Q

biases result from

A
  1. differences among participants in groups (non-random groups)
  2. researcher’s preconceptions minimize this (can do double blind study)
  3. use triangulation to reduce bias

Q

good design power should be adequately dealt with

35
Q

true experimental designs

A
  • manipulation
  • control
  • randomization
36
Q

manipulation

A

independent variables

37
Q

control

A

not getting any treatment

outside things impact treatment

38
Q

randomization

A

pick random from different population

  • extreme view will be cancelled
  • equal chance that they can be picked for any group
39
Q

examples of randomization

A
  • table of random #’s
  • flipping a coin
  • most reliable method for equating groups on all possible characteristics that could effect outcome of study
40
Q

cluster randomization

A

picking people in clusters, random, pick a bunch to represent zip code

41
Q

matching

A

people in each group match and have equal numbers

42
Q

experimental designs: basic

A
  • posttest only

- pretest/posttest

43
Q

posttest only

A

someone’s been given a treatment and measuring outcome after the fact

44
Q

pretest/posttest

A

measuring outcomes before and after

45
Q

solomon four group design

A

take into account influence of pretesting on subsequent posttest results

46
Q

factorial design

A

1 independent and 1 dependent

47
Q

main effects

A

1 variable

48
Q

interaction effects

A

combine independent varibales

49
Q

repeated measures design (cross over)

A

each patient is randomly assigned to a sequence of treatments

50
Q

randomized control trials

A

population receiving the program or policy intervention is chosen at random from eligible population, and control group is also chosen at random from the same eligible population

51
Q

quasi experimental designs

A
  • manipulation and control or randomization
  • non-equivalent control group design
  • time series designs
  • time series- non-equivalent control group design
52
Q

non-experimental designs

A
  • why choose them?
  • 2 broad classes
  • ex-post facto research
  • descriprive
53
Q

ex-post facto research

A

after-the-fact research is a category of research design in which the investigation starts after the fact has occurred without interference from the researcher

54
Q

descriptive

A
  • descriptive correlational
  • univariate descriptive
  • retrospective
  • prospective
55
Q

other non-experimental types

A
  • survey research
  • evaluation research
  • needs assessment
  • secondary analysis
  • meta analysis
  • historical research
  • case studies (single subject designs)
56
Q

strategies in a research study

A
  • triangulation
  • mixed methods
  • fully integrated
57
Q

triangulation

A

collecting data from 3 ways

58
Q

mixed methods

A

mixing methods from different parts of continuum

59
Q

fully integrated

A

different methods work hand in hand

60
Q

integrated research designs 2 broad categories in multi-method research

A
  • component

- integrated

61
Q

component

A
  • triangulated
  • complementarity
  • expansion
62
Q

integrated

A
  • iterative
  • embedded or nested
  • holistic
  • transformative
63
Q

advantages of experimental design

A

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

64
Q

disadvantage of experimental designs

A
  • many situations in which experimental design is impossible
  • secondary to ethical or protocol considerations
  • artificiality of setting
  • randomness not always real
65
Q

hawthrone effect

A
  • placebo effect

- knowledge of being included in study may be sufficent to cause people to change their behavior

66
Q

study could have double hawthorne effect

A
  • when those conducting study also change their behvaior

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

67
Q

repeated measures design

A
  • one group tested under all conditions

- within subjects design

68
Q

repeated measures design strong design because of

A

ability to control potential influence of individual differences

69
Q

repeated measure design disadvantage is

A
  • practice effects
  • 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 measure design

A

1 group of subjects exposed to all levels of 1 independent variable

  • order effects can occur
  • that is potential biasing effect of test sequence
  • so randomize order of presentation for each subject
  • 1 way ANOVA test
71
Q

ANOVA

A
  • Analysis of variance

- find out whether differences between groups of data are statistically significant

72
Q

crossover design

A

when there are only 2 levels of independent variable

  • 1/2 recieve treatment A, then treatment B
  • 1/2 recieve 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
73
Q

paired t-test

A

interested in the difference between two variables for the same subject

74
Q

two way design with two repeated measures

A
  • 2 independent variables with 2 levels each
  • subjects get all 4 conditions
  • 2 way ANOVA
75
Q

correlational

A

degree of association among variables

-it is function of covariation in data

76
Q

descriptive correlational

A

describe nature of existing relationships

77
Q

univariate descriptive

A

1 variable

78
Q

restrospective

A

examine data collected in past

79
Q

prospective

A

current data and follow up in future

80
Q

survey research

A

statistical

81
Q

evaluation research

A

how well something is doing (standardize)

what is going on

82
Q

needs assessment

A

collect data on what place is like/what they need may have multiple needs

83
Q

secondary analysis

A

take existing data set ask different research question and analyze

84
Q

meta analysis

A

take a bunch of studies that are asking same question and study in different population combine statistically (quanitiative)

85
Q

content analysis

A

can be numerical/qualitative

frequency of idea

86
Q

historical research

A

go back and look at old records/artifacts to recreate history

87
Q

case studies

A

look at individual in depth every client factor

look at them holistically
