Research Methods

What best describes inter- researcher/ observer reliability?

• Examines whether different researchers in the same situation would get the same or similar results.

• Examines whether different researchers in the same situation would ensure effective research

• Examines whether different researchers in the same situation would ensure effective findings

Test- retest reliability concerns itself with...

• Conducting the same test but ensuring high ecological validity

• Conducting the same test but ensuring different results

• Conducting the same test but ensuring validity is high

• Conducting the same test but ensuring similar results on different occasions

Ecological validity is...

• The extent to which the test is measuring as it asking, such as the component of fitness being looked at

• The extent to which the results can be controlled within your own powers

• The extent to which the results of the study can be applied to real- world settings

• The extent to which the results of the study can be generalised and applied to other people

If a test is looking to measure the effects that caffeine has on performance, what would you do to ensure internal validity is adhered to?

Accuracy...

• relates to how close your measurement is to the gold standard of what you are trying to measure

• is any measurement you have that may have some unpredictability

What is the difference between primary and secondary data?

Evidence- based practice allows you to safely and effectively plan your specific activity for whatever that may be?

• True

• False

• Inconclusive

Evidence- based activity is what?

• A way of using literature and evidence that has proven to work in activity

• A way of using high validity and high reliability in activity to find gaps in research

How would you define evidence- based activity?

What is the most important part of research

• Literature searching

• Rationale

• Hypothesis

• Primary/ secondary data research
