designed to provide systematic
information about a

Answer 5

Descriptive Research

Question 6

The researcher does not usually
begin with a hypothesis, but is
likely to develop one after
collecting data.

Answer 6

Descriptive Research

Question 7

information requires careful
selection of the units studied and
careful measurement of each
variable.

Answer 7

Question 8

The researcher in this type of
research seeks to answer the
question. What is the
level/degree/extent of a certain
phenomenon?

Answer 8

Descriptive Research

Question 9

In this type of design, a hypothesis is required at the onset of the study and relationships between and among a number of facts are sought and interpreted.

Answer 9

Correlational Research

Question 10

This type of research will recognize
trends and patterns in data, but it does not go so far in its analysis to prove causes for these observed patterns.

Answer 10

Correlational Research

Question 11

research attempts to establish cause-effect relationships among the variables. These types of design are very similar to true experiments, but with some key differences.

Answer 11

CAUSAL-COMPARATIVE/QUASI-EXPERIMEN
TAL

Question 12

variables that make up a study.

Answer 15

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

Question 16

A true experiment is any study where an effort is made to identify and impose control over all other variables. An independent variable is manipulated to determine the effects on the dependent variables.

Answer 16

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

Question 17

experimental treatments rather than
identified in naturally occurring groups.

Answer 17

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH
