Q

It involves describing, analyzing, and interpreting the conditions that now exist

A

Descriptive Research

36
Q

Refers to correspondence between two variables

A

Relationship

37
Q

What are the two types of relationship?

A

correlation and causation

38
Q

relationship between two phenomena in which one phenomenon is the reason behind the other

A

Causation

39
Q

describes how the values of variable Y of a specific population are associated with the values of another variable X from the same population.

A

Correlation

40
Q

Can there be CAUSATION without CORRELATION?

A

No, there can never be causation without correlation

41
Q

used to establish cause-and-effect relationship between two or more variables

A

Experimental Research

42
Q

“Is there a significant difference in the post-test
scores of the control group and experimental
group?” what kind of quantitative research?

A

Experimental

43
Q

What are the basic requirements for experiments?

A
  1. Random assignment of respondents or research participants
  2. Treatment and no-treatment groups
  3. Observations after the treatment
44
Q

in an experiment, the researchers attempts to deliberately control and/or manipulate the variables in the study

A

Experimental

45
Q

examines who, what, when, and where questions

A

descriptive

46
Q

“how many hours do STEM students spend on social media per day?’ what kind of quantitative research?

A

desceriptive

47
Q

provides the most powerful support for possible hypothesis of causation

A

experimental

48
Q

to be able to infer a relationship between cause and effect, three requirements must be met. what are those?

A
  1. Systematic order of events
  2. Associative Association
  3. Absence of other causes
49
Q

aside from the (identified) cause, no alternative explanation for the effect must be plausible

A

absence of other causes

50
Q

cause must precede effect

A

systematic order of events

51
Q

cause must be related to effect

A

Associative Association

52
Q

results can show relationships between variables; relationship between cause and effect is difficult to prove

A

quasi-experimental

53
Q

absence of random selection and aissgnment of subject; lesser validity than true experimental designs

A

quasi-experimental

54
Q

when is quasi- experimental used?

A

when the researcher cannot/should not randomly assign participants to control

55
Q

Attempts to identify a causative relationship between an
independent variable and a dependent variable after an action or event has already occured

A

causal-comparative

56
Q

Researchers’ goal is to determine whether the I.V. affected
the outcome, or D.V., by comparing two or more group of individuals

A

causal-comparative

57
Q

Investigators have no control over the variables in the sense of being able to manipulate them.

A

ex-post facto

58
Q

report only what has happened or what is happening; looks first to the effects and tries afterward to determine causes

A

ex-post facto

59
Q

what are the two orientation in research?

A

retrospective and prospective

60
Q

Starts with an effect and seeks possible causes; Begins with the dependent variable and then examines whether it is correlated with one or more
antecedent independent variables

A

retrospective

61
Q

Starts with a cause and investigates its effects on some variable

A

prospective

62
Q

synonym for association; studies relationships between two or more variables in a single group of participants without any attempt to influence them

A

correlational

63
Q

does not consider cause-and-effect relationships; lack of random assignment limits the generalizability of the results

A

correlational

64
Q

what is the most appropriate research when it is not practical to manipulate the independent variables; or when such manipulation of human participants is ethically unacceptable (delinquency, illnesses, suicide)

A

causal-comparative/ex-post facto

65
Q

measurement of something that holds at least two distinct values across participants within the study

A

variables

66
Q

what are the two requirements?

A
  1. values for any variable must be mutually exclusive from one another
  2. values for any variable must be exhaustive
67
Q

variable that measures a subject’s race

A

exhaustive

68
Q

what are the function of variables

A
  1. presumed causality
  2. purpose of inquiry
69
Q

what are the two variables under presumed causality?

A

independent and dependent

70
Q

the factor that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher; also referred to as explanatory variable

A

independent variable

71
Q

measured or observed; criterion, response, consequence

A

dependent variable

72
Q

what are the two variables under purpose of inquiry?

A

control and moderator

73
Q

held constant in a research study by observing only one of its instance or levels

A

control

74
Q

suspected or known to impact/influence the dependent variable

A

moderator

75
Q

factors not considered in the study but affect/influences in any way the study variables

A

extraneous/exogenous

76
Q

test factor which changes or causes the loss of original bivariate relationship; the original relationship is?

A

spurious causal relationship

77
Q

what are the two different scales for measurement?

A
  1. continuous and discrete; categorical
  2. nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio
78
Q

can take an ordered set of numerical values within a certain range (age, distance, volume, temperature, height)

A

continuous

79
Q

can take a specific values only (class size, family size)

A

discrete

80
Q

classifies observations by name only, does not connote any value (religion)

A

categorical

81
Q

variable that represents two categories

A

dichotomous

82
Q

variable with many categories

A

polychotomous

83
Q

application of rules in assigning numbers to cases so as to represent the presence of absence of quantity

A

measurement

84
Q

just a descriptive name, no value, no ranking (colors, gender)

A

nominal

85
Q

ranked highest to lowest

A

ordinal

86
Q

zero does not mean the absence of the attribute (temperature, test scores)

A

interval

87
Q

zero has a meaning; you can’t go below zero (amount of money in your pocket, no. of children, height, weight)

A

ratio
