    Study Notes

    Research Design

    • Qualitative research is compared to quantitative research in several ways.
    • An experimental research design is indicative of a hypothesis that predicts a cause-and-effect relationship between variables.
    • A primary source in a research study is an original data or observation collected by the researcher.

    Mixed Methods Research

    • Research that uses qualitative methods for one phase and quantitative methods for the next phase is known as mixed methods research.

    Research Approach

    • If an investigator intends to study the effect of massage on stress and pain, an experimental research approach needs to be chosen.
    • Deductive reasoning is applied in quantitative research, where a hypothesis is developed and tested using data.

    Quasi-Experimental Studies

    • Quasi-experimental studies share almost all the features of experimental designs except that they lack random assignment of participants to treatment or control groups.

    Qualitative Research

    • Qualitative research design involves an in-depth examination of a phenomenon, often using non-numerical data collection methods such as interviews, observations, and focus groups.

    Research Concepts

    • Facts generally accepted as truth are known as axioms.
