100
These are the four scales of measurement.
What are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio?
100
This type of hypothesis is a continuation of the status quo.
What is the null hypothesis?
100
The intervention in an experimental design is an example of this type of variable.
What is an independent variable?
100
This qualitative design is likely to have the fewest number of research subjects, sometimes just one.
What is narrative design?
100
This statement narrows the focus of a study.
What is a purpose statement?
200
We know the raw score, but we need these two values to convert it to a z-score.
What are standard deviation and mean?
200
A p-value of .05 means a study accepts a 5% chance of committing this type of error.
What is a type 1 error?
200
This type of survey studies characteristics of the sample group over time.
What is a longitudinal study?
200
Coded data is ultimately reduced into these, also called categories.
What are themes?
200
Variables may be measured as categories or they may be measured in this way.
What is continuous?
300
This percentage of scores will fall at or between 1 standard deviation above or below the mean on a normal curve.
What is 68.26?
300
Parametric tests, such as a t-test, are used with these two types of data.
What are interval and ratio?
300
This relationship occurs when high scores on one variable relate to low scores on another.
What is a negative linear relationship?
300
This is the point at which major themes have been identified and researchers decide new data will not provide new information or insight.
What is saturation?
300
This figure displays the research literature on a topic.
What is a literature map?
400
This value can be used to indicate what percentage of a variation in one variable can be explained by variation in the other.
What is the coefficient of determination?
400
This type of hypothesis may also be described as "directional."
What is a one-tailed hypothesis?
400
This type of quantitative design may use a Likert-type scale when collecting data.
What is survey design?
400
The three main forms of validation for qualitative studies discussed in the text are member checking, external audit, and this one.
What is triangulation?
400
This is the type of research problem that would be addressed if a study begins because of a gap or conflicting evidence in the literature.
What is a research-based research problem?
500
This value is determined by solving: SD√1-r.
What is the SEM (Standard Error of Measurement)?
500
The formula: ∑ (0-E)2/E is used to calculate this statistical value used for nominal and ordinal data.
What is Chi-square?
500
A multiple baseline is a form of this quantitative design reserved for single subject research.
What is experimental design?
500
These labels for themes or categories are phrased in the exact words of the participants.
What are in vivo codes?
500
This mixed method design examines a problem through a series of separate studies.
What is multiphase design?
