In this research design, you use the literature to introduce the study, describe related literature in a separate section, or compare extant literature with findings.
What is quantitative
100
In this research design, investigators measure the degree of association between two or more variables.
What is correlational
100
A statement that advances the overall direction or focus of the study
What is purpose statement
100
Selection so than any individual has an equal chance of being selected from the populatio
What is simple random sampling
100
A measure of central tendency calculated by arranging all the scores in rank order then finding the score halfway between all the scores.
What is median
200
In this type of study, you use the literature deductively as a basis for advancing research questions or hypotheses.
What is quantitative research.
200
In this research design, investigators seek to describe trends in attitudes or behaviors of a large population.
What is survey design
200
These raise questions to be answered
What is a research question
200
The researcher chooses every nth individual until they research the desired sample size
What is systematic sampling
200
A measure of central tendency calculated by totaling all the scores and dividing that sum by the number of scores.
What is mean
300
In this type of study, you use the literature sparingly in the beginning to convey an inductive design.
What is qualitative
300
In this design, researchers seek to examine a shared cultural group's behaviors, attitudes, or beliefs over a period of time.
What is ethnographic research design
300
These are based on past research or literature and convey our predictions about expectations for the study.
What are hypotheses
300
Researchers divide the population based on a characteristic then used random sampling.
What is stratified sampling
300
A measure of central tendency, this measure calculates the most frequently reported score.
What is mode.
400
In this research design, you use the literature in a way that is consistent with the major strategy utilized and the approach.
What is mixed-methods
400
In this design, researchers seek to explain a process,
action, or interaction among people.
What is grounded theory design
400
These state our goals for the study to accomplish.
What is research objectives
400
The researcher selects participants because they are available and willing to be studied.
What is convenience sampling
400
A measurement of variability, this number indicates the dispersion of scores around the mean.
What is variance
500
The role of the literature review in this type of study differs in that the study is exploratory and not much has been written about the topic or the population being studied.
What is qualitative
500
In this design, qualitative and quantitative data is collected.
What is mixed-methods design
500
True or False: Hypotheses are "educated guesses"
What is FALSE
500
The researcher asks other participants to invite members of the sample.
What is snowballing sampling
500
A measurement of variability, this number is calculated by taking the square root of the variance.
