Study Notes
Scales of Measurement
- A nominal scale reflects categorization with no inherent order or equal differences, distinguished from other scales by lacking any magnitude or order.
- An ordinal scale consists of categories organized in an ordered sequence.
- An interval scale reflects equal differences between numbers in magnitude but lacks an absolute zero point.
- A ratio scale has an absolute zero point, differentiating it from an interval scale.
Data Collection
- Researcher-completed instruments involve researchers collecting data directly from participants.
- Subject-completed instruments involve participants completing questionnaires or surveys themselves.
Questionnaires
- The purpose of a rating scale is to quantify opinions, attitudes, or behaviors.
- A questionnaire is used to collect self-reported data from participants.
- When designing a questionnaire, avoid leading questions and ensure clarity and concision.
- The principle of starting with demographic questions helps to build rapport and increase respondent engagement.
Statistical Analysis
- Cochran's correction formula is used to adjust the chi-square value when there are expected frequencies less than 5.
- In Cochran's formula, 'p' represents the population proportion.
Research Design
- An independent variable is the variable manipulated by the researcher to observe its effect on the dependent variable.
- Data collected in a study are collectively referred to as observations or measurements.
Statistics
- Yamane's formula determines the sample size required for a study.
