Kinds Of Quantitative Research Flashcards
Type of research that seeks to describe the current status of an identified variable according to its degree, level, frequency, and extent
Descriptive Research
These research projects are designed to provide systematic information about a phenomenon.
Descriptive Research
The researcher does not usually begin with a hypothesis, but is likely to develop one after collecting data.
Descriptive Research
Systematic collection of information requires careful selection of the units studied and careful measurement of each variable.
Descriptive Research
The researcher in this type of research seeks to answer the question. What is the level/degree/extent of a certain phenomenon?
Descriptive Research
In this type of design, a hypothesis is required at the onset of the study and relationships between and among a number of facts are sought and interpreted.
Correlational Research
This type of research will recognize trends and patterns in data, but it does not go so far in its analysis to prove causes for these observed patterns.
Correlational Research
research attempts to establish cause-effect relationships among the variables. These types of design are very similar to true experiments, but with some key differences.
Casual Comparative/ Quasi-Experimental
An independent variable is identified but not manipulated by the experimenter, and effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable is measured.
Casual Comparative/ Quasi-Experimental
manipulated by the experimenter, and effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable is measured.
Casual Comparative/ Quasi-Experimental
The researcher does not randomly assign groups meaning in selecting the participants non-probability sampling is used like purposive sampling those who qualified for the purpose of the study is included.
Casual Comparative/ Quasi-Experimental
often called true experimentation, uses the scientific method to establish the cause-effect relationship among a group of variables that make up a study.
Experimental Research
A true experiment is any study where an effort is made to identify and impose control over all other variables. An independent variable is manipulated to determine the effects on the dependent variables.
Experimental Research
Subjects are randomly assigned to experimental treatments rather than identified in naturally occurring groups.
Experimental Research
Two groups of experimental research
Control and experimental group
