◉ Ronald Fisher. Answer: noted for adding structure to the steps of
quantitative research precess with ideas such as hypothesis,
research design, and statistical analysis.
◉ Quantitative research. Answer: a formal, objective, rigorous,
systemic process for generating numerical information about the
world.
◉ Why is quantitative research conducted?. Answer: to describe
new situations, events, or concept, examine relationships among
variables, and determine the effectiveness of treatments in the world
◉ Four types of quantitative research. Answer: Descriptive
Correlational
Quasi- experimental (Campbell and Stanley)
Experimental
◉ Descriptive Research. Answer: The exploration and description of
phenomena in real- life situations
, ◉ Correlational Research. Answer: The systematic investigation of
relationships between or among variables
◉ How is the correlation analysis rated?. Answer: the strength of the
relationship ranges from -1(perfect negative correlation) to
+1(perfect positive correlation) and 0 indicates no relationship
◉ Primary intent of correlational studies is to:. Answer: Explain the
nature of relationships in the real world, not to determine cause and
effect
◉ Quasi- experimental Reseach. Answer: Examine causal
relationships or determine the effect of one variable on another
In nursing - determine the effects of nursing treatments or
interventions on patients
◉ What is the level of control in a quasi- experimental study?.
Answer: lack a certain amount of control over the manipulation of
the treatment, managment of the setting, and/or selection of the
subjects
◉ Expeimental Research. Answer: an objective, systemic, hghly
