. Disclose the exact hypothesis and explain why completing every session is important to the study’s validity.
- B. Provide opportunities for questions and explain that participation is voluntary, including withdrawal without penalty.
- C. Add the planned statistical analyses and require participants to confirm that they understand the research design.
- D. Have an independent witness verify each signature and provide participants with a copy of the signed agreement.
Answer: B. Provide opportunities for questions and explain that participation is voluntary, including withdrawal without penalty.
7. A team plans a structured, deductive content analysis of newspaper coverage using predefined theoretical concepts. It has selected the articles but has not decided whether to code whole articles, paragraphs, or individual quotations. Which sequence provides the most defensible workflow for the main analysis?
- A. Develop coding categories → code the material → select the unit of analysis → examine relationships.
- B. Select the unit of analysis → code the full dataset → develop coding categories → examine relationships.
- C. Select the unit of analysis → develop coding categories → examine relationships → code the full dataset.
- D. Select the unit of analysis → develop and pilot coding categories → code the full dataset → examine relationships.
Answer: D. Select the unit of analysis → develop and pilot coding categories → code the full dataset → examine relationships.
8. Thirty studies evaluate the same educational intervention, but their sample sizes and estimated effects differ. A reviewer wants an overall estimate of the intervention’s effect while accounting for study precision and variation between studies. Which approach best meets this objective?
- A. Count how many studies report statistically significant results and adopt the majority conclusion.
- B. Compare the authors’ explanations and organise their conclusions into recurring qualitative themes.
- C. Conduct a meta-analysis that combines comparable effect estimates using appropriate weights and examines heterogeneity.
- D. Select the study with the largest sample and treat its estimate as the conclusion of the entire evidence base.
Answer: C. Conduct a meta-analysis that combines comparable effect estimates using appropriate weights and examines heterogeneity.
9. Researchers obtain consent for a sexual-behaviour survey and plan to publish only aggregate findings. During fieldwork, however, names and sensitive responses are stored together in unencrypted files on portable devices. Which revision most directly addresses the remaining confidentiality risk?
- A. Expand the consent form’s explanation of how accidental disclosure might affect participants.
- B. Suppress small categories in published tables so readers cannot infer individual responses.
- C. Conduct interviews in private rooms and remind fieldworkers not to discuss participants’ answers.
- D. Replace names with coded identifiers, secure the linkage key separately, and encrypt storage with restricted access.
Answer: D. Replace names with coded identifiers, secure the linkage key separately, and encrypt storage with restricted access.
10. A proposed interview study could produce valuable knowledge but may cause psychological distress and expose sensitive personal information. Participants are unlikely to receive direct benefits. Which response best reflects the review board’s responsibility?
- A. Approve the study on the strength of its scientific contribution and leave safeguards to the researchers’ discretion.
- B. Assess the risks only against direct benefits to participants, excluding the value of the knowledge produced.
- C. Require risks to be minimised and judge whether remaining risks are reasonable relative to anticipated benefits and the knowledge expected.
- D. Accept the proposed risks once researchers disclose them fully and participants indicate their willingness to proceed.
Answer: C. Require risks to be minimised and judge whether remaining risks are reasonable relative to anticipated benefits and the knowledge expected.
