- pretest/postest

44
Q

Solomon 4 group design

A

roots in sociology

57
Q

ethnomethodology

A

58
Q

strategies in a research study

A
  • triangulation
  • mixed methods
  • fully integrated
59
Q

integrated research designs 2 broad categories in multi-method research

A
  • component

- integrated

60

A
  • triangulated
  • complementarity
  • expansion
61
Q

integrated

A

  • transformative
62
Q

advantages of experimental designs

A

most powerful method available for testing hypotheses of cause and effect relationships between variable

63
Q

disadvantages of experimental designs

A

many situations in which experimental design is impossible, secondary to ethical or protocol considerations, artificiality or setting, randomness not always real

64
Q

Hawthorne effect (placebo effect)

A

knowledge of being included in a study may be sufficient to cause people to change their behavior

65
Q

study could have double hawthorn effect

A

when those conducting study also change their behavior

therefore, do a double blind study so neither researcher nor subject know

66
Q

repeated measures design

A

-one group tested under all conditions (within subjects design)

67
Q

repeated measures design

A

-one group tested under all conditions (within subjects design)

68
Q

one group tested under all conditions (within subjects design) strong design because of

A

ability to control potential influence of individual differences

69
Q

one group tested under all conditions (within subjects design disadvantage is practice effects

A

exposure to test

one way to combat this is increase length of time between treatments, so subject’s scores can go back to baseline

70
Q

one way repeated measures design

A

one group of subjects exposed to all levels of one Independent variable
order effects can occur, that is potential biasing effect of test sequence, so randomize order of presentation for each subject
one way ANOVA test

71
Q

crossover design

A
  • only 2 levels of individual variable
  • half receive treatment A, then treatment B
  • half revieve treatment B followed by treatment A
  • again add time in between to remove any testing effect or treatment residual effect
  • 2 way ANOVA, paired t-test
72
Q

two way design with two repeated measures

A
  • 2 individual variable with two levels each
  • subjects get all 4 conditions
  • 2 way ANOVA
73
Q

efficacy

A

examining benefit of treatment as compared to control group or standard of care group

74
Q

effectiveness

A

benefits and use of procedures under real world conditions

75
Q

A
  • manipulation + control OR randomization
  • non-equivalent control group design
  • time series designs
76
Q

quasi experimental designs: one way repeated measures design

A

one way ANOVA

79
Q

quasi experimental designs: time series design

A
  • multiple measures before and after tx, to document trends

- use graphic visual analysis

80
Q

quasi experimental designs: non-equivalent pre-test/post-test control group design

A
  • groups are not equal

- paired t-test, ANOVA

81
Q

quasi experimental designs: non-equivalent post-test only control group design

A
  • regression analysis

- discriminant analysis

82
Q

non-experimental designs: 2 broad classes

A
  • ex-post facto research

- descriptive

83
Q

non-experimental designs: ex-post facto research

A
  • after fact (intervention)

- correlational

84
Q

correlational

A
  • degree of association among variables

- it is a function of covariation in data

85
Q

non-experimental designs: descriptive

A
  • descriprive correlational
  • univariate descriptive
  • retrospective
  • prospective
86
Q

descriptive coorelational

A

describe nature of existing relationships

87
Q

one variable

88
Q

take a bunch of study that are asking same question and their population combine statistically (quantitative)

96
Q

content analaysis

A
  • can be numerical/qualitative

- frequency of idea

97

look at individual in depth every client factor look at them historically
