The variable you have control over and can manipulate
What is the independent variable?
100
The ethical tenet that states a participant should be fully knowledgeable regarding all risks and benefits associated with study participation.
What is informed consent?
100
A hypothesis the researcher wants to disprove or the hypothesis that would continue the status quo.
What is the null hypothesis?
100
A method of research that involves random sampling, variable manipulation and hypothesis testing.
What is experimental research design?
100
The first step of the research process.
What is identify the problem or question?
200
The variable that is measured.
What is the dependent variable?
200
The protection of identifying information of participants.
What is privacy and confidentiality?
200
What is the average numeric difference from the mean?
What is standard deviation?
200
The collection, analysis and mixing of qualitative and quantitative research methods.
What is a mixed method research deign?
200
Look for similar studies that have been conducted.
What is review the literature?
300
The things that change naturally or through manipulation are generally the independent variable, things that are being measured are the dependent variable.
How do I tell the difference between variables in a complicated research design?
300
The premise of no coercion, bribery or threats and protection of covered entities.
What is voluntary participation?
300
The measure of the distance (how far away or close) to the mean.
What is the variance?
300
A method that generates a theory or model to explain a process, action or interaction and is qualitative in nature.
What is grounded theory?
300
Narrow the scope
What is clarify the problem?
400
An extraneous variable that affects the variables being studied so that the results do not reflect the actual relationship of the variables studied.
What is a confounding variable?
400
No deliberate misleading of participants if it will cause distress to the participant and/or possibly the researcher.
What is deception?
400
A procedure that tests the hypothesis when the population variance is unknown.
What is a t-test?
400
A research design intended to resolve local or specific issues and not intended to be generalized. Information is gathered using both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
What is action research?
400
Determining a collection of individuals with similar characteristics.
What is define the population?
500
A variable that occurs between the dependent and the independent variables that is caused by the independent variable and is itself a cause of the dependent variable.
What is an intervening variable?
500
Participants must be told a general idea of what the study was about and what their role in the research was. Any deception that was deemed necessary must be revealed and explained. The participant should have an opportunity to ask questions and have them answered.
What is debriefing?
500
The results of research show that a difference exists when in reality it does not-a false positive.
What is a Type 1 error?
500
A design in which variables are not manipulated, instead the relationship between variables is examined.
What is a correlational research design?
500
Instruments that may include surveys, questionnaires, observations or literature. These instruments are then studied to determine how they relate to the research process.
