Levels of Measurement
What level of measurement is this?
Did you receive treatment? (yes/no)
Nominal
What test would you use if you had two continuous (interval/ratio) variables?
Correlation
What is line-by-line open coding?
Reading the transcript line by line and noting parts of the transcript related to the research question (AKA coding)
What level of measurement is this?
Score on a standardized depression screener (scores range from 0 to 14)
Interval/continuous (either answer is correct)
Which test would you use if you had two nominal/ordinal variables?
Chi-square
What is an audit trail?
A way to show readers how you came to your conclusions. Examples include memoing/journaling, or a table with what codes make up your themes.
What level of measurement is this?
Age, but answer choices are 18-24, 25-39, 40-59, and 60 and above.
Ordinal
What test would you use if you had a nominal/ordinal variable with 3 or more categories and a continuous (interval/ratio) variable?
ANOVA
Comparing your codes with each other through analysis to see which are similar enough to group together into themes or subthemes.
What is one example of when reporting the mean wouldn't be appropriate?
If the variable is nominal (and ordinal is on the border), when there are outliers
What test would you run if you had a categorical (i.e., nominal) variable with two categories and an interval/ratio (continuous) variable?
t-Test
What is the difference between inductive and deductive coding?
Inductive: No pre-existing codes before you start analysis
Deductive: Identifying specific codes you are looking for based on the literature before analysis
