    • What type of questions does descriptive research design aim to answer?

  • Which factors influence the phenomenon
  • How to manipulate the phenomenon
  • What occur, when occur, why occur, how occur (correct)
  • Who is involved, where it happens, how often it occurs

    Study Notes

    Research Design Types and Characteristics

    • Predictive studies involve shorter time for predictions, whereas longer time allows for more variables to influence the prediction.
    • Typical analysis in predictive studies includes regression, multiple regression, and discriminant analysis to compare different user groups.
    • Developmental studies describe developmental change and sequencing of behaviors over time, widely used in education, nutrition, epidemiology, and behavioral sciences.
    • Types of developmental designs include cross-sectional and longitudinal designs, used to examine data at one point in time or over an extended period.
    • Epidemiological studies investigate the distribution and causes of diseases in a population, using cohort and case-control studies.
    • Cohort studies use a longitudinal approach to investigate the occurrence of a disease in individuals with presumed causes, while case-control studies investigate causes after the occurrence.
    • Survey design is a popular method to collect information from a homogenous group of subjects, using descriptive, exploratory, comparative, and co-relational surveys.
    • 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, used to study morbidity, mortality, and treatment adherence.
    • Non-experimental design studies require no experiment and are closest to real-life situations, suitable for fields like psychology, sociology, education, and nursing.
    • Disadvantages of non-experimental research design include less reliable data and nonrandomly selected groups, affecting the authenticity and generalizability of study results.
    • Nonexperimental studies are conducted for comparative purposes using nonrandomly selected groups, which may not be homogeneous and tend to be dissimilar in different traits or characteristics, affecting the authenticity and generalizability of the study results.
