FORMULATING HYPOTHESIS Flashcards
predicted relationship between at least 2 variables
HYPOTHESIS
events, traits, behaviors MIGHT be related - not about cause and efect
NON - EXPERIEMENTAL HYPOTHESIS
states the cause-and-effect relationship between IV &DV.
EXPERIMENTAL HYPOTHESIS
predicts changes (dv) while (iv) is manipulated
EXPERIMENTAL HYPOTHESIS
type of hypothesis that has no effect on the population.
NULL HYPOTHESIS
data that states there is sig. effect on the population.
ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS
INDUCTIVE MODEL
from specific cases to more general principles
general principle to more specific instances
DEDUCTIVE MODEL
most useful way of finding a hypothesis; working from study that has already been done
BUILDING ON PRIOR RESEARCH
tendency of findings things that are not being sought; matter of knowing enough
SERENDIPITY
reasoning without knowing to guide in choosing study; most accurate if it comes to experts.
INTUITION
CAUSAL ATTRIBUTIONS
naturally formulating hypothesis
META ANALYSIS
uses data from many studies to summarize research findings.
PICOT FRAMEWORK
population/problem
intervention
comparison/control
objective/outcome
time
specific population involved; existing problem u wish to address.
PROBLEM/POPULATION
comparison of intervention with.
CONTROL/ COMPARISON
plan to introduce to population to alleviate prob.
INTERVENTION
expected consequences after introducing the intervention; if it is measurable
OBJECTIVE/OUTCOME
duration of intervention before u reach the desired outcome
TIME
FINER FRAMEWORK
feasible
interesting
novel
ethical
relevant
achievable sample size; measurable outcomes
FEASIBLE
interest of principal investigators; attracts attention of readers
INTERESTING
provides diff findings; new hypothesis; resolves gap
NOVEL
complies local ethical committees; safety & reversibility of side effects
