Types of Quantitative Research
This type of quantitative research describes and interprets current conditions without manipulating variables.
Descriptive Research
This quality of research means it is based on actual evidence and not personal opinions.
Objectivity
This is the variable that the researcher manipulates in an experiment.
Independent Variable
Variables that can take on any value within a range are called this.
Continuous Variable
The first step in conducting research is identifying this.
Research Problem
This type tests cause-and-effect relationships by manipulating one variable and controlling others.
Experimental Research
This characteristic ensures that the results are consistent when repeated under similar conditions.
Reliability
This is the variable that is measured in an experiment.
This type of variable is based on ranking or order but without consistent differences between
Ordinal
A possible answer to a research problem, stated in a testable form.
Hypothesis
This method studies the relationship between two or more variables without establishing causation.
Correlational Research
This trait ensures that research truly measures what it intends to measure.
Validity
These variables can influence results but are not the main focus of the study.
Extraneous Variable
These variables have equal intervals between values but no true zero point.
Interval Variable
The process of reviewing existing studies to understand what has been done before.
Literature review
This research follows subjects over a period of time to observe changes and developments.
Longitudinal
This means research findings can be generalized to larger populations.
Generalizability
These variables can confuse results because they change alongside the independent variable.
Confounding Variable
These variables have equal intervals and a true zero point, such as weight or height.
Ratio
The plan that describes how research will be conducted, including methods and tools.
Research design
Causal Comparative/ Quasi-experimental
This characteristic ensures that research is free from bias and reflects true findings.
Objective/ Neutral
These variables categorize subjects without a natural order, such as gender or blood type.
Nominal Variable
Variables that take on only whole numbers or distinct values are called this
Discreet Variable
An illustration of the relationship between variables
