| Term | Definition |
| Concordant pair | a pair of cases in which one member of the pair is higher than the other member on both variables. |
| Confidence interval | A confidence interval identifies a range of values that includes the true population value of a particular characteristic at a specified probability level (usually 95%). |
| Confidence Levels and Confidence Interva | a range of values around the point estimate (a statistic value) for a population that express the degree we are confident that the point estimate accurately reflects the population parameter e.g. common confidence 90%, 95%,and 99% and one would say that we are 95% confident that the population mean lies between plus or minus 7.5% points of the observed statistic value. |
| Confounding variabel | A variable, other than the variable(s) under investigation, which is not controlled for and which may distort the results of experimental research. |
| Connotation | The deep and cultural meaning of a word ('tree' as 'strength', 'oak' as 'Englishness'). |
| Constant comparative method | A procedure used during grounded theory research whereby newly gathered data are continually compared with previously collected data in order to refine the development of theoretical categories. |
| Construct (noun) | A variable in a theory. Sometimes carries the connotation of something that cannot be observed directly, or which we suppose to exist but has not been measured yet. Similar in this sense to a latent variable. Intelligence is a construct that is used to explain competence. |
| Construct validity | refers to the degree to which a research instrument measures a theoretical concept (or construct) under investigation. |
| Constructionism | We understand the world through internal constructs. |
| Content analysis | A procedure for organising narrative, qualitative data into emerging themes and concepts. |
| Content validity | is similar to face validity except that the researcher deliberately targets individuals acknowledged to be experts in the topic area to give their opinions on the validity of the measure. |
| Contingency table | (same as crosstabulation). |
| Continuous variable | A variable that can take on an infinite range of values along a specific continuum (e.g. weight, height). |
| Control | Processes employed to hold the conditions under which an investigation is carried out uniform or constant. In a true experimental design, the control group is the group that does not receive the intervention or treatment under investigation. The scores on the dependent variable for the control and the experimental groups are used to evaluate the effect of the independent variable. In other experimental designs, this group may be referred to as the comparison group. |
| Control variable | The variable that is held constant in a three-variable table (same as test variable). |

Knossos dalah kota antik yang megah di Pulau Kreta (Yunani). Di sini terdapat istana raja Minos (sekitar 1900 tahun SM). Uniknya istana bertingkat empat ini berbentuk labyrinth, yang menyesatkan dan memenjarakan. Kata unani “Libyrinth” artinya sistem jalan masuk, jalan keluar dan jalan mengelilinginya merupakan sebuah teka-teki yang sangat pelik. Dari kota Knossos inilah model Libyrinth tersebar ke seluruh Eropa dan bagian dunia yang lain. |
