The Elaboration Paradigm
1.
2.
A relationship is observed to exist between two variables. A third variable is held constant in the sense that the cases are subdivided according to the attributes of that third variable.

Paul Lazarsfeld and Patricia Kendall used the logic of the elaboration model to present hypothetical tables regarding Samuel Stouffer’s work regarding education and acceptance in the army.
2. _______________ variables are prior in time. A. antecedent B. intervening C. inductive D. deductive
Answer: A

Antecedent variables are prior in time.
Answer: C

A test variable is a variable that is held constant in an attempt to clarify the relationship between two other variables.
Partial Relationship
Elaboration model

A logical model for understanding the relationship between two methods by controlling for the effects of a third.

The Facts of Life about Storks and Babies
Suppressor Variable

In the elaboration model, a test variable that prevents a genuine relationship from appearing at the zero-order level.
Specification

A technical term used in connection with the elaboration model, representing the elaboration outcome in which an initially observed relationship between two variables is replicated among some subgroups created by the control variable but not among others.

In the elaboration model, this the relationship between two variables when examined in a subset of cases defined by a third variable.
Zero-order Relationship
Answer: C

Researchers use the elaboration model to understand the relationship between 2 variables through the simultaneous introduction of additional variables.
Question

____________represents the elaboration outcome in which an initially observed relationship is replicated among some subgroups created by the control variable but not among others. A. multivariation B. interpretation C. specification D. explanation
Antecedent Test Variable
Question

Which of the following is a variable that is held constant in an attempt to clarify the relationship between two other variables? A. a coding scheme B. a causal relationship C. a test variable D. none of these choices
Interpretation

A technical term used in connection with the elaboration model. It represents the research outcome in which a control variable is discovered to be the mediating factor through which an independent variable has its effect on a dependent variable.
Answer: C

Specification represents the elaboration outcome in which an initially observed relationship is replicated among some subgroups created by the control variable but not among others.
Distorter Variable

In the elaboration model, a test variable that reverses the direction of a zero-order relationship.
Ex post facto Hypothesis

A hypothesis created after confirming data have already been collected. It is a meaningless construct because there is no way for it to be disconfirmed.
Question

_________________ is a technical term used in connection with the elaboration model, referring to the elaboration outcome in which the initially observed relationship between two variables persists when a control variable is held constant. A. explanation B. replication C. multiplication D. none of these choices
Explanation

An elaboration model outcome in which the original relationship between two variables is revealed to have been spurious, because the relationship disappears when an intervening test variable is introduced.
Test variable

A variable that is held constant in an attempt to clarify further the relationship between two other variables.
Intervening Test Variable

3.ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ
4.
The original two-variable relationship is recomputed within each of the subgroups. The comparison of the original relationship with the relationships found within each subgroup provides a fuller understanding of the original relationship itself.
Quick Quiz
1. Researchers use the elaboration model to understand the relationship between _________ variables through the simultaneous introduction of additional variables. A. 4 B. 3 C. 2 D. all of these choices
Answer: B

Replication is a technical term used in connection with the elaboration model, referring to the elaboration outcome in which the initially observed relationship between two variables persists when a control variable is held constant.

Introduction The Origins of the Elaboration Model The Elaboration Paradigm Elaboration and Ex Post Facto Hypothesizing

In the elaboration model, this is the original relationship between two variables, with no test variables controlled for.
Replication

A technical term used in connection with the elaboration model, referring to the elaboration outcome in which the initially observed relationship between two variables persists when a control variable is held constant, thereby supporting the idea that the original relationship is genuine.
3. The logic of multivariate relationships is that the __________ variable affects the ___________ variable, which in turn affects the ____________ variable. A. independent; intervening; dependent B. intervening; independent; dependent C. dependent; intervening; independent D. all of these choices
