psychodynamic
humanistic
behavioral
biological
question 2

a psychological study indicates a strong positive correlation between two variables. this means that:
the correlation coefficient is 0.00.
as one variable increases, the other decreases.
one variable causes the other variable to occur.
as one variable increases, the other also increases.
question 3

a __________ design is a type of correlational study in which variables are measured at a single point in time and then observations from this single measurement are compared.
cross - sectional
longitudinal
short - term
latitudinal

Explanation:

• Question 1: Neuroscience studies focus on the biological aspects of the brain and nervous system. The biological approach in psychology emphasizes the role of biological processes (like neural activity) in behavior and mental processes. Psychodynamic focuses on unconscious motives, humanistic on self - actualization, and behavioral on observable behavior and conditioning.
• Question 2: A strong positive correlation means that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase. A correlation coefficient of 0.00 indicates no correlation. Just because there is a correlation does not mean there is causation (so the “one variable causes the other” option is wrong), and an inverse relationship (one increases, the other decreases) is a negative correlation.
• Question 3: A cross - sectional design measures variables at a single point in time. A longitudinal design measures variables over an extended period (usually years). “Short - term” is too vague and not a standard research design term in this context, and “latitudinal” is not a recognized research design term related to this description.

Answer:

• Question 1: Biological
• Question 2: As one variable increases, the other also increases
• Question 3: Cross - sectional
