What is the main purpose of using surveys in research?

• To control for confounding variables

• To gather information easy to obtain through other techniques

• To gather information difficult to obtain through other techniques

• To conduct experiments

What do surveys provide for the population?

• Exact measurements

• Estimates

• Predictions

• Correlations

What is a key characteristic of case studies?

• They can be easily replicated

• They provide a broad overview

• They emphasize in-depth content

• They focus on external validity

In what setting is data collected for case studies?

• Natural setting and context

• Controlled laboratory setting

• Artificial environment

• Virtual reality environment

Why are case studies considered more flexible than other types of research?

• Because they are easier to conduct

• Because they allow for replication

• Because they allow the researcher to discover and explore

• Because they provide exact measurements

What is a limitation of case studies?

• They are not suitable for qualitative data

• They cannot be replicated

• They lack internal validity

• They are time-consuming

When are case studies used in research?

• When the research study requires quantitative and qualitative data

• When the researcher has no prior knowledge of the responses likely to emerge

• When the information sought is unfamiliar to the respondents

• When the research study requires only quantitative data
