Q

True experimental: Randomisation for both experimental group and control group then both of them will be observed. Then your experimental group will receive a
treatment while none for the control group. Then, both of them will be observed.

22
Q

True experimental: There will be four groups then all of them will be randomized.
1. The first two groups, experimental group and control
group, will be observed and only the experimental
group of the first group will receive the treatment.
Both of them will be observed.
2. While in the second batch, experimental group 2 and
control group 2, won’t be observed but the experimental group will receive the treatment. Both of them will be observed afterwards.

treatment; then will be observed at a specific time period after receiving the treatment.
A. Time series
B. Multiple time series

B. Multiple time series

25
TRUE OR FALSE: The advantages of using a statistical research design are specific extraneous variables can be statistically controlled, and each test unit can be measured more than once.
True
26
The extent to which the outcomes are consistent when the experiment is repeated more than once.
Reliability
27
The extent to which the instruments that are used in the experiment to measure exactly what you want them to measure.
Validity
28
A study design where a specific questionnaire is developed, then a group of experts will validate it before applying it to a population to check for its reliability.
Psychometric study design -Development/Transition → Validity → Reliability
29
TRUE OR FALSE: The exclusion criteria is just the opposite of the inclusion criteria.
False
30
TRUE OR FALSE: Both inclusion and exclusion criteria are based on literature found when writing introduction and literature search.
True
31

39
Unbiased samples: Take the population, then divide it into groups of similar people. Within each group, take a sample and combine all to get the sample. A. Stratified random sampling B. Multistage sampling C. Simple random sampling

B. Multistage sampling
41
Non-probability sampling: The researcher can control for the potential confounding effect of known characteristics of a population by guiding the sampling process so that an adequate number of subjects are obtained for each stratum. E.g., if you have a similar age group, you will get several representatives of this age group. A. Quota sampling B. Purposive sampling C. Snowballing sampling D. Convenience sampling
A. Quota sampling
42
