provides a quantitative or numeric description of trends, attitudes, or opinions of a population by studying a sample of that population.
What is a survey research?
100
State the size of the population by the number of individuals or from published lists.
How do you identify the population in the study?
100
To generalize from a sample of a population so inferences can be made about characteristics, attitudes or behaviors.
What is the purpose of a survey research?
100
A characteristic that can be measured or observed and that varies among the people or organization being studied.
What is a variable?
200
Whether one can draw meaningful and useful inferences from scores on the instruments.
What is validity?
200
Single staged sampling is where the researcher can sample the people directly.?
Multi-staged is where the researcher first identifies groups then names within the group.
How do you identify whether the sampling design is single or multi-staged?
200
Discuss advantages of identifying attributes of a large group of population from a small group of individuals.
How do you indicate a survey is the preferred survey type of data collection?
200
Variables that cause, influence, or affects outcomes.
What is an independent variable?
300
Refers to whether scores to items are internally consistent.
What is reliability?
300
A random sample.
How can you identify the selection process for individuals?
300
1. Self Administered questionnaires
2. Interviews
3. Collect financial or medical or school information
4. Structured observations
What are the four types of data collection?
300
Variables that depend on the independent variable. They are the outcomes of the influence of the independent variable.
What is a dependent variable?
400
A procedure in which participants with certain traits are matched and then randomly assigned to control experimental groups.
What is matching participants?
400
Choose individuals using a random numbers table.
How do you select the sample from available lists?
400
Testing a treatment on a outcome controlling on all other outcomes that might influence that outcome.
What is a experimental design?
400
Variables that stand in between the independent and dependent variables. They mediate the effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable.
What are mediating variables?
500
A procedure used in quantitative research for selecting participants each individual has a equal probability in being selected from the population, reflecting a true representation.
What is random sampling?
500
Use a sample size formula available in many survey texts.
How do you indicate the number of people in a sample?
500
Cross-sectional- data collected at one point in time.
Longitudinal- data collected overtime.
What is cross-sectional and a longitudinal outcome?
500
They are new variables constructed by a researcher and multiplying it by another to get a joint impact.
