Q

Three Weaknesses of Quantitative Research

A
  1. Large samples require a lot of time and effort.
  2. Statistical analysis of data requires an expert to be able to perform.
  3. Quantifying and reducing observations to numerical values makes it too simplistic.
33
Q

Three Strengths of Quantitative Research

A
  1. Analysis of data is assisted with statistical methods.
  2. Large-scale research can be undertaken.
  3. Data can be presented in graphical or tabular form.
34
Q

The experimental and nonexperimental types of quantitative research depend on the _______________ and the __________ of the problem being investigated.

A

Topic, Nature

35
Q

To identify a cause-effect relationship between the variables where the samples are randomized.

A

True Experimental research

36
Q

A nonexperimental research design focuses on the description of factors, variables, or phenomena that occurs in nature

A

Descriptive Research

37
Q

To compare two variables in order to identify whether there exists a causative relationship between them. It involves two or more groups and one independent variable.

A

Comparative Research (Causal-Comparative Research)

38
Q

Compares two variables then identifies the relationship between them.

A

Correlational Research

39
Q

Mirrors experimental research but it is not true experimental research where a casual relationship can be determined with the use of dependent and independent variables. It use assigned samples.

A

Quasi-experimental Research

40
Q

Quantitative Research may either be __________ or ___________

A

Correlational, Causal

41
Q

Quantitative Research focuses on the three following:

A
  1. Collection of observable and measurable data.
  2. Standardized data collection instruments.
  3. Statistical techniques in data analysis.
42
Q

Involves identifying relationships between two variables

A

Correlational Research

43
Q

As stated by Vanderstoep and Johnston (2009), A ___________ is a “statistical measure of association between two variables”.

A

Correlation

44
Q

Who stated a ____________ is a “statistical measure of association between two variables”.

A

Vanderstoep and Johnston (2009)

45
Q

It is often used in quantitative research in the Social Sciences, Psychology, Economics, Political Science.

A

Correlational Research

46
Q

Correlational Research looks at the following

A
  1. Whether an association exists between variables.
  2. Magnitude of the existing association between two variables.
  3. Direction of the association between two variables.
47
Q

looks at causes and effects.

A

Causal research

48
Q

As stated by Vanderstoep and Johnston (2009), A ____________ refers to the “claim that a change in one variable creates a change in another variable”.

A

Causation

49
Q

Who stated that _________ refers to the “claim that a change in one variable creates a change in another variable”.

A

Vanderstoep and Johnston (2009)

50
Q

Causal research follows the three foloowing:

A
  1. Causal research deals with cause and effect.
  2. It is often used in studying the natural sciences.
  3. In chemistry, it is applied in the conduct of chemical experiments to see whether a change in the quantity of one substance affects the characteristics of another substance.

Descriptive Analysis and Inferential Analaysis

61
Q

A type of quantitative research aimed at causation.

A

Experimental Research

62
Q

Respondents - The ___________________ group receives the experimental treatment

A

Experimental

63
Q

Respondents - The _____________ group does not receive an intervention.

A

Control

64
Q

(causes and explains the effect)

A

Independent Variable

65
Q

(the response to the application of or changes in the dependent variable).

A

Dependent Variable

66
Q

Two types of Variables

A

Dependent and Independent Variables

67
Q

Stages of the Experimental Procedure

A

Pretest, Actual intervention, Post test

68
Q

A

Instrumentation and Materials

69
Q

4 Experimental Procedures

A

Pre-Experimental, True Experiment, Quasi Experiment, Single-Subject design

70
Q

It is similar to the survey research because results in experimental research are analyzed in both descriptive and an inferential manner. The difference between the two is the overall goal of causation and not correlation.

A

Data analysis and interpretation

71
Q

Both variables are moving in the same direction.

A

Positive Correlation

72
Q

Variables move in a not same direction

A

Negative Correlation

73
Q

When x moves but y does not. No relationship

A

Zero Correlation/No Correlation

74
Q

Studies and provides an experimental intervention to a single experimental group. It does not make use of a control group.

A

Pre experimental research

75
Q

Uses both experimental and control groups but the respondents are not randomly assigned into groups.

A

Quasi experimental

76
Q

Makes use of both experimental and control groups whose respondents are randomly assigned.

A

True experiment

77
Q

Only has a single subject individual as the lone participant of the experiment.

A

Single subject experiment

78
Q

It is similar to the survey research because results in experimental research are analyzed in both descriptive and an inferential manner. The difference between the two is the overall goal of causation and not correlation.
