This research method involves collecting data in the form of what people "say" and does not use numbers or statistics.
What is Qualitative Research
100
"Gender" is an example of what Level of measurement.
What is Nominal
100
The purpose of this group of statistics is to allow the researcher to summarize/organize data, however it does not allow the researcher to generalize to the population.
What is Descriptive Statistics
100
This type of sampling refers to individuals extracted from an available population
What is Convenience Sampling
100
This research term refers to characteristics or features that are measured in research studies.
What are Variables
200
This research method involves studying risk factors associated with outcomes
What is Cohort Research
200
This level of Measurement ranks and orders data
What is Ordinal
200
The strength of relationship between two variables can be determined by what type of statistical method?
What is Correlational
200
This form of sampling means that chance alone determines who is selected, thus every person in the population has the same chance of being in the sample.
What is Random sampling
200
This research term refers to a change in a participants response or behavior because they are aware they are in a study.
What is The Hawthorne Effect
300
The purpose of this quantitative research method is to describe characteristics or elements of a phenomenon, often in the natural environment.
What is Descriptive Research
300
This is the highest level of measurement, and has a "true zero"
What is Ratio
300
The purpose of this group of statistics is to allow the researcher to generalize from the sample to the population, test hypothesis, perform estimations, and make predictions
What is Inferential Statistics
300
This form of sampling is used when the target population is large and spread out.
What is Cluster Sampling
300
This research term refers to the degree to which a measuring instrument consistently obtains the same or similar measurement values
What is Reliability
400
This research methodology seeks to examine the relationship between variables.
What is Correlational Research
400
Temperature is an example of what type of level of measurement
What is Interval
400
Means, percentages, and cumulative frequencies are an example of what type of statistics.

(ex: page 79)
400
This research term refers to the extent to which the findings in one study sample can be applied to the population
What is Generalizability
500
This research methodology examines cause and effect, but lacks some of the key control features of a true experiment.
What is Quasi-Experimental
500
This is the lowest level of measurement
What is Nominal
500
A statistical conclusion that a difference or association would likely be found in the population
What is Statistical Significance
500
Adequate sample size is determined in an experimental design by this statistical method:
What is Power Analysis
500
The researchers efforts to decrease extraneous variables, prevent bias, and limit variations in the delivery of an intervention, is referred to as:
