MKT 640 / MKT640 RESEARCH AND RECOMMENDATIONS Question 1 The researcher’s goal when writing the discussion section is to: Record all of the previous literature on the current topic Make this section as succinct as possible Avoid taking a theoretical approach Examine, interpret, and draw inferences from the results Question 2 The overall purpose of this section is: Unethical acts of research How to write a results section with complex statistical analyses The scientific method approach To learn how to construct a discussion section addressing the development of findings and recommendations Question 3 What must the researcher report in the discussion section? (choose 2) The specific measures used Ways to mitigate confounding variables The methodology used Limitations of the study Question 4 Imagine a research study has been conducted on implementing a new exercise plan in order to increase energy levels of employees at work. The findings of the study found that older adults did not benefit from the exercise plan compared to younger adults. In the recommendations section, which of the following statement(s) could the researcher potentially suggest? (choose 2) Explain that the study has controlled for all variables and that it impossible to make the study better Conduct a new study with an improved exercise plan for all age groups Suggest that the researcher attempted to control for all variables Run a new study controlling for confounding variables such as health problems Question 5 When someone reads the discussion section of a research paper, they should be informed about: (choose 2) Tables that the researcher used to display the data The goal of the current study The results of the hypotheses under investigation The detailed statistical procedures utilized Question 1 The overall purpose of this section is: How to write a results section with complex statistical analyses To learn how to construct a discussion section addressing the development of findings and recommendations The scientific method approach What to include in a literature review Question 2 Imagine a research study has been conducted on implementing a new exercise plan in order to increase energy levels of employees at work. The findings of the study found that older adults did not benefit from the exercise plan compared to younger adults. In the recommendations section, which of the following statement(s) could the researcher potentially suggest? (choose 2) Suggest that the researcher attempted to control for all variables Explain that the study has controlled for all variables and that it impossible to make the study better Conduct a new study with an improved exercise plan for all age groups Run a new study controlling for confounding variables such as health problems Question 3 Which of the following statement(s) is false regarding the discussion section? (choose 2) The researcher summarizes the results and states whether or not they supported the hypotheses The researcher provides the statistical computations The researcher states the similarities and differences between their findings and other researchers’ findings The researcher goes into detail about the specific statistical tests used Question 4 Imagine a research study has been conducted on implementing a new exercise plan in order to increase energy levels of employees at work. The findings of the study found that older adults did not benefit from the exercise plan compared to younger adults. In the discussion section, the researcher would most likely: (choose 2) Not explain the overall findings in detail Explain the reasons why the results suggest this finding Provide tables with the appropriate data of the results Draw inferences to the population regarding the implantation of this exercise plan Question 5 Why is it important to provide recommendations? (choose 2) To make the study better in order to better understand the concept To find support for the hypotheses To cancel out extraneous variables in future studies Question 6 What must the researcher report in the discussion section? (choose 2) Ways to mitigate confounding variables The methodology used Limitations of the study The specific measures used Question 7 What does making inferences about the results mean? Stating how the Institutional Review Board feels about the validity of the results Drawing conclusions from a research study to only the sample of people recruited Drawing conclusions from a research study to a population of people Stating how the researcher feels about the results Question 8 The researcher’s goal when writing the discussion section is to: Reference all of the studies used in the study Examine, interpret, and draw inferences from the results Make this section as succinct as possible Record all of the previous literature on the current topic Question 1 How are the discussion section and the introduction section similar? (choose 2) They both list the limitations of the study They both provide recommendations for other researchers They both address how the current study will augment research They both talk about the findings of previous research Question 1 The researcher’s goal when writing the discussion section is to: Reference all of the studies used in the study Record all of the previous literature on the current topic Avoid taking a theoretical approach Examine, interpret, and draw inferences from the results Question 2 When someone reads the discussion section of a research paper, they should be informed about: (choose 2) Tables that the researcher used to display the data The goal of the current study The results of the hypotheses under investigation The number of participants of the study Question 3 What must the researcher report in the discussion section? (choose 2) The specific measures used Limitations of the study The implications of the study The methodology used Question 4 What is the purpose of the recommendations? In order to assure accurate findings In order to appreciate the help received from other researchers on projects In order for researchers to take the information given and construct new studies in order to further augment the construct under investigation For researchers to report unethical acts Question 5 Which of the following statement(s) is false regarding the discussion section? (choose 2) The researcher states the similarities and differences between their findings and other researchers’ findings The researcher provides the statistical computations The researcher summarizes the results and states whether or not they supported the hypotheses The researcher goes into detail about the specific statistical tests used Question 6 Researchers report the recommendations and the development of the findings: At the end of the paper, before the references Before the researcher runs the analyses At the end of the paper, after the references Right after the introduction Question 7 Imagine a research study has been conducted on implementing a new exercise plan in order to increase energy levels of employees at work. The findings of the study found that older adults did not benefit from the exercise plan compared to younger adults. In the recommendations section, which of the following statement(s) could the researcher potentially suggest? (choose 2) Suggest that the researcher attempted to control for all variables Run a new study controlling for confounding variables such as health problems Conduct a new study with an improved exercise plan for all age groups Suggest no replication of the study View solution Question 8 Imagine a research study has been conducted on implementing a new exercise plan in order to increase energy levels of employees at work. The findings of the study found that older adults did not benefit from the exercise plan compared to younger adults. In the discussion section, the researcher would most likely: (choose 2) Not explain the overall findings in detail Recapitulate the background research of exercise and energy levels and state which hypotheses were supported Draw inferences to the population regarding the implantation of this exercise plan Provide tables with the appropriate data of the results
