Name that method
This research method collects both qualitative and quantitative data (but analyzes them separately).
Mixed methods
Vague terms, double negatives and double barrels are all things you should avoid when designing one of these.
A survey question (OR a questionnaire)
This term refers to the entire group of individuals or phenomena that you are interested in studying.
Population
Univariate refers to one variable and bivariate refers to two variables. ________ refers to more than two variables.
Multivariate
This term refers to defining exactly how a concept will be measured in a study.
Operationalization
This research method requires probability sampling and questionnaire design.
Quantitative surveys
The main difference between a questionnaire and a survey is this.
The questionnaire is the set of questions used in a survey, whereas the survey is the entire process of collecting and analyzing data using a questionnaire (the method).
This term refers to the the group that you will actually gather data from
Sample
What are the three measures of central tendency?
Mode, median and mean
There are four levels of measurement of variables: Nominal, Ordinal, ______ and Ratio
Interval
This relatively inexpensive research method does not interfere with the research subjects.
Unobtrusive methods
Response options for closed-ended survey questions should always fit these two key criteria:
Exhaustive and ______ ?
Mutually exclusive
This kind of sampling is conducted in such a way as to make it possible to draw statistical inferences about your population of interest.
Probability sampling
Descriptive statistics are useful for describing data from your sample, but this form of statistics allows you to say something about the population you are studying.
Inferential statistics
This level of measurement has a true zero point, allowing math to be done on the data you collect
Ratio
'Pros' of this research method are that it is reliable, repeatable, and able to establish cause and effect relationships. 'Cons' include ethical concerns and that it is artificial.
Experiments
To calculate the response rate on a survey, you divide the number of completed surveys by the number of what?
The number of surveys distributed
Four types of _________ sampling include: convenience, snowball, quota and purposive.
Non-probability sampling
For the following test scores, what is the mode?
Test scores: 6, 8, 9, 6, 7, 6, 9, 5, 7
6
This level of measurement sees variables ranked in an order, but there aren't necessarily equal distance between the levels.
Ordinal
'Pros' of this research method include detailed, in-depth data and less time-consuming than interviews. 'Cons' include that it can be expensive, hard to schedule, and a lack of confidentiality.
Focus groups
A cross-sectional survey is conducted once, capturing data at one point in time, whereas this other type of quantitative survey's data collection is repeated over a period of time.
A longitudinal survey
This term refers to multiplying survey data by a set of adjustment factors. These adjustments can be made to survey results at the analysis stage, to correct for sampling and non-response errors.
Weighting
If these test scores were displayed on a table, what is (n)?
Test scores: 6, 8, 9, 6, 7, 6, 9, 5, 7, 3
10
Measures of dispersion include the range, the variance, and this third measure of spread.
Standard deviation
