Chapter 11 and readings Flashcards
The simplest reason for sampling is____.
It may not be feasible or physically possible to collect dtat from everyone involved in an evaluation because of time or financial constraints
_______ sample definitions use other constructs to describe who will be in the study.
Conceptual
______sample definitions describle exactly how the evaluator will determine who will be in the study.
Operational
________ is the group to whom you wish to generalize your results
Target population
______ list of people who match the conceptual definitation
experimentally accessible population
________ is the list of people in the experimentally accessible population
Sampling frame
_____match between accesible population and target population
Population validity
A voluntary consent without threat or undue inducement; it includes knowing what a reasonable person would want to know
Informed consent
_______ cannot sign a consent form without a legal guardian.
Children, under the age of 18
Older people with mental decline
What are ways that evaluators can determine informed consent for individuals with mental illness based upon APA?
Ask the person to give an advanced directive when symptoms do not impair his or her ability to do so, asking family members, advocates, or surrogates to safeguard the person’s interests.
Ensure treatments are not worsening the condition.
Informed consent in ________ contexts can be affected by a myriad of cultural and power-related issues.
Indigenous
The __________ identifies the ethical princple of respect is interpreted in ensuring the confidentiality of the participants.
Belmont Report
_______ means collecting, analyzing, storing, and reporting data in such a way that data cannot be traced back to the individual who provides them.
Confidentiality
______means that no uniquely identifiable information is attached to the data; no one, not even the evaluator, can trace the data to the individual.
Anonymity
Use of ______ and _____ as explanatory variables should be critically examined to determine whether they are standing as proxies for other causal variables such as poverty, unemployement, or family structure.
Race and ethnicity
The APA has established guidelines for working in 4 racial ethinic communities:____
Persons of African descent
Hispanics
Asian American/Pacific Islander populations
American Indians
The Disabilities Education IMprovement Act of 2004 defines 13 categories of diabilities
Learning disability speech or language impairment intellectual disbility emotional disturbance multiple disabilities hearing impairment deafness orthopedic impairment other health impairment visual impairment autism deaf-blind TBI
What are the 7 areas that learning disability can be manifested?
imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do mathematical calculations
The US DEPT OF EDUC suggests that learning disabilities be identified through a process known as “response to intervention” rather than relying on______.
a single test or a battery of tests
Explain how each branch views appropriate strategies for sampling:
Methods-probability-based approaches
Use-those who can provide the most useful information
values-use theoretical or pruposeful sampling strategies
Social Justice-use a combination of strategies
________________involves the selection of a sample from a population in a way that allows for an estimation of the amount of possible bias and sampling error.
Probability-based sampling
_________ is the difference between the sample and the population.
Sampling error
_______ are those which every member of a population has a known nonzero probability of being included in the sample
Random samples
What are some types of probability based sampling strategies?
Random digit dialing simple random sampling systematic sampling multistage sampling cluster sampling stratified sampling
What kind of sampling strategy begins with a random start, includes that element, and then includes every nth name off a list? A. Interval sampling B. Systematic sampling C. Random digit sampling D. Multistage sampling
b
What is the definition of a sampling frame in your textbook (Mertens and Wilson)?
A. The target population of your study
B. List of all the people in the experimentally accessible population.
C. The people you plan to observe
D. None of the above
B
What is the simplest rationale for sampling?
A. It is unwise to collect data from everyone involved in the evaluation.
B. You must include both males and females in all samples
C. The methodology requires that you sample the entire population when collecting data.
D. It is not feasible to collect data from everyone involved in the evaluation.
D
Which major sampling option is more commonly used in the Values Branch? A. Probability-based sampling B. Multistage sampling C. Theoretical/Purposeful sampling D. Simple Random Sampling
C
According to your text, the “myth of homogeneity” means assuming that all people within a particular subgroup are similar to each other in terms of their other background characteristics, or at least sufficiently similar that you do not have to focus on those differences.
A. True
B. False
True
Which sampling strategy uses cases that can make a point dramatically or are important for other reasons? A. Stratified random sampling B. Critical case sampling C. Homogeneous sampling D. Politically important case sampling
B
