Study Notes
Types of Surveys
- Panel Study: Tracks the same individuals over time within the same generational group.
Sampling Bias
- Sampling Bias: Occurs when the sample does not accurately reflect the population due to flaws in the sampling process.
Reducing Bias in Surveys
- Reducing Demand Bias: Strategies such as using blind studies, disguising the purpose of the study, and ensuring the respondents are not aware of hypotheses, can help minimize demand bias.
Bias in Surveys
- Non-response Bias: Likely to occur when participants are not motivated to take the survey, resulting in a biased sample.
Experimental Manipulation
- Experimental Manipulation: Aims to isolate the effect of a specific variable by systematically altering it.
Within-Subject Experimental Design
- Within-Subject Experimental Design: Compares different conditions or treatments within the same group of participants, allowing for more precise comparisons.
Control Variables
- Control Variables: Factors that are held constant during an experiment to minimize their potential influence on the outcome.
Secondary Data
- Secondary Data: Data that has been collected for a different purpose than the current study, and therefore not collected by the researcher to answer a specific question.
Advantages of Quantitative Research
- Generalizability: Quantitative research often focuses on larger samples, enhancing the generalizability of findings to broader populations.
