    Based on the description above, the following analyses can be made:

    1. Clarissa's concern is addressing t he study's construct validity

    2. Quinn's concern is addressing the study's external validity

    3. Manish's concern is addressing the study’s statistical validity

    In addition, you may be asked, for what it means if Anton is concerned that the researcher made a Type I error. The answer to that would be that the researcher concluded there was a relationship between bullying and self-esteem, whereas there is really no relationship.

    Based on the description, it seems that the researcher concluded there was a relationship between bullying and self-esteem, when there wasn't one.

    This is referred to as a Type 1 error (a false positive), where a researcher

    claims that there is a significant relationship between two variables, when in fact there isn't a significant relationship between them. Anton, Clarissa, Quinn and Manish, all raise doubts about the supposed claim that "middle school students who are bullied have low-self esteem".
