Types of Research
Research type that is informative & contributes to general knowledge in a field of study
Basic
The principles of right behaviors that are based on values
Ethics
The first stage of conducting a study
State the problem
The reason a methodology should be clear enough
Replicated
Age is this type of variable
Ratio
Research type that directly applies to practice and it is often immediately used
Applied
The primary ethical responsibility in research
Protect the subject
One question we might ask ourselves in order to identify the study we should conduct
How important is the problem? What do we already know? Am I the one that should do this study? Can we use the findings? Am I really interested enough?
The name of an open-ended study design in which the researcher has little prior understanding, and seeks to learn whatever there is to learn; data opens up the researcher to other variables
Exploratory
When my instrument measures the same way every time,it is
Reliable
Research type that the researcher collects
Primary
The type of IRB review involves data that is not anonymous, but includes minimal risk
Expedited review
The types of knowledge that a good study question should yield
New knowledge, effective practice knowledge, disseminatable knowledge, that is helpful to other researchers, feasibly measured, accessible data, ethically produced
The difference between the dependent and independent variables
The independent variables are variables that impact the dependent variable
The definition of concurrent validity
When an instrument measures consistently with other similar instruments
Research type that provides knowledge that enables us to anticipate certain outcomes with reasonable confidence
Predictive
The four main standards of the IRB
Informed consent, protection from risk, study justification, no unnecessary suffering
The best resource for revising your study question
Review of the literature
The two main differences between an experimental and a quasi-experimental design
Control vs comparison group and randomization
The measurement instruments that are supported in research to be valid and reliable
Standard measures
Research type that can be viewed as a process that blends current best evidence, community values and preferences, and agency, societal, and political considerations in order to establish programs and policies that are effective and contextualized
Evidence based practice
The event that led to the creation of the IRB, and its decade
Nuremberg Trials, 1940s
A PICO question stands for
POPULATION of clients, INTERVENTION of concern, What the intervention may be COMPARED to, Hoped for OUTCOMES
The variables that could contribute to change in a study that are not an assumed independent variable
Threats to internal validity (Examples: history, attrition, regression to the mean, maturation, testing, instrumentation, overlap of intervention, acquiescence)
The four ways a researcher can make their own researcher-constructed instrument more reliable
Do a pilot study, increase the number of items, standardize it, add/subtract specific items based on statistical testing
