Types Of Research and Designs
100
The two words beginning with the letter A stands for _____________.
What are application and analysis?
100
These are variables that influence the outcome of an experiment, though they are not the variables that are actually of interest. These variables are undesirable because they add error to an experiment.
What are extraneous variables?
100
It refers to quality more than quantity. A _______ level of measurement is simply a matter of distinguishing by name, e.g., 1 = male, 2 = female.
What is a nominal measurement?
100
An educated guess; a proposed explanation for a phenomenon.
What is a hypothesis?
100
The ___________ method involves looking at relationships between two or more variables. While researchers can use correlations to see if a relationship exists, the variables themselves are not under the control of the researchers.
What is correlational research?
200
Without __________, knowledge is not being utilized appropriately.
What is comprehension?
200
The variable that the researcher manipulates in experiments involving causation.
What is an independent variable (IV)?
200
Provide information about order, and also possess equal ____________.
What is an interval scale?
200
This is the type of hypothesis the researcher always tests.
What is the null hypothesis?
200
It is a type of primary research which involves seeking out and extracting evidence from original pre-existing records.
What is archival research?
300
It is extremely important that researchers ____________ previous literature in order to ensure that the previous studies related to their research have reliability and validity?
What is analysis?
300
__________ variables that vary with the levels of the IV are the most dangerous type in terms of challenging the validity of experimental results.
What are confounding variables?
300
It has an absolute zero (a point where none of the quality being measured exists).
What is an interval scale of measurement?
300
It allots half of your alpha to testing the statistical significance in one direction and half of your alpha to testing statistical significance in the other direction.
What is a two-tailed hypothesis?
300
A _____________ design is one that looks a bit like an experimental design but lacks the key ingredient -- random assignment.
What is a quasi-experimental research design?
400
You were required to this this with your literature review with the pertinent information of your literature review conclusion.
What is synthesis?
400
The variable of measurement.
What is the dependent variable?
400
It indicates direction and provides nominal information. For instance, Low/Medium/High; or Faster/Slower
What is an ordinal scale of measurement?
400
It allots all of your alpha to testing the statistical significance in the one direction of interest.
What is a one-tailed hypothesis?
400
In a quasi-experimental design, the research substitutes statistical "controls" for the absence of physical control of the experimental situation. The most common quasi-experimental design is the Comparison Group Pre-test/Post-test.
What is the before and after research design.
500
You have inferred _____________ of the previous research design to be effective in your research proposal.
What is application?
500
The presumed effect in a non-experimental study. It is used to describe a dependent variable in correlational research.
What is a criterion variable?
500
Mean, mode, percentage.
What is a descriptive measure?
500
A non-directional hypothesis is a _______-tailed. A directional hypothesis is a _______-tailed.
What are one-tailed and two-tailed hypotheses, respectively?
500
The defining feature of __________ ___________ research designs is that each participant or sample is observed multiple times, and its performance is compared to its own prior performance. In other words, each participant or population serves as its own control.
What is the time series research design?
