Which research design is used to determine the cause and effect relationship?
Experimental design
In a simple random sample, which of the following statements is true?
Each element in the population has an equal chance of being selected
Which research design considers the entire population or sample as one entity?
Case study
What is the process of developing empirical theory from qualitative research called?
Grounded theory
Which research design is used to study how people make meaning of their lived experiences?
Phenomenology
Which of the following is a type of research design in qualitative methods?
Ethnography
Which of the following is NOT a function of research design?
Developing theoretical frameworks
In a pre-test/post-test research design, what is the primary aim?
To measure the change in a phenomenon over time
Which research design is characterized by visiting the population under study multiple times at regular intervals?
Longitudinal study
In the context of research designs, what does the term 'retrospective' refer to?
Investigating a phenomenon that has occurred in the past
What is the primary characteristic of a prospective research design?
Establishing the outcome or likelihood of an event occurring in the future
Which of the following research designs is based on taking a 'cross-section' of a population?
Cross-sectional study
Which of the following is NOT a subtype of telephone-based sampling?
Time-based sampling
Which of the following methods is used to extract chemical compounds or flavors from plant material by allowing it to remain suspended in a solvent over time?
Infusion Method
What is the term used to refer to the dry materials after the extraction process?
Marc
Which of the following is NOT a method of extraction mentioned in the text?
Distillation Method
In the context of sampling methods, what does the term 'ABS' refer to?
Address-based sampling
What is the term used to refer to the solvent used in the extraction process?
Menstrum
What is the key difference between systematic sampling and stratified sampling?
Stratified sampling involves dividing the population into segments before sampling, while in systematic sampling, elements are selected randomly.
What distinguishes the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) from the Random Complete Block Design (RCBD)?
CRD involves random assignment of treatments to experimental units, while RCBD involves random assignment of blocks to treatments.
What sets Latin Square Design (LSD) apart from Completely Randomized Design (CRD) and Random Complete Block Design (RCBD)?
LSD involves randomizing both treatments and blocks, while CRD and RCBD randomize only one of these factors.
How does Cluster Sampling differ from Stratified Sampling?
In Cluster Sampling, elements are grouped after selection, while in Stratified Sampling, elements are grouped before selection.
What distinguishes Non-probability Availability Sampling from Purposive Sampling?
In Non-probability Availability Sampling, all elements available at the time are included in the sample, whereas Purposive Sampling selects elements based on their purpose.
How does Quota Sampling differ from Respondent-Assisted Sampling?
In Quota Sampling, researchers select elements from distinct categories, while in Respondent-Assisted Sampling, previously selected respondents assist in identifying new sample members.
This quiz focuses on the various aspects of research methods and designs, including philosophical, theoretical, and conceptual foundations, as well as quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. It also covers research design components such as planning, structure, strategy, population identification, sampling techniques, and ethical considerations.
