Type of research design that involves manipulation or control of one or more factors
descriptive research
experimental research
applied research
action research
What is experimental research?
Which statement is incorrect
1. Researcher tries to collect data to support or refute a hypothesis
2. Hypotheses do not have to be proven to be successful
3. Nursing research can only be classified as quantitative

rationale for the study
abstract of the study
study design
What is the rationale (for why the authors are conducting their own study)?
The non-experimental research design that involves surveys, polls, case studies, etc.
quantitative study

TRIPLE JEOPARDY
Identify the 3 types of hypothesis.
nondirectional
directional
simple
obtuse
What are nondirectional, directional, simple
What' the reason for including the research studys Methods section in a research paper?
To list the population or study participants
To identify the theoretical design of the study
to clearly detail how the study was conducted
What is to clearly detail how the study was conducted
The dependent variable is that which is under investigation.
True
False
True. The dependent variable is that which is under investigation.
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
A good hypothesis must:
A. Be proven by empirical data.
B. Serve as a guide for descriptive research.
C. Identify predicted outcomes of the study.
D. State several relationships among variables
What is Identify predicted outcomes of the study.
Regardless of the specific format used to state a hypothesis, the statement includes the variables being studied, the population being studied, and the predicted outcomes.
TRIPLE JEOPARDY
Why is a hypothesis not needed for descriptive research?
Because the primary goal of a descriptive study is to simply describe a phenomenon or population characteristics, without making any predictions or attempting to establish relationships between variables
What is the purpose of the Abstract in a research paper
to restate the study's hypothesis
to explore the study's PICO
to provide a concise summary of the paper
to clearly identify the the study methodology
What is to provide a concise summary of the paper
What are the three types of variables
dependent
extraneous
extemporaneous
independent
numerator
What is extraneous, independent, and dependent?
the independent variable is manipulated to determine effect it has on another variable.
The dependent variable is observed for change after the treatment is applied
Extraneous variable is a characteristic not under investigation but may be relevant to the study
The two variables that go into formulating your research question
dependent variable
Ways of knowing
independent variable
PICOT
What are dependent and independent variables?
which two is not a characteristics, or part of a hypothesis?
Variables to be studied
PICO statement
Study Population
Study Time
Predicted Outcomes
What is PICO statement and Study Time.

What does design validity mean?
The accuracy of measurement instruments
The extent to which the research design accurately answers the research question
The representativeness of the study sample
The stability of study findings over time
The extent to which the research design accurately answers the research question
