Research Chapters/Phases Flashcards
A factor-isolating problem would have a research design of
Descriptive
A factor-relating problem would have a research design of
Correlational study
A factor-relating problem determines
Relationships
A situation-relating problem would have a research design of
Experimental
The 3 research designs that have statistical treatments
Experimental, correlational, descriptive
If a problem could be answered by a yes/no, this is called
A stopper
Criteria in evaluating a research problem
Feasible, (you’re) interested, researchable, significant
A purpose of a research is its
Overall goal
The objective of a research is its
Specific aims
The extent or boundary of your research
Scope
Perceived weaknesses that exists in the whole study
Limitation
This is present even before the research is done and these are the restrictions the researchers have placed prior gathering data
Delimitation
Chapter 1 ends with a(n)
Assumption
This shows the relationship among variables in the study
Framework
Broader framework, an abstract concept
Theoretical framework
The mental image of the study as it provides direction that is missing in the theoretical framework
Conceptual framework
Conceptual framework is also known as the
Research paradigm
The RRL ends with a(n)
Hypothesis
Hypotheses can be based on
Complexities, conclusions, statistical tests, relationships
This hypothesis is based on multiple IVs and DVs and is also known as multivariate hypothesis
Complex hypothesis
These are the 1) statistical hypothesis and 2) research hypothesis
1) null hypothesis; 2) Alternative hypothesis
This hypothesis has a specific expected nature and direction of the variables’ relationship
Directional
This hypothesis usually have two phrases separated by a comma showing that if one variable changes, so will the other variable
Associative
This hypothesis shows a cause and effect interaction between variables
Causal
Hypotheses separated by time, distance etc. making these variables unable to be related to each other
Artificial
This variable is observable in nature, present throughout the study from start to end, and is outside the interest of control
Extraneous
This variable is present only when conducting the study, and is nonbservable,
Intervening
An intervening variable cannot be controlled, but
Minimized
This is the blueprint of the study
Research design
The 3 general types of research include
General classification, investigation level, time element
The difference between a basic and applied research
Basic is pure research, applied research is for practical research and solving problems
This general classification type of research is used to develop skills and strategies
Action research
This general classification type of research focuses on the stratification of society
Orientation research
A research type with an investigation level if there’s no existing knowledge
Explanatory
A research type with an investigation level if there’s 50% existing knowledge
Exploratory
A research type with an investigation level if you already know the topic 100% and you’re only looking for supplementary info
Descriptive
A mixed model research has
1 result only
A mixed methd research is
pretty much two studies
A research DESIGN showing facts and issues
Descriptive design
A true experiment has 3 features
Randomization
Experimental and control group
Manipulation
Research design that lacks one of the 3 features of an experiment
Quasi-experimental
A causal-comparative research design is also called
an ex-post facto
This qualitative research design is used when developing a theory or when dealing with individual behaviors of select people
Grounded theory research
Case study is also known as
Field method
In a close-ended questionnaire, this scale shows the extent of one’s agreement or disagreement
Likert scale
In a close-ended questionnaire, this scale shows the magnitude of one’s experience
Visual analog scale
This type of interview collects data of how other people feel without them feeling fear or disapproval or suggestions from the interviewer
Non-directive
This graphical representation is ideal for comparison of data
Bar graph
This graphical representation is ideal for showing the breakdown of a total or group
Pie chart
This graphical representation is used to show a frequency distribution of at least 30 subjects
Histogram
This graphical representation is ideal for showing a time series to see changes within a time period
Line diagram
In a frequency distribution, these are the groupings
Class interval
In a frequency distribution, these are the lower and upper limits
Class limits
In a frequency distribution, these characterizes the class interval being .5 higher and .5 lower
Class boundary
In a frequency distribution, this is the midpoint
Classmark
