ANSWERS (VERIFIED ANSWERS) ALREADY GRADED A+
Peer Review Ans✓✓✓the process of subjecting research to the appraisal
of a neutral third party. Common processes of peer review include
selecting research for conferences and evaluating research manuscripts
for publication
Replication Ans✓✓✓Repeating a specific study in detail on a different
sample. When a study has been replicated several times and similar
results are found, the evidence can be used with more confidence
Blinded Peer Review Ans✓✓✓The reviewer remains unaware of the
researcher's identity. A research report is subjected to appraisal by a
neutral party who is unassociated with the research and unaware of the
report's authorship. Reviewers determine whether the study process and

External Validity Ans✓✓✓The ability to generalize the findings from a
research study to other populations, places, and situations
Quantitative Research Ans✓✓✓A traditional approach to research in
which variables are identified and measured in a reliable and valid way
(numerical)
Paradigm Ans✓✓✓An overall belief system or way of viewing the

Qualitative Research Ans✓✓✓A naturalistic approach to research in
which the focus is on understanding the meaning of an experience from
the individual's perspective (Non-numerical- meanings/beliefs)
