Approaches to Research III

refers to the correct rules of conduct necessary when carrying out research. We have a moral responsibility to protect research participants from harm

Define independent measures.

• an experimental design where the same participants take part in each condition of the independent variable. This means that each condition of the experiment includes the same group of participants.

• also known as between-groups, is an experimental design where different participants are used in each condition of the independent variable. This means that each condition of the experiment includes a different group of participants.

• a qualitative method of content analysis that researchers use to develop theory and identify themes by studying documents, recordings and other printed and verbal material.

• the branch of mathematics in which data are used descriptively or inferentially to find or support answers for scientific and other quantifiable questions.

Define repeated measures.

• an experimental design where the same participants take part in each condition of the independent variable. This means that each condition of the experiment includes the same group of participants.

• also known as between-groups, is an experimental design where different participants are used in each condition of the independent variable. This means that each condition of the experiment includes a different group of participants.

• a qualitative method of content analysis that researchers use to develop theory and identify themes by studying documents, recordings and other printed and verbal material.

• the branch of mathematics in which data are used descriptively or inferentially to find or support answers for scientific and other quantifiable questions.

Define inductive content analysis.

• an experimental design where the same participants take part in each condition of the independent variable. This means that each condition of the experiment includes the same group of participants.

• also known as between-groups, is an experimental design where different participants are used in each condition of the independent variable. This means that each condition of the experiment includes a different group of participants.

• the branch of mathematics in which data are used descriptively or inferentially to find or support answers for scientific and other quantifiable questions.

the branch of mathematics in which data are used descriptively or inferentially to find or support answers for scientific and other quantifiable questions.

Define reliability and validity.

• refers to the believability and reliability of information received from outside sources.

• partiality: an inclination or predisposition for or against something.

• the empirical relation between two events, states, or variables such that change in one (the cause) brings about change in the other (the effect).

• the trustworthiness or consistency of a measure, that is, the degree to which a test or other measurement instrument is free of random error, yielding the same results across multiple applications to the same sample

  the degree to which empirical evidence and theoretical rationales support the adequacy and appropriateness of conclusions drawn from some form of assessment.

Define credibility.

• refers to the believability and reliability of information received from outside sources.

• partiality: an inclination or predisposition for or against something.

• the empirical relation between two events, states, or variables such that change in one (the cause) brings about change in the other (the effect).

• the trustworthiness or consistency of a measure, that is, the degree to which a test or other measurement instrument is free of random error, yielding the same results across multiple applications to the same sample

  the degree to which empirical evidence and theoretical rationales support the adequacy and appropriateness of conclusions drawn from some form of assessment.

Define bias.

• refers to the believability and reliability of information received from outside sources.

• partiality: an inclination or predisposition for or against something.

• the empirical relation between two events, states, or variables such that change in one (the cause) brings about change in the other (the effect).

• the trustworthiness or consistency of a measure, that is, the degree to which a test or other measurement instrument is free of random error, yielding the same results across multiple applications to the same sample

  the degree to which empirical evidence and theoretical rationales support the adequacy and appropriateness of conclusions drawn from some form of assessment.

Define correlation.

• refers to the believability and reliability of information received from outside sources.

• partiality: an inclination or predisposition for or against something.

• the empirical relation between two events, states, or variables such that change in one (the cause) brings about change in the other (the effect).

• the trustworthiness or consistency of a measure, that is, the degree to which a test or other measurement instrument is free of random error, yielding the same results across multiple applications to the same sample

  the degree to which empirical evidence and theoretical rationales support the adequacy and appropriateness of conclusions drawn from some form of assessment.

the repetition of an original experiment or research study to verify or bolster confidence in its results.
