What is a design where one may have no control or no alternate treatment group. It may be impossible to assign participants randomly?
What is a quasi-experimental design?
100
This measures how successful we are at minimizing the error.
What is reliability?
100
What is a type of research that reconstructs the past to understand past events?
What is Historical Research?
100
What is a design that mixes quantitative data with qualitative data?
What is mixed method?
100
What is a case study that examines an intrinsic, unusual case?
What is a intrinsic case study?
200
What is a design that has two or more independent variables?
What is a multi-factor design?
200
What are variables that the researcher tries to control in order to avoid any influence in selection or assignment of participants, procedures, statistics, or design that may affect the outcome?
What are Extraneous Variables?
200
What is a design that describes the relationships among variables?
What is correlational design?
200
What is a research design that can focus on sequence of behaviors over time, disease progression and longitudinal studies?
What is developmental design?
200
What is the type of research that involves collecting stories, reporting experiences, discussing meaning of experiences for the individual?
What is narrative research?
300
What is a design where there is a split group and one group experiences one treatment first, while other group receives alternate treatment first?
What is Cross-Over Design?
300
This is a threat to the treatment construct validity in intervention studies, in which comparison groups not obtaining the preferred treatment are provided with compensations that make the comparison groups more equal than originally planned.
What is Compensatory equalization?
300
What is a design where accuracy, and credibility of data are in question because researcher had no control over their collection?
What is retrospective/prospective design?
300
What is a study that is often used to determine eligibility for service? For example, obtaining early intervention services in NY State.
What are normative studies?
300
What is a type of case study that provides insight into an issue or theme?
What is a instrumental case study?
400
What is a design where participants act as their own control? They are measured before a treatment and following the treatment.
What is Within-Subjects Design?
400
Participants frequently drop out of experiments whilst they are taking place/before they finish; sometimes due to death, no longer willing to take part or moving. This is known as
What is Experimental mortality?
400
What is a design that studies a stratified group of subjects at one point in time and compares characteristics of strata to each other?
What is cross-sectional design?
400
What is a design that collects information about a specific group to describe characteristics?
What are descriptive surveys?
400
What is the form of research design where the main idea is that no one can understand the experience other than the individual under study?
What is phenomenology?
500
What are three threats to experimental research designs?
What are Statistical Conclusion Validity, Construct Validity, External Validity, Internal Validity?
500
This can be a threat to internal validity because the scores of individuals on the dependent variable may not only be the due to the natural performance of those individuals, but also measurement errors. When these scores are particularly high or low, there is a tendency for these scores to regress towards the mean.
What is Statistical Regression?
500
What is a research method where the advantages are that it is low cost, but the disadvantage is that there is a lack of control?
What is secondary analysis?
500
What is a study where the limitations are that it is not rigorous, there is limited control, and it is difficult to generalize?
What are case studies?
500
What are three characteristics of Ethnographic Design?
*An exploration of cultural themes drawn from cultural anthropology *A study of a culture-sharing group *Examination of shared patterns of behavior, belief, and language *A collection of data from field experiences *Description and analysis of themes about the culture sharing group *A presentation of description, themes, and interpretation within context *Reflexivity by researcher about his/her impact on the site or group
