Sampling
Research Designs
Statistics
Measurement
100
A testable prediction
What is a hypothesis
100
Universe of people to which a study can be applied.
What is a population
100
Natural setting, participant and NOT subject, research is instrument, and immersion in the field.
What is qualitative research
100
The "most frequent"
What is the mode
100
Process of collecting data on the attribute of interest
What is measurement
200
Diligent and systematic inquiry into a subject in order to discover or revise facts, theories, etc.
What is research
200
Eligible members of the population from which the sample will be drawn.
What is the sampling frame
200
Looking at cause and effect in a controlled environment
What is an experimental design
200
The amount the scores differ from the mean
What is the standard deviation
200
Speed, sit and reach, and VO2 max types of outcomes
What is direct observables
300
Primarily used in quantitative research, gives hypothesis first, and answer is found through analysis of numerical data
What is deductive reasoning
300
The type of sampling that is used to increase precision and ensures that all subgroups are represented.
What is stratfied random sampling
300
Whether an experimental treatment/condition makes a difference or not and there is evidence to support it
What is internal validity
300
Could be effected by outliers within the data
What is the mean
300
No true zero starting point, you can take an average, and has equal intervals
What is interval level
400
Knowledge is based on the experience and interpretation of the observer.
What is subjectivity
400
Cheap, easy to conduct, increase access.
What is advantages of convenience sampling
400
Changes in dependent variable due to natural progression of time during a study.
What is maturation
400
A researcher concludes that there is not a relationship between the data where in fact there actually is a relationship.
What is a Type II error
400
Number of minutes estimated for physical activity, work hours, units enrolled, and commute distance
What is ratio level
500
The planning, identifying, designing, collecting of data, and evaluating portion portion of research.
What is the systematic characteristic of research
500
The type of sampling procedure that helps avoid oversampling.
What is snowball sampling
500
Co-variation of cause and effect, temporal precedence, or no plausible alternative explanation
What is causality characteristics
500
If I hand out a survey and want to run a test on the nominal/categorical questions on the survey, I would use this type of test
What is an independent t-test
500
Theoretical creations based on observations such as IQ, motivation, or aggression.
What is constructs
