Strategies
The goal of this strategy is to describe individual variables that exist naturally.
Descriptive Research Strategy
The three types of Descriptive research are:
Observational Research Design
Survey Research Design
Case Study Design
A sample with characteristics that are different from those of the population is a
This strategy has the most control of all strategies.
Experimental Research Strategy
This research design involves observing participants in a natural setting with no interaction or manipulation.
Naturalistic Observation Design
How well a research study produces one clear answer to explain the relationship between variables is
Internal Validity
The main focus of this strategy is to define the relationship between two variables that occur naturally.
Correlational Research Strategy
Research that focus on one individual in depth, but may be more biased is...
Case Study Design
Knowing the entire population and being able to assign a number to each member of the population allows you to use a
Probability Sampling method
This strategy examines the relationship between two variables that exist naturally using two sets of scores.
The idea of allowing participants to become accustomed to the researcher through repeated exposure is called...
Habituation
Convenience and Quota Sampling are both ____________ sampling methods.
Nonprobability
The only strategy that can demonstrate a cause-and-effect relationship between variables.
Experimental Research Strategy
Open-ended questions, telephone interviews or rating-scale questions are different types of
Survey Design
The extent to which we can generalize the results of research to others is called...
External Validity
