Answer 2

Quantitative Research

Question 3

it is useful when we want to measure and looking for numerical answers

Answer 3

Quantitative Research

Question 4

Characteristics of Quantitative Research

Answer 4

Measurement and Quantitative Research Problem
Empiricism and Positivism
Scientific Method in the Social Sciences

Question 5

addressing research problems that require quantification. It is suitable for investigating human, social, behavioral, or organizational aspects that can be measured

Answer 5

Measurement and Quantitative Research Problem

Question 6

aims to acquire scientific and objective knowledge and places value on numerical measures. It starts its investigation with a theory, conducts tests to validate it and performs additional tests.

Answer 6

positivism

Question 7

believes that
what cannot be observed
using the five senses cannot
be reasonably studied. This
promotes objective
investigation as it provides a
common reference for
evaluating data.

Answer 7

empiricism

Question 8

Quantitative
researchers believe
that social science
phenomena can be
studied similarly to
natural science
phenomena.

Answer 8

Scientific Method in the Social Sciences

Question 9

types of quantitative research

Answer 9

descriptive
correlational
causal-comparative
experimental

Question 10

investigating, measuring, and describing one or more aspects of one or more groups, communities or phenomenon. It deals with complex subjects and it requires systematic research. It cant be easily answered by a simple research

Answer 10

descriptive research

Question 11

this type of research studies the relationship between two or more variables or characteristics of one or more groups.

Answer 11

correlational research

Question 12

high values of one variable correspond with high values of the other (corresponds to positive values)

Answer 12

positive correlation

Question 13

high values of one variable correspond with low values of the other (corresponds to negative values)

Answer 13

negative correlation

Question 14

the action of causing something . reason kung bakit nangyari ang isang bagay

Answer 14

causation

Question 15

if there is a significant relationship between two variables, it does not follow that one variable causes the other.

Answer 15

Correlation does not mean Causation

Question 16

This research approach compares one or more measurable characteristics of two or more groups to find their similarities and differences

Answer 16

Causal – Comparative Research

Question 17

It is known as longitudinal or repeated measures studies. It uses the scientific method to establish the cause-effect relationship among a group of variables that make up a study.

Answer 17

Experimental Research

Question 18

This design requires two groups of equivalent standing and terms of criterion measure – a control group and an experimental group.

Answer 18

Pre-test/Post-test Control Group Design

Question 19

It is utilized to a limited number of subjects.

Answer 19

Single Group Pre-test/Post-test Design

Question 20

These are mental abstractions derived from the combination of concepts, or the mental representation of the world around you.

Answer 20

constructs

Question 21

These refer to one or more observable and measurable characteristics or attributes of people, groups, or communities that take on different values.

Answer 21

variables

Question 22

These are variables that cause changes in a phenomenon. t is also called as the treatment, manipulated or predictor variables.

Answer 22

independent variables

Question 23

these are the variables affected by the independent variables. is also referred to as outcome or response variable.

Answer 23

dependent variables

Question 24

these variables are usually indicated in an experimental research. They are not included in the study but in one way or another causes effect on the dependent variable. any variable that you’re not investigating that can potentially affect the dependent variable of your research study.

Answer 24

EXTRANEOUS VARIABLES

Question 25

these variables are used to characterize and describe the quality of data. Therefore, it does not include numerical values.

Answer 25

categorical variables / qualitative variables

Question 26

These enable the classification of data based on given options that do not follow a rank or sequence.

Answer 26

nominal variable

Question 27

These characterize data using a certain rank or order.

Answer 27

ordinal variable

Question 28

These variables give details regarding the number or level of something. also counts the frequency of responses or effect.

Answer 28

numerical variables / quantitative variables

Question 29

These are variables in which values are based on a given interval or continuum.

Answer 29

interval variables

Question 30

These are the highest level of measurement and accurately compare data because they are based on a “true zero point.”

Answer 30

ratio variables

Question 31

uses of variables

Answer 31

classifying
measuring
explaining
assessing relationships

Question 32

Through variables, we could classify our information and other components of research according to attributes or factors.

Answer 32

classifying

Question 33

Variables allow us to measure the frequency, magnitude, and impact among others of a particular subject or concept.

Answer 33

measuring

Question 34

By identifying particular variables and choosing appropriate indicators, you can explain a particular phenomenon.

Answer 34

explaning

Question 35

Variables are critical elements of assessing relationship because without them, we cannot examine how these are related to one another.

Answer 35

assessing relationships
