Question 1

Which of the following is true according to guidelines for reporting social identity information in research reports?&#10;A) The terms sex and gender are interchangeable.&#10;B) The terms sexual orientation and sexual behavior are interchangeable.&#10;C) Refer to people as disabled and use handicap to refer to the nature of the limitations, not the person.&#10;D) The terms transsexual and transgendered are interchangeable.&#10;E) The terms race and ethnicity are interchangeable.

Accepted Answer

The correct choice is to avoid using terms that define individuals solely by their condition or limitations. Modern guidelines emphasize using person-first language, such as "people with disabilities," rather than defining people by their disabilities. This approach respects the individuality and dignity of all persons, focusing on the person before their condition. The other options (A, B, D, E) misrepresent current guidelines on reporting social identity information, which stress the importance of precision and respect in language to avoid conflating distinct concepts or perpetuating stereotypes.

Question 2

Which of the following is the statistical designation for statistical significance?&#10;A) SD&#10;B) M&#10;C) p&#10;D) N&#10;E) t

Accepted Answer

The statistical designation for statistical significance is represented by "p," which stands for the p-value. This value helps determine whether the observed data would be very unlikely to occur by random chance, thus indicating statistical significance.

Question 3

Which of the following is a characteristic of social science writing?&#10;A) Shorter paragraphs&#10;B) Passive, rather than active, voice&#10;C) Constructing evidence from data rather than reasoning&#10;D) All of the above&#10;E) None of the above

Accepted Answer

Social science writing often involves shorter paragraphs for clarity, uses passive voice to focus on the research rather than the researcher, and constructs evidence from data to support arguments.

Question 4

Which of the following is the statistical designation for standard deviation?&#10;A) SD&#10;B) M&#10;C) F&#10;D) t&#10;E) N

Accepted Answer

SD stands for Standard Deviation, which is a measure of the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values.

Question 5

Guidelines for poster presentations include which of the following recommendations?&#10;A) For experimental or survey research, organize the poster like a set of PowerPoint slides&#10;B) Avoid visual and graphic information.&#10;C) For quantitative studies, include abstract, method, data, results, and conclusion.&#10;D) Font and text size should be same as for a research paper.

Accepted Answer

For quantitative studies, it is recommended to include sections such as abstract, method, data, results, and conclusion to clearly convey the research findings.

Question 6

What is the correct order for formatting a social science research article?&#10;A) Literature review, method, results, abstract&#10;B) Abstract, introduction, method, results, conclusion&#10;C) Introduction, discussion, method, results&#10;D) Abstract method discussion

Accepted Answer

The correct order for formatting a social science research article typically follows the structure: Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results, and Conclusion. This format helps in presenting the research in a clear and logical sequence.

Question 7

Guidelines for PowerPoint presentations include which of the following recommendations?&#10;A) The more visuals the better&#10;B) Do not read the long passages on your slides; your audience can read while you talk about something else&#10;C) Put all of your information on your slides so you can read to the audience&#10;D) Use effects like color and flying bullet points in moderation&#10;E) All of the above.

Accepted Answer

Using effects like color and flying bullet points in moderation is recommended to enhance the presentation without distracting the audience. Overuse of visuals, reading long passages from slides, and overcrowding slides with information can detract from the effectiveness of the presentation.
