Classification Types
Design Objectives
This and That
100
This describes a phenomenon for a specific purpose.
What is descriptive research?
100
Which of the design objectives explores a phenomenon in depth in order to gain more knowledge on it?
What is exploration?
100
Which classification type was excluded simply because all research was this in its nature?
What is exploratory research?
200
This describes AND quantifies variables and relates them to each other.
What is Quantitative-Descriptive?
200
Which of these develops an instrument, scale, inventory, or other way of measuring a phenomenon and tests its utility for others?
What is instrument/development scale?
200
What was the article's classification type?
What is quantitative-descriptive?
300
This tests the relationship between independent and dependent variables. It also has four criteria, and all must be met in order for research to fall under this category.
What is experimental research?
300
This tests relationships between variables for determining how they impact, associate, predict, or influence each other.
What are variable relationships?
300
What is a design objective?
What the overall design of the study actually trying to achieve?
400
This has the same purpose as experimental research, however not all of the criteria must be met.
What is quasi-experimental research?
400
This design objective assesses the impact of a specific program or intervention by determining its activities or outcomes.
What is evaluation research?
400
What was the design objective of the article?
What is variable relationships?
500
What are all four classification types in quantitative social research?
What are descriptive, quantitative-descriptive, experimental, and quasi-experimental research.
500
What are all four design objectives??
What are exploration, instrument/development scale, variable relationships, and evaluation research?
500
What are the four criteria that must be met in order for a study to be classified as experimental?
Randomization, A manipulated treatment condition, a comparison or control group who does not receive any treatment condition, and specification of hypotheses
