May lack the depth and context provided by qualitative data

Answer 18

Limited Depth

Question 19

Structured nature can limit flexibility in exploring new or unexpected phenomena

Answer 19

Rigidity

Answer 21

Participant Response

Question 22

Often neglects the context and nuances of the research setting

Answer 22

Question 23

Describes characteristics of a population or phenomenon

Answer 23

Descriptive Research

Question 24

• provides a comprehensive overview of the current state
• cannot determine cause-and-effect relationship

Answer 24

Descriptive Research

Question 25

examines the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating them

Answer 25

Correlational Research

Question 26

- identifies relationship and patterns - cannot establish causation

Answer 26

Correlational Research

Question 27

involves manipulating one variable to determine its effect on another variable

Answer 27

Experimental Research

Question 28

- can establish cause-and-effect relationship - may be artificial and not generalizable to real-world settings

Answer 28

Experimental Research

Question 29

Similar to experimental research but lacks random assignment

Answer 29

Quasi-Experimental Research

Variable

Question 32

- variables that are manipulated or categorized to determine their effect on dependent variables - to establish cause and effect relationships by observing how changes in the IV affect the DV

Answer 32

Independent Variable

Question 33

- variables that are measured to see how they are influenced by the Iv - to observe and measure the outcome or response in an experiment

Answer 33

Dependent Variable

Question 34
