Types of Research
This is the type of research that is used to explore and understand human behavior.
What is qualitative research?
This is the value of the probability (which can be translated to a percentage) that the results are by chance. For example, if this equals .05, then there is 5% probability that the results are due to chance.
What is p-value?
This is the section of the research paper which describes the intervention being implemented, as well as the criteria for participant selection.
What is the methods section?
What is internal validity?
A foundational study which establishes the maximal benefits of treatment type establishes this quality of treatment.
What is treatment efficacy?
This is the gold-standard of research designs.
What is an RCT?
This is the measure of the level to which an assessment detects a condition that is present.
What is sensitivity?
This is the section of the research paper which contains the numerical data and statistical outcomes in both narrative form and tables/figures.
What is the results section?
This is the degree to which the outcomes of an assessment correlate to a criterion test.
What is criterion validity?
The implementation of a specific intervention with a specific participant establishes this quality of treatment.
What is treatment effectiveness?
A study comparing a chosen intervention to standard circumstances is an example of this type of research.
What is experimental research?
A homogenous distribution results in this number being small while a heterogenous distribution results in this number being large.
What is standard deviation?
This is the section of the research paper that includes the review of the literature and the rationale and theoretical framework.
What is the introduction section?
What is linguistic bias?
This is the measure of the accuracy of intervention implementation within a study.
What is treatment fidelity?
This type of research is conducted by SLPs in an attempt to provide the best care for their clients.
What is evidence-based practice?
This is the statistical analysis that should be used by a researcher who is comparing several dependent variables.
What is an ANOVA?
This is the section of the research paper that provides a summary of the entire paper.
What is the abstract?
This describes how well an assessment measures the characteristics of a particular disorder, for example.
What is content validity?
This is the measure of treatment efficacy.
What is effect size?
These are the major categories/types of qualitative research.
What are phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, case study, and participatory action research?
These are the type of statistics that are applied to ratio data that demonstrates standard-distribution.
What are parametric statistics?
What is the discussion section?
These are the two factors needed in order to establish good reliability.
What are a high reliability coefficient and a low standard of error?
Use of an assessment that does not include a normative sample from the same cultural background as the client demonstrates this type of bias.
What is cultural bias?
