Study Notes

Research Design Types and Characteristics

Data collection methods include questionnaire, interview, files, document, or observation.
Typical analysis methods include descriptive statistics and textual analyses like content analysis.
Univariant descriptive design focuses on the frequency of a phenomenon and may involve multiple variables.
Explorative designs aim to identify, explore, and describe existing phenomena and related factors.
Comparative designs compare and contrast two or more variables on the same phenomena.
Descriptive research design is used to define subject characteristics, measure data trends, and validate existing conditions.
Important issues in descriptive design include the inability to make conclusions about relationships studies, graphic distortion, and response and non-response bias.
Interrelational studies provide deeper insight into the phenomenon of interest and trace the interrelationships between variables.
Correlational design describes a linear relationship and measures the strength and direction of the relationship between variables.
Types of correlational research design include prospective and retrospective research designs.
Prospective research design relates the present to the future and is often longitudinal, while retrospective research design studies the current phenomenon by seeking information from the past.
Correlational design advantages include the ability to analyze relationships among a large number of variables, demonstrate the degree of relationship between variables, and open up further research opportunities.

Research Study Designs Overview

Predictive studies' length impacts prediction accuracy; typical analyses include regression, multiple regression, and discriminant analysis.
Developmental studies describe developmental change and behaviors over time, commonly used in education, nutrition, epidemiology, and behavioral sciences.
Cross-sectional design examines data at one point in time, comparing data in respect to socio-demographic and identifying possible group differences.
Longitudinal design collects data over an extended time period, examining development through a series of observations or measurements over time.
Epidemiological studies investigate distribution and causes of diseases in the population, employing cohort studies (prospective) and case-control studies (retrospective).
Cohort studies longitudinally observe the occurrence of a disease in exposed individuals, while case-control studies investigate causes after disease occurrence.
Survey design is used to describe and explore events, collecting information from a homogenous group of subjects through various methods like phone, mail, interview, or questionnaire.
Cross-sectional surveys study a phenomenon at one point in time, while longitudinal surveys study the same group of subjects over a period of time.
Longitudinal studies observe and collect data on variables without trying to influence those variables, detecting changes over time.
Non-experimental research designs require no experiment and are suitable for fields like psychology, sociology, and nursing.
Non-experimental research designs have disadvantages, including less reliable data and potential dissimilarities in nonrandomly selected groups, impacting study results' authenticity and generalizability.
Non-experimental research designs are conducted for comparative purposes, which may affect the clarity and error-free relationship between the dependent and independent variables.
