Research Methods Practice

Method of intense study of just one individual:

• Naturalistic Observation

• Experimental Study

• Case Study

• Survey

In an experiment, the ​ (a)   variable is tested by the researcher to observe its effect(s) on the ​​ (b)   variable.

• control
• experimental
• external
• independent
• dependent

A type of observation conducted in the participants' normal environment without interference from the researchers.

• Controlled observation

• Naturalistic observation

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 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 creates an immense amount of data to be gathered quickly and inexpensively.

• Survey
• Observational
• Correlational
• Experiments
• Case Study

Identify the type of relationship between weight and price.

• The price is never 0 on the graph

• As weight increases, price increases

• There is a negative linear correlation between weight and price

• The price gets high at the end of the graph

Independent variable is to dependent variable as ​ (a)   is to ​ (b)   .

• hypothesis
• conclusion
• cause
• effect

Cardinal (most important) rule of naturalistic observation:

• Setting up dependent and independent variables

• Research and find enough participants

• Not disturbing participants in the study

• Getting enough different age groups for study

If I want to gather how all students are feeling about remote learning, which method would make the most sense?

• Experimental

• Naturalistic observation

• Case study

• Survey
