Study Notes

Cyberbullying and Body Shaming

Cyberbullying includes harmful behaviors, particularly body shaming, perpetuated over the internet.

Sampling Techniques

Simple Random Sampling:
- Provides each population member an equal chance of selection.
- Involves a method of random selection without a specific system.
Snowball Sampling:
- Current subjects refer subsequent qualified subjects.
- Continues until the desired participant count is reached.
Purposive Sampling:
- Selection based on the researcher's intent and population knowledge.

Research Design

Causal Comparative:
- Examines the relationship between anxiety levels during exams and exam performance in Grade 12 ABM students at Manicahan National High School.
- Focuses on how anxiety may affect academic outcomes.
Correlational Study:
- Investigates cause-and-effect relationships; suitable for TVL-Food Processing students exploring these dynamics.
Case Study:
- Utilizes structured interviews where respondents express personal thoughts and feelings.

Study Scope and Limitations

Scope and Limitations:
- Described by Creswell; includes statements addressing potential weaknesses.
Delimitation:
- Specific statements that narrow the research study's focus and boundaries.

Data Gathering

Refers to systematic methods for collecting and measuring information on variables.
Aims to answer research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate results.

Data Visualization

Bar Graph:
- Illustrates continuously changing information over time.

Reliability

Defined as the consistency of scores a person receives after taking the same test multiple times (reproducibility).
