observations.
Of the following, all are examples of difficulties faced by survey researchers as noted in your text EXCEPT
surveys aren’t often used in educational research
development of a questionnaire is difficult.
response rates are often low.
people don’t like to complete surveys.
Correlational studies are used primarily to
examine relationships among variables.
examine if differences between groups exist.
determine causal relationships.
determine if experimental treatments work.
Correlation studies must include
two or more levels of independent variable.
two or more variables and one group.
three or more variables and two groups.
one independent variable and two dependent variables
Of the following research topics, which is most likely to represent a correlation study?
The mathematics activities found in a sixth-grade math class.
The teaching philosophy of a new mathematics teacher.
The predictive ability of mathematics grades in later math class enrollment
The differences in mathematics grades based upon parents’ educational level.
Ex post facto research is a term generally used to describe ________ research.
descriptive
correlational
causal-comparative
experimental
Compared to all other types of research, experimental research
requires greater number of participants.
provides evidence concerning cause-effect relationships.
measures dependent and independent variables.
collects samples to generalize to populations.
In experimental studies, but NOT in other studies,
the researcher manipulates the dependent variables.
the researcher manipulates the independent variables.
the researcher tries to eliminate the effects of extraneous variables.
the researcher examines a priori differences between groups.
One similarity between causal-comparative and correlational research is that both
can determine causal events.
can be treated as a type of descriptive research.
attempt to establish causes.
rely on the same research procedures.

A pilot study is where.....
This is where a large sample of pilots are studied
A pilot study is an initial run-through of the procedures to be used in an investigation. Through this method any flaws in the procedures designed by the researcher can be identified
A pilot study are in-depth investigations of a single person, group, event or community.
A pilot study involves using different groups of people who differ in the variable of interest but share other characteristics, such as socioeconomic status, educational background, and ethnicity
What is a laboratory experiment?
A laboratory experiment is where neither the participant nor the experimenter are aware of which group each participant belongs to.
Laboratory experiments are done in the everyday (i.e. real life) environment of the participants.
A laboratory experiment is an experiment conducted under highly controlled conditions, where accurate measurements are possible and uses a standardised procedure
A laboratory is an empirical study in which individuals (or clusters of individuals) are exposed to the experimental and control conditions that are determined by nature or by other factors outside the control of the investigators
What is a Natural experiment?
Natural experiments are conducted in the everyday (i.e. real life) environment of the participants, but here the experimenter has no control over the independent variable as it occurs naturally in real life.
Natural experiments are done in the everyday (i.e. real life) environment of the participants. The experimenter still manipulates the independent variable, but in a real-life setting (so cannot really control extraneous variables).
A natural experiment is an experiment conducted under highly controlled conditions, where accurate measurements are possible.
A study where everything is 100% natural
What is a Quasi-experiment?
A Quasi-experiment is an experimental procedure in which neither the participant nor the experimenter are aware of which group (i.e., experimental or control) each participant belongs to.
A Quasi-experiment is a specific research procedure in which the researchers (and those involved in the study) do not tell the participants if they are being given a test treatment or a control treatment.
Quasi-experiment research involves the manipulation of an independent variable without the random assignment of participants to conditions or orders of conditions.
Quasi-experiments are done in the everyday (i.e. real life) environment of the participants. The experimenter still manipulates the independent variable, but in a real-life setting (so cannot really control extraneous variables).
What are Likert Scales?
Scales that measure how likeable you are
Likert scales are used to describe the data and show a summary of the results.
Likert scales are a type of psychometric scale frequently used in psychology questionnaires, where respondents are asked to rate the level to which they agree with a statement.
Likert scales are the correct rules of conduct necessary when carrying out research.
What is Secondary research?
Secondary research is any type of research that you collect yourself.
Secondary research is information that someone else has collected
Secondary research is research that does not test specific relationships between variables
Secondary research is commonly used in psychology research to collect self-report data from study participants
What is Content Analysis?
Content Analysis is a multivariate statistical technique for data reduction
Content Analysis is a method used to analyse qualitative data (non-numerical data). In its most common form it is a technique that allows a researcher to take qualitative data and to transform it into quantitative data (numerical data)
Content analysis examines the causes and consequences of behavior.
Content Analysis refers to a research strategy where instead of conducting new research with participants, the researchers examine the results of several previous studies.
What is the first stage of the research process?
Collect and analyze the data
Develop and implement the research plan
Report the findings
Define the research problem
