FINAL Flashcards
Studies of cause and effect similar to experimental designs but using convenience samples or existing groups to test interventions.
Quasi-experimental design
The design elements in quantitative studies aim to mitigate the effects of the:
extraneous variable
When a change is being implemented and the researcher is focused on the results of that change, what type of design is used?
Experimental design
Which of the following is the hallmark of the experimental design?
Subjects are randomly assigned to groups.
Which of the following is a difference between a comparison group and a true control group in a quasi-experimental design?
The subjects are not randomly assigned to the comparison group.
Descriptive exploration of a single unit of study.
Case research methods
Aimed at discovering and developing a theory based on systematically collected data based on a phenomenon.
Grounded theory
Investigation of the meaning of an experience among a group of those who have lived that experience.
Phenomenology
Used to discover and interpret the meaning of data collected in qualitative studies.
Content analysis
A study of the features and interactions of a given culture.
Ethnography
Numbers in a data set that are collected to represent research variables.
Descriptive data
The exact midpoint of the numbers of a data set (middle).
Median
The average.
Mean
MOST frequently occurring value in the data set.
Mode
The meticulous descriptive exploration of a single unit of study such as a person, family group, community, or other entity.
Case study
The investigation of the distribution & determinants of disease within population or cohorts.
Epidemology
Study conducted by examining a single phenomenon across multiple populations of a single point in time with no intent for a follow-up in the design.
Cross-sectional design
Study conducted by examining a single phenomenon across multiple populations of a single point in time with no intent for a follow-up in the design.
Cross-sectional design
Study conducted by following subjects over a period of time.
Longitudinal study
An investigation using a single case or subject in which, baseline data are collected, an intervention is applied and the responses are tracked over time.
Single-subject design
A design that involves the analysis of 2 variables to describe the strength and direction of the relationship between them.
Correlational study
A measure that depicts the strength and nature of the relationship between the 2 variables.
Correlational analysis
