Explain/define the following terms/concepts, and how the article exemplifies each of them:
• Population of interest
• Sample of participants (or "subjects")
• Independent variable(s)
• Dependent variable(s)
• Types of study designs
• Internal validity

• External validity
Use headings for each of these topics in the paper.
