100
This is defined as the probability of a Type I error in statistics.
What is the alpha level?
100
This shows how much variation or dispersion from the average exists.
What is standard deviation?
100
The systematic empirical investigation of social phenomena via statistical, mathematical or numerical data or computational techniques.
What is quantitative research?
100
A qualitative research design aimed at exploring cultural phenomena.
What is ethnography?
100
A written summary of journal articles, books and other documents that describes the past and current state of information on a topic of research study.
What is a literature review?
200
The incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis.
What is a Type 1 error?
200
The standard score that is the number of standard deviations an observation or datum is above the mean.
What is a z-score?
200
Research in which the causal (independent) variable(s) can be manipulated in order to change an effect.
What is experimental research?
200
A research initiated to solve an immediate problem or a reflective process of progressive problem solving led by individuals working with others in teams or as part of a "community of practice" to improve the way they address issues and solve problems.
What is action research?
200
Literature reported by the individual who actually conducted the research or who originated the ideas
What is a primary source?
300
The failure to reject a false null hypothesis.
What is a Type II Error?
300
The percent of the normal distribution that is between -1 and +1 standard deviations from the mean.
What is 68.26?
300
The variable you have control over, what you can choose and manipulate.
What is an independent variable?
300
Rather than beginning with a hypothesis, the first step is data collection, then the data is coded, grouped into concepts, and categories are formed, which are the basis for the creation of a theory, or a reverse engineered hypothesis.
What is grounded theory method?
300
A summary of the major aspects of a study or article, conveyed in a concise way and written with specific components that describe the study
What is an abstract?
400
A default position that there is no relationship between two measured phenomena.
What is a null hypothesis?
400
A number between -1 and +1 calculated so as to represent the linear dependence of two variables or sets of data.
What is a correlation coefficient?
400
A form of analysis in which you correlate one variable with another to determine if there is a relationship between them.
What is correlational research?
400
This is used to indicate that two (or more) methods are used in a study in order to check the results. The concept is borrowed from navigational and land surveying techniques that determine a single point in space with the convergence of measurements taken from two other distinct points.
What is triangulation?
400
The researcher connects the themes to display a chronology or sequence of events, such as when qualitative researchers generate a theoretical and conceptual model or report stories of individuals.
What are interconnecting themes?
500
A hypothesis that predicts that there will be a difference between the two groups.
What is a non-directional hypothesis?
500
This is usually estimated by the sample estimate of the population standard deviation divided by the square root of the sample size.
What is the Standard Error of Measurement?
500
An ethically questionable study of the psychological effects of becoming a prisoner or prison guard.
What is the Stanford Prison Experiment?
500
A set of procedures whereby data are put back together in new ways after open coding, by making connections between categories.
What is axial coding?
500
A detailed summary of each study grouped under a broad theme
What is a study-by-study review of the literature?
