Study Notes
Importance of Research
- Research is a systematic investigation aimed at answering questions and solving problems, enhancing knowledge, improving practices, and informing policies.
- Distinction between emergencies and research: focus on solving problems rather than reacting to urgent situations.
Quantitative Research
- Involves systematic collection of observable phenomena, gathering numerical data analyzed statistically.
- Essential characteristics include clearly defined research questions, structured instruments, large sample sizes, and replication of studies.
Research Examples
- Korean Drama Impact: Majority of students report no impact on sleep patterns despite high viewership, showcasing financial responsibility regarding related products.
- Materialism in Teens: Study indicates an increase from 48% to 62% among high school graduates valuing wealth over work ethic from 1976 to 2007.
- Social Media and Depression: A study found young adults using social media average 61 minutes per day, with 25% showing high depression indicators.
Qualitative Research Designs
- Phenomenological: Explores the essence of human experiences.
- Ethnographic: Involves direct observation within users' environments, focusing on cultural aspects.
- Grounded Theory: Collects and analyzes data to understand social phenomena without biases.
- Historical Study: Analyzes primary/secondary sources to research past events.
- Case Study: In-depth study of an individual, group, or phenomenon.
Quantitative Research Designs
- Descriptive Research: Collects data to describe characteristics or facts within a predetermined population.
- Correlational Research: Studies relationships between variables, identifying how they co-vary.
- Causal Comparative/Quasi-experimental Research: Seeks to establish cause-and-effect relationships based on past occurrences.
- Experimental Research: True experiments manipulate variables to test cause-and-effect hypotheses.
Importance of Quantitative Research
- Quantitative research has significantly contributed to finding solutions for societal issues, exemplified by vaccine developments.
- Research can influence policy decisions, such as community quarantine measures based on infection rates.
- Innovations like smartphones are rooted in extensive quantitative studies, ensuring compliance with market needs and technological standards.
