Questions and Answers

What is the overall purpose of research design?

  • To start with a hypothesis
  • To integrate various components of a study logically and coherently (correct)
  • To describe the person or object of the study
  • To conduct experimental manipulations

What distinguishes descriptive research from comparative research?

  • Comparative research involves experimental manipulation

Study Notes

Research Design

  • The overall purpose of research design is to ensure that the data collected is relevant to the research question, and to provide a framework for the entire research process.

Types of Research

Descriptive Research

  • The primary goal of descriptive research is to describe the characteristics of a phenomenon or a population, often involving a detailed description of a particular variable or a set of variables.
  • It is focused on gaining a better understanding of a particular issue or problem.

Comparative Research

  • Comparative research, on the other hand, involves comparing two or more groups or phenomena to identify their similarities and differences.
  • In comparative research, the hypothesis plays a crucial role in guiding the investigation and providing direction for the analysis.
  • It is used to identify causal relationships between variables and to explain why certain phenomena occur.

Distinguishing Descriptive and Comparative Research

  • Descriptive research is distinct from comparative research in that it does not involve comparing groups or identifying causal relationships.
  • Comparative research, in contrast, goes beyond mere description and seeks to identify the underlying causes of observed patterns or phenomena.
