    Study Notes

    Research Design Fundamentals

    • Research design is a comprehensive plan for conducting research, encompassing data collection and analysis strategies.
    • Experimental designs are ideal for investigating cause-and-effect relationships.
    • Exploratory research aims to define problems and formulate hypotheses, unlike hypothesis testing which is characteristic of experimental research.
    • Descriptive research involves documenting and observing behavior without manipulating variables, unlike experimental designs.
    • Longitudinal research collects data over an extended period.
    • Randomization minimizes bias in research, producing more reliable outcomes.
    • Experimental research is typically used to test hypotheses.
    • Case studies are qualitative, not quantitative, research designs, focusing on in-depth understanding of a specific subject.
    • Validity refers to the accuracy and reliability of a measurement.
    • Qualitative research is appropriate when in-depth understanding is the goal, often through detailed case studies.
