EBT (test 2) UPDATED ACTUAL Questions
and CORRECT Answers
quantitative research - CORRECT ANSWER - formal, objective, rigorous, concrete,
systematic process for generating information, examines relationships among variables,
determines the effectiveness of treatment
*statistics-based!! THINK NUMBERS!!
Problem-solving process - CORRECT ANSWER - 1. Data collection
2. Define the problem
3. Plan (set goals and identify solutions)
4. Implementation
5. Evaluation and revision
Descriptive - CORRECT ANSWER - uncontrolled!!
- exploration and description of phenomena/population in real-life situations
- observing and measuring without manipulating
- new meaning is discovered and the description of concepts is accomplished
- helps identify relationships
*not very reliable
Correlational - CORRECT ANSWER - uncontrolled!!
- looks at the relationship between 2 or more variables
a. independent: does not change but you manipulate it
b. dependent: changes, affected by the independent variable
, - determines the strength of relationship and type (positive and negative)
- NO cause & effect!!
Quasi-experimental - CORRECT ANSWER - partially controlled!!
- examines cause and effect
- less control by researcher than true experimental designs
- samples are NOT randomly selected
- all variables in the study cannot be controlled by the researcher
Experimental - CORRECT ANSWER - highly controlled!!
- controlled manipulation of at least one independent variable
- uses experimental and control groups
- tightly controlled
- random assignment of the sample
basic research - CORRECT ANSWER - pure science that aims to increase the scientific
knowledge base
applied research - CORRECT ANSWER - - attempts to solve real, practical problems in
clinical practice
- studies the effects the intervention may have on patients (aka, the solution!!)
rigor - CORRECT ANSWER - striving for excellence and adherence to detail (think
quality)
precise measurement tools, representative sample, tightly controlled
