research studies correct answer: often peer reviewed by two reviewers and are BLIND reviewed hypotheses correct answer: used when conducting experimental or quasi experimental research in the quantitative paradigm. A hypothesis correct answer: Consists of an independent variable and a dependent variable; these variables are described in relation to each another. Experimental correct answer: In a(n) ___________ design the researcher controls (manipulates) the independent variable and randomly assigns subjects to different conditions. pre-experimental correct answer: A(n) __________design does not include mechanisms to compensate for the absence of either randomization or control group quasi-experimental correct answer: In a(n) _______ design the investigator does not randomly assign participants but does manipulate the independent variable and controls to enhance the internal validity. non-experimental correct answer: In a(n) ___________ design the researcher collects data without introducing any treatment. 5. This experimental design is sometimes called a crossover design. In the repeated measure design one group of subjects is exposed to more than one condition in random order. repeated measure correct answer: This experimental design is sometimes called a crossover design. In the ________________design one group of subjects is exposed to more than one condition in random order. non-equivalent correct answer: This is a type of quasi-experimental design that involves a comparison group that was not developed on the basis of random assignment. It is called a _______________ control group design. retrospective study correct answer: A(n) ________________ begins with the occurrence of the dependent variable in the present and then links this effect to some presumed cause which occurred in the past. dependent variable correct answer: The outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable. experimental study correct answer: the researcher manipulates one of the variables and tries to determine how the manipulation influences other variables hypthesis correct answer: explanation of observations that are testable through experimentation or observation, educated guess independent variable correct answer: The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied. Non-experimental correct answer: Without the use of a comparison or control group, has little control over the factors that affect the validity of the results. quasi-experimental design correct answer: An experiment that does not require random assignment to conditions. Hypotheses correct answer: statements about a relationship between two or more variables Independent variable correct answer: Also known as the treatment the variable that is manipulated Dependent variable correct answer: Is the outcome is caused by the independent variable Research studies in the quantitative paradigm correct answer: Three main types: Experimental, quasi experimental, nonexperimental in an experimental design correct answer: The researcher manipulates the independent variable or introduces an intervention Subjects are randomly assigned to a treatment or a control group (Randomized controlled trial) (May be used to test a new drug) A Quasi experimental design correct answer: differs slightly from experimental subjects are not randomly assigned to reatment or a control group the researcher is still manipulating the independent variable or introducing an intervention non-experimental research correct answer: When a researcher collects data without manipulating the independent variable or introducing an intervention it is.... (eg survey research) etymology correct answer: the study of word origins Ethnography correct answer: the scientific description of the customs of individual peoples and cultures. grounded theory correct answer: an inductive method of generating theory from data by creating categories in which to place data and then looking for relationships among categories Hermeneutics correct answer: the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation, especially of the Bible or literary texts. Indigenous Research Methods correct answer: Indigenous ways of knowing, living in and learning about the world. Narrative Inquiry correct answer: research that views stories - whether gathered through field notes, interviews, oral tales, blogs, letters, or autobiographies - as fundamental to human experience. phenomena correct answer: observable facts; subjects of scientific investigation Qualitative studies correct answer: involve the exploration of phenomena methods or designs used in qualitative paradigm correct answer: Ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, other common methods for exploring qualitative research questions correct answer: Narrative inquiry, hermeneutics, and the qualitative descriptive approach qualitative research approaches correct answer: Approaches that are continually emerging ANSWER: B Phenomenology Quinn's study focuses on a lived experience that would likely be explored using a descriptive phenomenologic approach. correct answer: 1. Quinn studied the experience of learning about a parent's cancer diagnosis, from the perspective of adolescents aged 15 to 18 years. ANSWER: A Ethnography Petrik's study focuses on how members of a particular American subculture provide end-of-life care. correct answer: 2. Petrik
