”collection of information from a sample of individuals through their responses to questions”

Answer 14

SURVEY RESEARCH

Question 15

uses surveys to gather data about varying subjects

Answer 15

SURVEY RESEARCH

Question 16

data aims to know the extent to which different conditions can be obtained among these
subjects

Answer 16

SURVEY RESEARCH

Question 16

cause-and-effect relationship between a set of independent and dependent variables

Answer 16

EXPERIMENTAL

Question 17

Subjects are subjected to treatment/intervention based on a predesignated plan

Answer 17

EXPERIMENTAL

Question 17

TYPES OF EXPERIMENTAL

Answer 17

• TRUE experimental
• QUASI experimental
• SINGLE SUBJECT experimental

Question 18

resemble the experimental group but do not receive the experimental treatment.

Answer 18

CONTROL GROUP

Question 19

provides a reliable baseline data to which you can compare the experimental results

Answer 19

CONTROL GROUP

Question 20

participants who receive the experimental treatment

Answer 20

EXPERIMENTAL GROUP

Question 21

also called the predictor variable because it is the presumed cause of the differences in the outcome variable

Answer 21

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE

Question 22

also called the outcome variable because it is the outcome that the research is studying

Answer 22

DEPENDENT VARIABLE

Question 23

The researcher does not manipulate this

Answer 23

DEPENDENT VARIABLE

Question 24

participants have to be randomly assigned to the sample groups

Answer 24

RANDOM ASSIGNMENT

Question 25

each research participant must have an equal chance of being assigned to each sample group

Answer 25

RANDOM ASSIGNMENT

Question 26

either the participant or the investigator is not informed of the nature of treatment the participant is receiving

Answer 26

SINGLE BLINDING / SINGLE-MASKED

Question 27

both study population/participant and data collectors/investigators/researchers are not aware of the kind or nature of the treatment given and who receive the treatment

Answer 27

DOUBLE BLINDING / DOUBLE-MASKED

Question 28

the study participant, the data investigator or data collector and the data analyzer- all are blinded

Answer 28

TRIPLE BLINDING

Question 29

exact opposite of blinding, where all the participant, clinicians, data collectors, specialists are well known about the treatment/intervention they receiv

Answer 29

UNBLINDED / OPEN-LABEL

Question 30

SAME with True experimental but LACK of random assignment AND/OR control group

Answer 30

QUASI EXPERIMENTAL

Question 31

Allows the researcher to draw conclusions about the effects of treatment based on the response of single patient

Answer 31

SINGLE SUBJECT EXPERIMENTAL

Question 32

involve serial observations of individuals before, during, and after interventions, providing feedback that reflects clinical outcomes

Answer 32

SINGLE SUBJECT EXPERIMENTAL

Question 33

ELEMENTS OF SINGLE SUBJECT EXPERIMENTAL

Answer 33

- Repeated Measurement - Design Phases

often probes data about personal, environmental, behavioral, or genetic influences that may explain health outcomes

Answer 36

EXPLORATORY

Question 37

Subjects and variables pertaining to them are observed and described

Answer 37
