22
Q

A type of variable that is used to name, label or categorize attributes that are being measured. It takes qualitative values.

A

NOMINAL TYPE VARIABLE

23
Q

This is the case when a person’s phone number, company identification number, postal code, etc. are being collected

A

NOMINAL TYPE VARIABLE

24
Q

(Categories of Nominal Type Variable)

All the values of the nominal variable are paired up or group so that each member of a group has similar characteristics except for the variable under investigation

A

Matched category

25
Q

(Categories of Nominal Type Variable) is an independent sample of unrelated group of data and unlike in the matched category, the values in a group do not necessarily have similar characteristics

A

Unmatched category

26
Q

Type of variable
that represent categories that can be ordered from greatest to smallest. Examples include education level (e.g. Grade 10, Grade 11. Grade 12), income brackets, etc

A

Ordinal Type Variable

27
Q

Ordinal variable is a type of measurement variable that takes values with?

A

an order or rank

28
Q

Which type of variable is this?

How Satisfied are you?
-Very Satisfied
-Satisfied
-Dissatisfied

A

ORDINAL WITHOUT NUMERIC VALUE

29
Q

Type of variable that have values that lie along an evenly dispersed range of numbers

A

Interval Type Variable

30
Q

Unlike ordinal variables that take values with no standardized scale, every point in the interval scale is?

A

Equidistant

31
Q

Which type of variables are these: Temperature, Mark Grading, Time, IQ Test

A

interval type variable

32
Q

Type of variable that have values that lie along an evenly dispersed range of numbers when there is an absolute zero, as opposed to net worth, which can have negative debt-to-income ratio-level variable

A

Ratio Type variable

33
Q

Ratio variable already has a _________ value

A

zero

34
Q

5 kinds of Variables

A
  • Independent
  • Dependent
  • Intervening/Mediating
  • Control
  • Confounding
35
Q

Kind of variable that cause, influence, or affect outcomes. They are invariably called treatment, manipulated, antecedent or predictor variables

A

Independent-KIND Variable

36
Q

Kind of a variable that stands alone and isn’t changed by the other variables you are trying to measure.

A

Independent-KIND Variable

37
Q

Kind of variable that refers to the outcomes or results of the influence of the independent variable

A

Dependent-Kind Variable

38
Q

Kind of variable that “stand between” the independent and dependent variables

A

Intervening/Mediating-Type Variable

39
Q

An intervening variable is a __________ variable used to explain causal links between other variables

A

hypothetical

40
Q

Kind of variable. They may be demographic or personal variables that need to be “manipulated” so that the true influence of the independent variable on the dependent can be determined

A

Control-kind Variable

41
Q

Amount of light change is an example of what kind of variable

A

Control-kind Variable

42
Q

Variables that are not actually measured or observed in a study

A

Confounding-Kind Variable

43
Q

Funnel of ideas

A
  1. Theme
  2. Broad Topic
  3. Narrowing Topic
  4. Thesis title
44
Q

Funnel of ideas (ideas generated as the possible research topic)

A

Theme

45
Q

Funnel of ideas (where the ideas that you have generated in the theme is considered as current issue or the problem is existing)

A

BROAD TOPIC

46
Q

Funnel of ideas (in which you are connecting the broad topic to your context/situation or may be a situation of people in your locality)

A

NARROWING TOPIC

47
Q

Funnel of ideas (the proposed title you came up using the ideas from the THEME up to the NARROWING THE TOPIC STAGE).

A

THESIS TITLE

48
Q

It is something that nurtures in a researcher’s mind like difficulty or uncertainty, enough to push a researcher to do an empirical study in which they opt to find solutions to a problem and to answer possible gaps they perceived based on curiosity

A

Research problem

49
Q

Creswell (2014) Factors to consider

A
  1. Measures variables
  2. Assess the impact of these variables in an outcome
  3. Test theories or broad explanations
  4. Apply results to a large number of people
50
Q

A standard research title should have the following elements

A
  1. Aim or purpose of the problem for the investigation.
  2. The subject matter or topic to be investigated.
  3. The place or locale where the research is to be conducted.
  4. Period of time study during which the data are to be gathered
  5. Population or people from whom the data are to be collected
