Bb = Blackboard. Find the article in the "Required Readings" folder on Bb. 



Exam:
*You are responsible for knowing all of the highlighted text and the correlations for any finding marked with a red box. Know the correlations withing +/- .20 (e.g., know that a correlation of r = .33 is somewhere between .13 and .53). 

Pop Quiz Hints:
*What were some of the examples of research findings with "small" correlations and some with "large" correlations?
*Although larger correlations are generally more important, what are some exceptions? Were there any large correlations that were unimpressive? Any small correlations that were impressive?
*Why would it be important for a psychology student to read and understand an article like this? (If you struggle with this, think of why it would be important for a chef to understand the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon, why an economist should have an idea of variations in per capita GDP across countries, or why a physics student should know the difference between 1mm and 1km). 
*How does the validity of psychological tests compare to the validity of medical tests?
*Although you're responsible for all correlations marked in red for the exam, make sure to know these for a pop quiz: Table 1 (1, 23, 37, 50, 57) and Table 2 (4, 22, 66, 88, 137)
