Categories are elicited from the data and compared with data obtained earlier in the data collection process so that commonalities and variations can be determined
Constant Comparison
100
When things are said to have causes that lead to effects
What is Causality
100
This type of study does not involve any manipulation of variables and is meant to gain a clearer picture of the phenomenon before causality can be established
What is Descriptive Design
100
This refers to measurement values within a sample whose values may be vary; being lower or higher than the average of the population
What is random variation
100
Type of sampling called 'accidental sampling'
What is convenience sampling
200
The process of reading data, breaking text down into sub-parts, and giving a label to that part of the text
Coding
200
When causation is relative rather than absolute
What is Probability
200
This study does not use control groups but instead uses comparison groups
What is Quasi-experimental
200
This is when the difference in subjects of a sample from the population (i.e. the mean) vary in the same direction
What is Systematic variation
200
This type of sampling is used when the researcher knows some of the variables in the population that are critical for achieving representativeness
What is stratified random sampling
300
Textual analysis emphasizes the social and historic influences on qualitative interpretation and exposes hidden meanings
Hermeneutic Circle
300
A study of preoperative teaching, subjects may be randomly selected and then randomly assigned to the experimental or control group is an example of reducing bias and is otherwise known as:
What is Control
300
This type of design focuses on examining causality possessing both a control and experimental group
What is Experimental Design
300
Subjects who decline to participate in the study are calculated using a ________. For example if you have 125 potential subjects but 10 refuse the rate would be _____
What is refusal rate; 8%
300
Strategy that ensures the inclusion of subject types likely to be underrepresented in the convenience sample
What is Quota Sampling
400
Dynamic interaction occurs between the researcher and his or her experience of the data, whether the data are communicated orally or in writing
What is reflexive thought
400
In a study of the effects of preoperative teaching, one group of subjects receives pre-operative teaching and another did not; in this care pre-operative teaching is being:
What is Manipulated
400
The purpose of this type of study examines relationships among variables but does not attempt to control or manipulate the situation
What is Correlational Design
400
The number of subjects who withdraw or are lost from a study is called the ________ rate and if you have 31 out of 155 people withdraw what is the rate
What is attrition rate and 20%
400
This type of sampling is often used with sensitive information and takes advantage of social networks, it is also called network sampling
What is Network Sampling
500
Quantitative analysis of data used to describe the characteristics of the population such as mean, median and age of the population
What is descriptive statistics
500
The adequacy of the sample size is evaluated using:
What is a Power Analysis
500
This design usually involves a small amount of subjects but studies many variables within a single unit
What is Case Study Design
500
Those who decide to enroll in the study are calculated as the _________ rate; and if there are 8 out of 82 subjects then your rate would be _______
What is acceptance rate; 90%
500
This type of sampling is used in qualitative research to develop a selected theory through the research process
