Flashcards

Research Design

A plan outlining how research will be conducted, including how data will be collected and analyzed.

Purpose of Research Design

The primary goal of research design is to help find answers to research questions. The design outlines how variables will be manipulated and measured to explore the relationship between them.

Experimental Design

A specific type of research design that allows researchers to make cause-and-effect conclusions. It involves manipulating variables and controlling for extraneous factors.

Factors (IVs)

The variables that are being changed or manipulated in an experiment. They are the independent variables (IVs).

Extraneous Variables

Variables that could potentially influence the results of an experiment but are not the focus of the study. It is important to control these to ensure that results are not confounded.

Study Notes

Research Design

Research design is a plan, structure, and strategy to answer research questions and control variables
It outlines the overall scheme or program of the research
The structure is more specific than the plan, outlining the operation of variables
Methods for data collection and analysis are also specified

Research Design Strategies

Experimental design: A sequence of steps in advance to analyze cause-and-effect relationships
- Involves procedures for selecting factors (independent variables) and their levels for manipulation
- Identifies extraneous variables needing control
- Outlines procedures for handling experimental units
- Specifies dependent variables and the research design itself
