15- Research Methods
Summarizing and Reporting Research
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Meta-Analysis | A Quantitative method for statistically evaluating the results of a large body of prior research on a specific topic;from multiple studies _ |
| ____________ designs are strongest for testing nomothetic causal hypothesis and are most appropriate for treatment effects | Experimental |
| Research questions that are believed to involve basic social physiological processes are most appealing for ___________ studies because the problem of generalizability is reduced | Laboratory |
| Random assignment reduces the possibility of preexisting differences between _________ and ___________ groups to small, specifiable, chance levels, so many of the variables that might create a spurious association are controlled. | Treatment, Comparison |
| An experimental design requires a degree of ________ that cannot always be achieved outside the laboratory. | Control |
| _____ experiments thus require careful monitoring of the treatment process. | Field |
| Laboratory experiments permit much more _______ over __________, but at the cost of less generalize findings . | Control, Conditions |
| People who volunteer for most laboratory...is a good possibility that experimental subjects ______ from those who do not volunteer. | Differ |
| _______ and _________ constraints limit the types of treatments that can be studied experimentally (you can't assign ______ class or ____ experimentally) | Ethical, Practical, Social, Race |
| The problem of generalizability in an experiment using __________ lessens when the object of investigation is an ___________, ________, or ______ _______ that is relatively invariant. | Volunteers, orientation, behavior, social process |
| Both surveys and experiments typically use ____________, ___________ measures of attitudes, behaviors, or social processes | Standardized, Quantitative |
| Closed-ended questions are most common and are well suited for the reliable measurement of variables that have been studied in the ____ and whose meanings are ____ __________. | Past, Well Understood |
| Most social science surveys rely on ______ ________ for their selection of cases from some larger population, and it is this feature that makes them preferable for descriptive research that seeks to develop generalizable findings. | Random |
| Survey questionnaires can only measure what respondents are willing to report _______; they may not be adequate for studying behaviors or attitudes that are regarded as socially unacceptable. | Verbally |
| When variables that might create spurious relationships are included in the survey, they can be controlled _____________ in the analysis and thus eliminated as a rival causal influences | Statistically |
| Qualitative methods presume an intensive measurement approach in which indicators of concepts are drawn from ______ ___________ or __-_____ __________; When it is not clear what meaning people attach to a concept or what a particular questions about it. | Direct observation, In-Depth Commentary |
| Qualitative methods are also admirably suited to the ___________ of new or poorly understood social settings, when it is unclear of what concepts would help one understand the situation | Exploration |
| Meta-analysis | Is a quantitative method for identifying patterns in findings across multiple studies of the same research question. |
| Meta-analysis is like conducting a survey in which the "___________" are previous studies | Respondents |
| Meta-Analysis explains how...? | explains how it varies across research studies |
| Meta-Analysis can describe the ________ affect the studies findings | Variation |
| Meta-Analysis can be used when a number of studies have attempted to answer the ____ research question with similar _____________ methods, most often experiments | Same, Experimental |
| Meta-Analysis is not appropriate for evaluating results from _____________ studies or from multiple studies that used different methods or measured different dependent variables | Qualitative |
| It is not sensible to combine _____ ________ and original case data | Study Results |
| Meta-Analysis is a technique for ____________ and __________ analysis of published research reports | Combination, Statistical Analysis |
| List some of the Eligibility Criteria for a Research? | Distinguishes features, Research respondents, Key variables, Research Methods, Cultural Linguistic Range, Time Frame, & Publication type |
| Effect Size | A standardized measure of association - often the difference between the mean of the experimental group and the mean of the control group on the dependent variable, adjusted for the average variability in the two groups. |
| Reverse Outlining | Outlining the sections in an already written draft of a paper or report to improve its organization in the next draft. |
