,In this type of probability sample, individuals are randomly selected from a
sampling frame designed to ensure that each person will have an equal chance of
being selected (e.g. use of a hat or a random numbers table)
• Systematic Random Sample
• Snowball Sample
• Convenience Sample
• Simple Random Sample
• Quota Sample
The following is an example of what level of
measurement? Level of education:
High school
diploma/GED Some
college
College degree
Graduate/professional
degree
• Ordinal (A)
• Ratio (C)
• Interval (B)
• Nominal (D)
An advantage to using random sampling techniques is that it allows the researcher
to:
• Establish reliability
• Select the most intelligent participants for our study
• Operationalize variables
• Generalize to other populations
• Determine the results
The process by which a researcher defines the meaning of a concept or variable is
known as:
• Reliability
• Conceptualization
• Generalization
• Operationalization (NOT this one)
• Specification
Dr. Banks wants to study how long patients stay in a mental health facility. He looks
at admission data from the facility and discovers there are 252 patients. To recruit
participants, he selects every 9th patient on the admission list. Which sampling
method is being used:
• Cluster random sampling
• Stratified random sampling
• Systematic random sampling
, • Snowball sampling
• Purposive sampling
Race/ethnicity is an example of what level of measurement?
• Ratio
• Ordinal
• Validity
• Interval
• Nominal
When determining how accurate research is in capturing some phenomenon (e.g.,
level of depression), researchers are concerned about:
• Reliability
• Validity
• Causality
• Objectivity
• Evaluation
Operationalization is the process of defining a variable into measurable factors.
• True
• False
Professor Snow developed a new assessment measure to assess levels of
victimization. He wants to ensure that the items in the measure reflect the five
domains of victimization mostly common noted in the literature. He would want
to test for:
• Validity
• Concurrent validity (NOT this one)
• Content validity
• Criterion validity
• Inter-rater reliability
Your peers decide to conduct a research project to find out whether people would
support a bill to legalize marijuana in Florida. Given that you have to complete the
project in 4 weeks, what is the best sampling approach to use:
