Explanation: A) Phenomenology is research that investigates people's life experiences and how
T T T T T T T T T T T
they interpret those experiences. Using prior coping skills (life experiences) and
T T T T T T T T T T T
applying them to current situations in order to interpret the process of Alzheimer's
T T T T T T T T T T T T T
disease is an example of phenomenology. Grounded theory is research to
T T T T T T T T T T T
understand social structures and social processes. Ethnography is research that
T T T T T T T T T T
provides a framework to focus on the culture of a group of people. Substantive
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
dimension is not a research tradition, rather a way to critique research reports.

Explanation: A) The dependent variable is the behavior, characteristic, or outcome that the
T T T T T T T T T T T T
researcher wishes to explain or predict. The independent variable is the presumed
T T T T T T T T T T T T
cause of or influence on the dependent variable. In this situation, the prediction is
T T T T T T T T T T T T T T
the success on NCLEX®. All the other options would be examples of independent

variables, or those things that cause or have an influence on the dependent
