Question 17

Basic research vs applied research

Answer 17

Basic research aims to expand knowledge though new knowledge may not be readily applied to practice

Applied research is specifically aimed to answer a question or solve an issue

Question 18

A quantitative method that examines two or more variables to determine the influence one variable has on others (I.e. relationship between age and IQ)

Answer 18

Correlational design

Question 19

Examines groups with similar features and differences to understand factors that influence the similarities and differences

Answer 19

Casual comparative design
(quantitative)

Question 20

Establishes one control group as a baseline while conducting an experiment on the other group

Answer 20

Experimental design
(quantitative)

Question 21

Describes whether a measurement method produces the same results over a long period of time and across different users

Answer 21

Reliability

Question 22

Multiple researchers can use the method the same way
(i.e. different doctors independently dx a patient with the same condition after examining the same symptoms)

Answer 22

Inter-rater reliability

Question 23

Measurements stay the same when method is used by the same person multiple times
(i.e. a survey instrument, like a psychological test, is estimated by performing the same survey with the same respondents at different moments of time)

Answer 23

Test-retest reliability

Question 24

a measure of reliability obtained by administering different versions of an assessment tool (both versions must contain items that probe the same construct, skill, knowledge base, etc.) to the same group of individuals.
(i.e. you want to find the reliability for a test of mathematics comprehension, so you create a set of 100 questions that measure that construct. You randomly split the questions into two sets of 50 (set A and set B), and administer those questions to the same group of students a week apart.)

Answer 24

Parallel forms reliability

Question 25

How consistently a tool measures a construct

Answer 25

Internal consistency reliability

(i.e. a survey that asks people about their job satisfaction might have this if the questions appear to be directly related to job satisfaction and the words are easy to understand.)

Answer 27

Face validity

Question 28

Describes how well a specific variable is measured as opposed to others that are present
(concerns the identification of the causes, effects, settings, and participants that are present in a study.)

Answer 28

Construct validity

Question 29

Assess whether a measure is a valid representation of a particular construct
(i.e A researcher wants to know whether a college entrance exam is able to predict future academic performance.)

Answer 29

Criterion validity

Question 30

assess how well a measure is able to provide information to help improve the program under study
(i.e. When designing a rubric for history one could assess student’s knowledge across the discipline.)
