Answers 100% Verified
what is the goal of data saturation when sampling qualitative studies? - CORRECT
ANSWER- sampling until no new information is obtained
3 things to look for when critiquing qualitative sampling plans - CORRECT ANSWER-
adequacy - Sufficiency and quality of the data
Did researchers indicate that saturation achieved?
appropriateness - were the participants the right people chosen for the study?
description - Were key characteristics of the sample described? • Was a rich description
of the participants and context provided to support transferability?
questions to ask when critiquing qualitative data collection - CORRECT ANSWER-
1) enough information about data collection methods?
2) examples of the questions asked and observations made?
3) Were different types of information collected?
Lincoln & Guba's Framework of Quality Criteria - CORRECT ANSWER- Credibility
Dependability
-stability of the data over time and conditions
Confirmability
-would the same findings be found again?
Transferability
Authenticity
-range of realities fairly shown
theories/models in quantitative research - CORRECT ANSWER- hypothesis testing
theory-based intervention testing
theory/models in qualitative research - CORRECT ANSWER- grounded theory
phenomenology
ethnography
What makes a high quality study? - CORRECT ANSWER- -Questions that go along
with the existing evidence
, -Methods that fit the research questions
-There is a conceptual rationale for expected outcomes, including rationale for any
hypothesis
What is a theory? - CORRECT ANSWER- -describes how phenomena are related
-logical connections between concepts
-"descriptive theory" explains and thoroughly describes a phenomena
What is a Conceptual Model? - CORRECT ANSWER- a perspective on interrelated
phenomena
less structured than a theory
What is a framework? - CORRECT ANSWER- -conceptual foundation of a study
-theoretic or conceptual
grounded theory - CORRECT ANSWER- describes key social psychological
processes
makes explanations of phenomena that are grounded in reality
outcome - theory/model
phenomenology - CORRECT ANSWER- people's lived experiences and what they
mean
description of a phenomena from people who experience it
outcome - theory/model
Ethnography - CORRECT ANSWER- studying patterns of life ways of a defined
group
highly fieldwork
the life of a group under study to understand their culture/norms
outcome - theory/model
describe hypothesis testing - CORRECT ANSWER- researchers using an existing
theory/model to support hypotheses
repeated support of hypotheses = support for theory
a hypothesis not an intervention per se
describe theory-based intervention testing - CORRECT ANSWER- theory/model
used to develop an intervention
an intervention not a hypothesis per se
