    Study Notes

    Quantitative Research Overview

    • Quantitative research includes various types, but some are not classified as such.
    • The overarching aim is to quantify variables, establish relationships, and generalize findings.
    • 'Ex post facto' refers to research examining effects after the fact, without manipulation of variables.

    Interventions and Ensuring in Research

    • 'Interventions' denote actions taken to influence outcomes in research studies.
    • Ensuring in research involves verifying that the study conditions maintain integrity and reliability.

    Types of Quantitative Research

    • Comparative research is specifically designed to determine cause-and-effect relationships by comparing different groups.
    • Ex post facto research's purpose is to analyze existing data to infer potential relationships post-event.

    Advantages and Characteristics of Quantitative Research

    • Key advantages include objectivity, reliance on statistical analysis, and capacity for generalization. Some misconceptions exist about its benefits.
    • A defining characteristic is the emphasis on quantifying data to facilitate objective analysis.
    • The role of statistical methods is crucial in analyzing data, establishing relationships, and interpreting findings.

    Variables in Research

    • Intervening or mediating variables are those affecting the relationship between independent and dependent variables.
    • Confounding variables can mix or obscure relationships and should be controlled to avoid bias.
    • Control variables are factors that remain constant to prevent them from influencing the dependent variables.

    Research Problems and Significance

    • Factors influencing research problem selection include feasibility, relevance, and clarity.
    • The scope in a study defines the boundaries and focus, crucial for guiding the research aim.
    • Significance explains the importance of the research and its potential impact on the field.

    Ethical Responsibilities in Research

    • Ethical obligations for authors include proper attribution of sources, honest reporting of results, and ensuring appropriate authorship credit.
    • Authors should avoid heavy borrowing without proper citation to uphold integrity.

    Research Frameworks and Hypotheses

    • The conceptual framework structures the research by connecting various concepts and guiding the study's direction.
    • A research hypothesis posits a expected relationship while a null hypothesis suggests no effect or relationship.
    • One-tailed hypothesis predicts the direction of the expected outcome.

    Research Process Aspects

    • The thinking aspect involves formulating hypotheses and establishing frameworks, while the doing aspect emphasizes executing the research methodological steps.
    • Understanding extraneous variables is essential to isolate true effects of the independent variable on the dependent variables.
