Ways of Knowing
This is the term that defines how we know/explain phenomena in the world.
Epistemology
This organizational method is used when forming a meaningful RQ
PICO
High in internal validity, this research design allows the researcher to manipulate the IV and use standardized instructions
Experimental design
Another word for outcome, this variable should not be manipulated by the researcher
Dependent variable (DV)
This is considered that difference between the largest and smallest data points
Range
Quantitative research is know to use which research paradigm?
Functionalist (objective view)
Determining a study's reliability, validity and applicability to the clients needs and current research defines what step of the EBP process.
3rd: critically appraising the evidence
When collecting data, having the participant change their answer to best suite the researchers needs because the participant is aware they are being observed describes this threat to Internal and External validity
Hawthorne effect
The difference RQ uses these two variables and this descriptive Stat?
1 Categorical (IV) 1 Continuous (DV)
Column chart.
A P-value >.05 would be considered
Not significant
Part of the Scientific Method, this represents the use of precise theories and concepts that can be scrutinized and are testable.
Answer: Precision & Falsifiability
Others to know: Empirical, Replicability, Logical & Systematic
The three aspects of EBP include:
1. High quality clinical research
2. Patients preferences
3. Pt's practice knowledge and expertise
To increase the internal validity of a research design, we can...
Control all variables, make sure IV is causing the DV/Outcome, standardize instructions, counter balance, random sample
Determine the DV and IV from this hypothesis:
Female students will show a higher stress level within the last 7 days compared to male students
DV= Stress level
IV= Male vs Female
A regression stats test is run for which RQ/Hypothesis and tell us what information?
Relationship Hy/RQ
Strength, Direction, and P-value (significance)
This way of knowing uses information/experiences you received from different aspects of your life to create a sensible reasoning to come up with a decision.
Intuition
Need to know: Logic/reason, authority, Sci method, observation
Personal involvement with a specific study/theory is defined as ________, which harms internal validity of a study.
Confirmation Bias
Regarding the internal and external validity continuum, the class survey would have these levels of validity
External: High
Internal: Low
The tendency for data to cluster around the mean within +/- 1 SD is defined as
Small Standard Deviation
A multiple R value of .85 shows
A strong relationship between continuous variables.
This philosophy or paradigm describes viewing the world thorough an empirical lens.
Hint: People that uses this lens are considered realists.
Positivist Paradigm
The Smith et al. article defined this type of relationship between HIIT and VO2 max/ aerobic capacity
Direct/Positive
This type of research design allows for every participant to receive the same treatment at the same time
Within subject design
Considered a continuous variable, this variable has a 0 point and is measured using the mean
Ratio variable
If we receive a P-value of .05034, what can we determine about the Null hypothesis?
Our hypothesis is valid and we reject the Null
Evidence collected supports our hypothesis
