This set of principles followed the Nuremburg Code
What is the Belmont Report?
These studies that include a sufficient number of research participants from minority and oppressed populations are said to be...
What is representative?
Narrows focus of research problem, drives development of research study, and leads to beneficial changes in the way we think about/address the problem
What is the research question?
Mental image that symbolizes idea, event, person, etc.; cant also be called "variable"
What is a concept?
comparisons between definitions of a concept and the actual items that make up an instrument
What is face validity?
The term for consent forms given to research subjects who are children
What is assent form?
Processes by which individuals and systems respond respectfully and effectively to all people.
What is cultural competency in practice?
This is oftentimes the source of a research topic
What is "gap" in knowledge?
Alternative explanations for the relationship between IV and DV; control for these variables in research studies to minimize their impact on the IV and DV
What are extraneous variables?
determining the extent to which a measurement instrument covers the full range of meaning underlying a concept
What is content validity?
The benefits or risks of the research must be distributed fairly
What is the principle of justice?
The use of engaging community members and conducting a literature review, for example.
What is strategies for developing cultural competency in research?
Collecting and analyzing information about a programs activities, characteristics, and outcomes in order to systematically assess it’s worth of time, money, effort and resources spent to achieve goals
What is program evaluation research?
Involves developing scientific measurements that will result in empirical observations of things that represent concepts in the real world; it sets the stage for how concepts will be observed and how data will be collected in the real world
What is operationalizing?
the idea that a reliable measure should not change much from one administration to the next, assuming that the concept being measured has not changed
What is stability approach?
The level of IRB review that involves only minimal risk
What is cultural competency in research?
This is the point at which the researcher should conduct a literature review
What is before sharpening the research question?
These variables can affect the strength or direction of a relationship between the IV and DV; changes the nature of the relationship
What are moderating variables?
Constructing two separate but equivalent measurement tools, administering them to the same set of individuals, and assessing the extent to which the two measures are correlated (.70 and above)
What is parallel forms reliability?
The three principles of the Belmont Report
In this area of culturally competent research, the researcher avoids minority-majority between group comparisons and instead utilizes within group comparisons.
What is data analysis and interpretation?
In this type of research study question, there is no dependent or independent variable
What is descriptive?
These variables help identify e underlying mechanisms by which the IV affects the DV; acts as a medium or intervenes between two variables
What are mediating variables?
1. Reliability
2. Validity
3. Feasibility
4. Sensitivity
5. Cultural sensitivity
6. Sample characteristics
What are 6 key considerations for critically appraising and selecting standardized measurement?
