    Study Notes

    Quantitative Research Designs

    • Quantitative research designs exclude narrative designs
    • Includes correlational, experimental, and causal-comparative designs

    Sampling Methods

    • Population is the total number of people or elements in a study
    • Sample is a smaller subset of the population
    • Sampling is the method for selecting the sample

    Evaluating Information Sources

    • Accuracy: Information must be factual, error-free, and reliable
    • Objectivity: Information should be unbiased and avoid bias in the intended purpose
    • Currency: Date of publication is important

    Research Literature Review

    • Purpose: Understanding existing knowledge to inform new research
    • Key aspects: Stimulates new ideas, identifies gaps in knowledge, suggests hypotheses, summarizes existing research findings

    Research Study Components

    • Scope and Delimitation: Defines the boundaries and parameters of the study
    • Variables: Independent variable causes an effect, dependent variable is affected, variables can be independent, dependent, moderating, or control

    Statistical Measures

    • Mean: Average of numerical values
    • Standard deviation: Measurement of variability in data around the mean
    • Frequency: Measure of how often a response occurs

    Types of Quantitative Research

    • Descriptive: Describes characteristics of a population or phenomenon
    • Correlational: Examines the relationship between variables
    • Experimental: Establishes cause-and-effect relationships between variables
    • Quasi-Experimental: Investigates cause-and-effect relationships in settings where complete control is not possible

    Research Study Variables

    • Independent Variable: The cause
    • Dependent Variable: The effect
    • Moderating Variable: Alters the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable
    • Mediating Variable: Helps explain the relationship between the independent and dependent variable
    • Control Variable: Held constant to prevent interference with the results

    Research Study Design

    • Hypothesis: Statement predicting the relationship between variables
    • Research study variables contain independent, dependent, moderating, and control variables. Examples of which variables were provided.
