16
Q

Survey method

A

data are obtained by asking respondents questions, either through self-administered questions or personal interviews

17
Q

Observation method

A

data are obtained by recording the behavior as it happens

18
Q

Experiment method

A

data obtained under controlled conditions; there is direct human intervention on the conditions that may affect the values of the variable of interest

19
Q

Methods of Communication in Doing Surveys

A
  1. personal interview
  2. mail
  3. telephone
  4. focused group discussion (FGD)
20
Q

Questionnaire

A

refers to any list of questions, which can be self-administered by the respondent or read to the respondent by an interviewer

21
Q

Variable

A

a characteristic or attribute of the elements which can assume different values for the different elements in the collection

22
Q

Observation

A

a realized value of a variable

23
Q

A

collection of all observations

24
Q

Qualitative or categorical (nonmetric) variable

A

a quality or characteristic; can be observed but not measured

25
Quantitative or numerical (metric) variable
measures a numerical quantity or amount
26
Variables in an Experiment
1. Explanatory variables 2. Treatments/factor levels 3. Extraneous variables 4. Response variables
27
Explanatory variable/s
variables in the study whose values are believed to have an effect on the value of the response variables
28
Treatment or factor levels
values or categories of the explanatory variable that are being considered in the study
29
Extraneous variables
are those variables that may have an effect on the response variable but their effects are not of interest in the study
30
How do researchers intervene/control the conditions that may affect the response variable?
The researcher intervenes by controlling the conditions that may affect the response variable by: 1. using a randomization mechanism in assigning the treatments 2. controlling the identified extraneous variables
31
What will happen when the researchers intervene/control the conditions that may affect the response variable?
By doing so (intervening/controlling the conditions), the researcher can isolate the effects of the explanatory variable on the response variable and clarify the direction and strength of their relationship.
