N128 Test 1 Study Questions
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What should a Good Research Question Have? | FINER: Feasability, Interesting, Novel, Ethical, Relevant |
What is Non-Directional Hypothesis? | Implies relationship but no direction |
What is Directional Hypothesis? | Should imply direction of relationship |
Why Review Literature? | Develop strong knowledge base;Generates useful questions like What is already known? What can be explored? What worked or didn’t work before in the studies? |
Concept? | An abstraction (relative);Creates an image of an idea we want to share;Ex) Pain, helplessness, self-esteem |
Theory? | Set of concepts that provide a systematic view about a phenomeno;Guides practice and research |
Conceptual Framework? | Explains how the variables in the study are expected to relate to each other;Used when literature doesn’t have theory explaining specific relationships between variables;Structure of concepts or theories pulled together as a map of the study; |
Theoretical Framework? | Used when vars have been studied before and have been found to be related;Already made up map of the study; |
Conceptual Definition? | Like a dictionary definition, conveys the general meaning of a concept;What does the word “Pain” mean? |
Operational Definition? | Specifies how the concept will be measured;Ex) what instruments were used |
Qualitative Research? | Direct quotes, looking at things in natural setting, analyzing |
What 3 factors that determine accuracy in qualitative research? | Credibility- is description accurate; do participants recognize the experience as their own. Audibility- can reader follow; adequate info?Fittingness- findings applicable outside study? Dot they “ring true” |
Quantitative Research? | Measurement |
Experimental | Include intervention (Treatment) |
3 Things that Characterize a TRUE EXPERIMENT | Manipulation (Treatment);Control;Randomization |
Quasi-Experimental | Includes intervention but lacks randomization or a control group or both |
Non-experimental | ndependent variable not actively manipulated |
Control | Measures used to hold conditions uniform;How we avoid biases |
Extraneous Variable | Interferes c operations of variables being studied;How you control Homogenous sample,Consistency,Randomize |
Internal Validity | Did the independent variable really change the dependant variable? |
6 Threats to Internal Validity (Harry Made The Ice Mocha Spill) | History-publicity(something outside the study);Maturation-too much time between pre and post test;Testing-if same test; may recognize;Instrumentation-always calibrate;Mortality-differential loss of subjects;Sel Biases-random selection? Repressentative |
External Validity | Generalization of the study |
