Practical Research 2

What is the limitation of correlational research regarding causation?

• Correlational research can establish direct cause-and-effect relationships.

• Correlational research cannot justify conclusions about causation; it only identifies relationships.

• Correlational research is the only method used in scientific studies.

• Correlational research requires experimental manipulation of variables.

What does correlational research test?

• The difference between two groups

• The relationship between two variables and how one affects the other

• The cause-and-effect relationship of a single variable

• The statistical significance of a hypothesis

What are the strengths of quantitative research?

• Allows broader study

• Research can be replicated and compared with similar studies

• Personal bias can be avoided

• Provides subjective insights

What does a negative correlation indicate?

• A negative correlation indicates that when one variable decreases, the other also decreases.

• A negative correlation indicates that when one variable increases, the other also increases.

• A negative correlation indicates that there is no relationship between the variables.

• A negative correlation indicates that one variable has no effect on the other.

What is survey research?

• A method of collecting data through direct observation of subjects.

• A technique for analyzing historical documents and artifacts.

• A process of gathering information by asking respondents questions through interviews or questionnaires.

• A statistical method used to predict future trends based on past data.

What is descriptive research?

• A method to analyze past events and predict future outcomes.

• A type of research that focuses on the relationships between variables.

• Descriptive research is used to obtain information concerning the current status of phenomena, describing 'what' exists with respect to variables or conditions.

• An experimental approach to test hypotheses and establish cause-effect relationships.

What is the focus of quantitative research?

• Measuring social reality and finding out quantities in something.

• Exploring individual experiences and subjective meanings.

• Understanding cultural contexts and social phenomena.

• Analyzing historical events and their impacts.

What does a positive correlation indicate?

• A positive correlation indicates that when one variable increases, the other also increases.

• A positive correlation indicates that when one variable increases, the other decreases.

• A positive correlation indicates that there is no relationship between the variables.

• A positive correlation indicates that both variables remain constant.

What is experimental research?

• A method that involves observing subjects in their natural environment.

• A type of research that focuses on qualitative data and interviews.

• Experimental research reveals a cause and effect relationship by systematically manipulating one independent variable.

• A research approach that relies solely on theoretical frameworks without practical application.

What is the purpose of causal comparative research?

• To establish a cause and effect relationship between different groups affected by the same circumstance.

• To compare the effectiveness of different treatments in a clinical trial.

• To analyze the statistical significance of a single variable.

• To gather qualitative data through interviews and observations.
