Types
It is the most rigid form of experimental research design.
What is true experimental research design?
A type of observational research that analyzes data from a population at a specific point in time.
What is cross-sectional study?
It is a variable that can be manipulated or controlled.
What is independent variable?
It is the variable that changes as a result of the other variable.
What is dependent variable?
It is a type of measurement variable that takes values with an order or rank.
What is ordinal variable?
This type of research answers the questions who, what, when, where, and how in relation to the research problem.
What is descriptive/survey research design?
A research method that involves observing and collecting data on the same subjects repeatedly over an extended period?
What is longitudinal study?
This is type of environment where experimental research is conducted.
What is controlled environment?
Discrete variables are countable in a _____ amount of time.
What is finite?
It is a type of variable that is used to name, label or categorize particular attributes that are being measured.
What is nominal variable?
This type of research explores the association between two or more quantifiable variables in a single group using statistical analysis.
What is correlational research design?
In this longitudinal survey, the same set of questions or measurements is administered to the participants at multiple points in time
What is panel study?
It is considered by many to be the most accurate form of experimental research design.
What is true experimental research?
It is a type of variable that can only take on specific, separate values, often integers, and cannot be further divided into smaller parts.
What is discrete variable?
It is used to measure the variables, which not only shows the order but also shows the exact difference in the value.
What is interval scale?
A statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between two variables.
What is correlation coefficient?
The key difference between (two longitudinal survey designs) is that unlike in the other, the same _____ are used throughout, in this study.
What is participant/respondent?
This design has no random assignment of subjects to the treatment group and control group, and a pretest is not administered before the experiment stage.
What is static group comparison?
It is a type of quantitative variable that can take on any value within a certain range or interval.
What is continuous variable?
This is a temperature where there is no motion and no heat.
What is absolute zero value?
A research design that follow a group of individuals over time who share common characteristics or exposure?
What is Solomon four-group design?
This type of longitudianl study can be prospective (looks into the future) or _______ (looks back at historical data).
What is retrospective?
It is a statistical method used to determine if there's enough evidence in a sample data to draw conclusions about a population.
What is hypothesis testing?
How many possible values between any two given values take for a continuous variable.
What is infinite number?
0 Kelvin (0 K) is the lowest possible temperature, known as absolute zero.
What is an example of an interval variable?
