Study Notes
Characteristics of Quantitative Research
- Emphasizes numerical data and statistical analysis to uncover patterns.
- Aims to find generalizable truths through structured methodologies.
- Primarily uses surveys and questionnaires for data collection.
Research Design Types
-
Non-Experimental Research Design:
- Focuses on describing associations between variables without manipulation.
- Suitable for evaluating marketing, social behaviors, and environmental factors affecting students.
-
Experimental Research Design:
- Investigates cause-and-effect relationships using manipulation of independent variables.
- Requires a control group and random assignment of participants to minimize bias.
Non-Experimental Research
- Explores various variables without establishing causation.
- Commonly utilized to assess social media impact, academic performance, and anxiety levels.
Experimental Research Designs
- Independent Variable: The factor manipulated by the researcher.
- Dependent Variable: The outcome measured to assess the effect of the independent variable.
Types of Experimental Research
- Pre-Experiments: Simplest design with minimal control; single group observed post-treatment.
- True Experiments: Rigorously designed studies to determine causal relationships with random assignment.
- Quasi-Experiments: Resembles true experiments but lacks random assignment of participants.
True Experimental Design Types
- Post-test-only Control Group Design: Participants do not undergo pre-testing to prevent bias.
- Pre-test/Post-test Control Group Design: Measures participants before and after intervention, allowing evaluation of changes.
- Solomon Four-Group Design: Combines both pre-testing and post-testing with multiple groups to assess treatment efficacy.
Solomon Four-Group Important Notes
- Random assignment of participants ensures unbiased results.
- Pre-test measurements are only given to certain groups, while all groups receive post-test measurements.
Limitations of Research Design
- Non-experimental designs may not capture causation; they primarily reveal correlations.
- Experimental designs require careful control of variables to yield valid results.
