A

Inverted triangle

40
Q

uses interviews, questionnaires, and sampling polls to get a sense of behavior with intense precision. It allows researchers to judge behavior and then present the findings in an accurate way. This is usually expressed in a percentage. Survey research can be conducted around one group specifically or used to compare several groups. When conducting survey research, it is important that the people questioned are sampled at random. This allows for more accurate findings across a greater spectrum of respondents. (Klazema, 2014)

A

SURVEY/DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH

41
Q

seeks to describe the current status of an identified variable or phenomenon. The researcher does not usually begin with a hypothesis but is likely to develop one after collecting data. Analysis and synthesis of the data provide the test of the hypothesis. Systematic collection of information requires careful selection of the units studied and measurement of each variable in order to demonstrate validity. (Baltimore County Public Schools 2010)

Q

tests for the relationships between two variables. Performing correlational research is done to establish what is the effect of one on the other might be and how that affects the relationship. research is conducted in order to explain a noticed occurrence.

A

Correlational research

46
Q

Who is the author of this info?

CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH tests for
the relationships between two variables. Performing correlational research is done to establish what is the effect of one on the other might be and how that affects the relationship. Correlational research is conducted in order to explain a noticed occurrence.

A

(Klazema, 2014)

47
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

In correlational research, the survey is conducted on a minimum of two groups. In most correlational research, there is a level of manipulation involved with the specific variables being researched. Once information is compiled it is then analyzed the mathematically to draw conclusions about the effect that one has on the other.

A

True

48
Q

• The relationship between intelligence and self- esteem.

• The relationship between diet and anxiety. The relationship between an aptitude test and success in an algebra course.

A

Correlational research

Q

IDENTIFY WHAT KIND OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH THIS

• The covariance of smoking and lung disease.
• (Baltimore County Public Schools, 2010) The relationship between intelligence and self- esteem.

A

Correlational research

50
Q

also known as Causal-Comparative Research looks to uncover a cause-and-effect relationship. This research is not conducted between the two groups on each other. Rather than look solely for a statistical relationship between two variables it tries to identify, specifically, how the different groups are affected by the same circumstance.

A

QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

51
Q

______________ research involves comparison In ____________ research the study of two or more groups is done without focusing on their relationship

A

causal-comparative

52
Q

attempts to establish cause effect relationships among the variables. These types of design are very similar to true experiments, but with some key differences. An independent variable is identified but not manipulated by the experimenter, and effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable are measured. The researcher does not randomly assign groups and must use ones that are naturally formed or pre existing groups

A

Causal-comparative/quasi experimental research

53
Q

IDENTIFY WHAT KIND OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH THIS

• The effect of an aerobic exercise program on children’s rates of obesity.

• The effect of part-time employment on the achievement of high school students.

A

Causal-comparative / quasi-experimental research

54
Q

IDENTIFY WHAT KIND OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH THIS

The effect of age on lung capacity. (Baltimore County Public Schools, 2010).

The effect of preschool attendance on social maturity at the end of the first grade

A

Causal-comparative / quasi-experimental research

55
Q

often called true experimentation, uses the scientific method to establish the cause-effect relationship among a group of variables that make up a study. The true experiment is often thought of as a laboratory study, but this is not always the case; a laboratory setting has nothing to do with it.

A

EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH

56
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

A true experiment is any study where an effort is made to identify and impose control over all other variables except one. An independent variable is manipulated to determine the effects on the dependent variables. Subjects are randomly assigned to experimental treatments rather than identified in naturally occurring groups

A

True

57
Q

• The effect of a new-treatment plan on breast cancer.

• The effect of a systematic preparation and support system on children who were scheduled for surgery on the amount of psychological upset and cooperation.

• The effect of a new treatment plan on breast cancer.

A

Experimental research
