CP Research Methods

This research method is a descriptive technique in which one individual or group is studied in depth in the hope of revealing universal principles

• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments

This is a method of research where the researcher carefully and systematically observes and records behavior without interfering

• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey

This research method is a measure of the extent to which two variables change together, and thus of how well either variable predicts the other

• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational

This is a method of research where an investigator manipulates one or more factors (independent variables) to observe the effect on some behavior or mental process (the dependent variable).

• Experiments
• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational

The advantage of this descriptive method of research is that it yields a great deal of detailed descriptive information and they are very useful in forming a hypothesis

• Case Study
• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments

Which kind of study can establish a cause-effect relationship between variables, assuming that the research is appropriate and well conceived?

• survey
• case study
• correlational study
• experiment

The population in a research study is...

• the whole group of research interest.
• the smaller group that has been chosen from the group of research interest.
• exactly the same as the sample.
• always smaller than the sample.

What is a hypothesis?

• a testable prediction

• an absolute solution

• a random guess

• an experiment

What is replication?

• cloning the scientist who first did an experiment

• doing an experiment for the first time

• doing an experiment again and getting different results

• Doing an experiment again and getting the same results

If an experiment doesn't provide the same results, it could mean...

• the first experiment was fine, publish the results

• the first experiment was flawed, retest

• the second experiment is fine, publish the results

• the second experiment was flawed and must be thrown out
