research studies - CORRECT ANSWERSoften peer reviewed by two reviewers and are
BLIND reviewed
hypotheses - CORRECT ANSWERSused when conducting experimental or quasi
experimental research in the quantitative paradigm.
A hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWERSConsists of an independent variable and a
dependent variable; these variables are described in relation to each another.
,Experimental - CORRECT ANSWERSIn a(n) ___________ design the researcher
controls (manipulates) the independent variable and randomly assigns subjects to
different conditions.
pre-experimental - CORRECT ANSWERSA(n) __________design does not include
mechanisms to compensate for the absence of either randomization or control group
quasi-experimental - CORRECT ANSWERSIn a(n) _______ design the investigator
does not randomly assign participants but does manipulate the independent variable
and controls to enhance the internal validity.
non-experimental - CORRECT ANSWERSIn a(n) ___________ design the researcher
collects data without introducing any treatment.
5. This experimental design is sometimes called a crossover design. In the repeated
measure design one group of subjects is exposed to more than one condition in random
order.
repeated measure - CORRECT ANSWERSThis experimental design is sometimes
called a crossover design. In the ________________design one group of subjects is
exposed to more than one condition in random order.
non-equivalent - CORRECT ANSWERSThis is a type of quasi-experimental design that
involves a comparison group that was not developed on the basis of random
assignment. It is called a _______________ control group design.
retrospective study - CORRECT ANSWERSA(n) ________________ begins with the
occurrence of the dependent variable in the present and then links this effect to some
presumed cause which occurred in the past.
dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWERSThe outcome factor; the variable that may
change in response to manipulations of the independent variable.
experimental study - CORRECT ANSWERSthe researcher manipulates one of the
variables and tries to determine how the manipulation influences other variables
hypthesis - CORRECT ANSWERSexplanation of observations that are testable through
experimentation or observation, educated guess
independent variable - CORRECT ANSWERSThe experimental factor that is
manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied.
Non-experimental - CORRECT ANSWERSWithout the use of a comparison or control
group, has little control over the factors that affect the validity of the results.
,quasi-experimental design - CORRECT ANSWERSAn experiment that does not require
random assignment to conditions.
Hypotheses - CORRECT ANSWERSstatements about a relationship between two or
more variables
Independent variable - CORRECT ANSWERSAlso known as the treatment
the variable that is manipulated
Dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWERSIs the outcome
is caused by the independent variable
Research studies in the quantitative paradigm - CORRECT ANSWERSThree main
types:
Experimental, quasi experimental, nonexperimental
in an experimental design - CORRECT ANSWERSThe researcher manipulates the
independent variable or introduces an intervention
Subjects are randomly assigned to a treatment or a control group
(Randomized controlled trial)
(May be used to test a new drug)
A Quasi experimental design - CORRECT ANSWERSdiffers slightly from experimental
subjects are not randomly assigned to reatment or a control group
the researcher is still manipulating the independent variable or introducing an
intervention
non-experimental research - CORRECT ANSWERSWhen a researcher collects data
without manipulating the independent variable or introducing an intervention it is.... (eg
survey research)
etymology - CORRECT ANSWERSthe study of word origins
Ethnography - CORRECT ANSWERSthe scientific description of the customs of
individual peoples and cultures.
grounded theory - CORRECT ANSWERSan inductive method of generating theory from
data by creating categories in which to place data and then looking for relationships
among categories
, Hermeneutics - CORRECT ANSWERSthe branch of knowledge that deals with
interpretation, especially of the Bible or literary texts.
Indigenous Research Methods - CORRECT ANSWERSIndigenous ways of knowing,
living in and learning about the world.
Narrative Inquiry - CORRECT ANSWERSresearch that views stories - whether
gathered through field notes, interviews, oral tales, blogs, letters, or autobiographies -
as fundamental to human experience.
phenomena - CORRECT ANSWERSobservable facts; subjects of scientific
investigation
Qualitative studies - CORRECT ANSWERSinvolve the exploration of phenomena
methods or designs used in qualitative paradigm - CORRECT ANSWERSEthnography,
phenomenology, grounded theory,
other common methods for exploring qualitative research questions - CORRECT
ANSWERSNarrative inquiry, hermeneutics, and the qualitative descriptive approach
qualitative research approaches - CORRECT ANSWERSApproaches that are
continually emerging
ANSWER: B Phenomenology
Quinn's study focuses on a lived experience that would likely be explored using a
descriptive phenomenologic approach. - CORRECT ANSWERS1. Quinn studied the
experience of learning about a parent's cancer diagnosis, from the perspective of
adolescents aged 15 to 18 years.
ANSWER: A Ethnography
Petrik's study focuses on how members of a particular American subculture provide
end-of-life care. - CORRECT ANSWERS2. Petrik studied end-of-life caregiving for
elders living on a Hopi Reservation in Arizona.
ANSWER: B Phenomenology
Futterer likely used an interpretive phenomenologic approach to study what respite
meant to caregivers who care for a family member with dementia. - CORRECT
ANSWERS3. Futterer studied the meaning of the respite experience of family
caregivers of patients with dementia.
ANSWER: C Grounded Theory
Viator's study focuses on the process of decision making and following through on a
decision and would most likely use grounded theory methods - CORRECT
