Ch 10 quiz Review Flashcards
Identify a function of one-way tabulation
they can be used to determine the amount of nonresponse to individual questions
What do you do in step one of the quality assurance process?
Build a comprehensive foundation with qualitative research to ensure rigorous research design.
Researchers typically begin in the four-step process to develop codes for responses by
making a list of as many potential responses as possible
Identify a disadvantage of using open ended questions in a survey
the coding process must be prepared AFTER the data collection as potential responses cannot be prepared ahead of time for open ended questions
which of the following is a disadvantage of using open - ended questions in a survey
the coding task for multiple responses becomes time consuming
identify a true statement about data entry
with online surveys, this step at the same time as data collection
Data entry is a procedure used to
record the data into a computer file for subsequent data analysis
Missing data are often a problem in data analysis and are defined as a situation in which
respondents fail to provide an answer to a question
The conversion of information from secondary sources, surveys, or other sources so it can be used in statistical analysis is known as
data preparation
identify a true statement about cross- tabulation
it classifies the number of responses to two or more questions, this showing the relationship between those two variables
in the coding process, the codes used are typically numerical ( a number from 0) because
computers function better with numbers than alphanumerical values
_____ simultaneously compares two or more variables in a study
cross - tabulation
identify a function in one -way tabulation
they can be used to determine the amount of nonresponse to individual questions
a major part of editing the answers to open-ended questions is
interpretation
Cheating or falsification in the data collection process is known as
curbstoning
in the context of quantitative analysis, data preparation ensures data quality by ___
identifying potential response and nonresponse biases created by respondents errors and or interview errors
editing answers to be open-minded questions often requires researchers to
use thier judgement when classifying responses
one - way tabulation can be used to
locate mistakes in data entry
during the editing process, a researcher must ensure that
the survey included ONLY qualified respondents
curbstoning occurs when interviewers find an out of the way location such as a curbstone, and ____
answer survey questions themselves instead of following procedures with an actual respondent
vocab:
Categorizing or grouping responses from surveys. This can be done through transcripts
coding
vocab:
A relationship between two variables are seen through the data collection process from the responses from respondents.
cross- tabulation
Confirming the credibility, honesty, and accuracy of surveys and observations. Overall, to make sure there is no bias in the research gathered.
data validation
Single variables that exist or have a state of being in the study.
One-way tabulation
