Questions and Answers

In qualitative surveys participants have more control over their responses.

True

Define thematic analysis

The process of identifying subjects

The process used to identify themes or patterns within data. It involves identifying and analyzing recurring patterns of meaning within a dataset to gain insights into the underlying concepts and ideas. (correct)

The process of identifying negative patterns

The process of identifying positive meaningful patterns.

What are the 3 categories of epistemology?

Positivism, contextualism and social constructionism (correct)

Positivism, realism and relativism

Realism, contextualism and critical realism

None of the above

How does IPA explain the researcher's subjectivity?

The double hermeneutic = 1st hermeneutic is the participants making sense of their experiences, 2nd hermeneutic is the researcher making sense of the 1st hermeneutic. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Qualitative Surveys and Thematic Analysis

Participants in qualitative surveys have increased control over their responses, allowing for richer data collection.
Thematic analysis is a qualitative research method used to identify, analyze, and report patterns (themes) within data.

Epistemology Categories

Three categories of epistemology:
- Positivism: Emphasis on observable, objective facts.
- Interpretivism: Focus on understanding the subjective meaning of social phenomena.
- Critical theory: Examines social structures and challenges power dynamics.

Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)

IPA acknowledges the researcher's subjectivity by recognizing their role in interpreting participants’ experiences, emphasizing a co-construction of meaning.

Asynchronous Online Groups

Asynchronous online groups involve participants engaging at different times, facilitating flexibility in discussion and allowing for thoughtful responses.

Media Data Utilization

Media data is valuable as it provides rich, multifaceted information, revealing insights into public sentiments, behaviors, and trends.

Reporting Mann-Whitney Results

In APA format, report the U statistic, p-value, and sample sizes for each group being compared.

Understanding N in Research

N represents the sample size, indicating the number of observations or participants in the study.

Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test Reporting

Report the W statistic, p-value, and the number of pairs in the Wilcoxon signed rank test results.

Experimental Designs in Dependent T-Tests

Within-subjects designs (where the same participants are tested under different conditions) can be used in dependent t-tests.

Reporting Values in T-Tests

In all t-tests, report the t statistic, degrees of freedom, and p-value.

High Correlation in Dependent Tests

A high correlation in dependent t-tests indicates a strong relationship between the paired observations, suggesting that changes in one variable relate to changes in another.

Defining Effect Size

Effect size quantifies the size of the difference between groups, providing context to the significance of results beyond p-values.

Preference for Effect Size

Effect size is preferred over statistical significance, as it conveys practical implications of research findings.

Pearson's r Correlation Effect Sizes

Small: 0.10
Medium: 0.30
Large: 0.50

Cohen's d Effect Sizes

Small: 0.2
Medium: 0.5
Large: 0.8

Use of Exact and Asymptotic Significance

Exact significance is preferred for small sample sizes due to its accuracy, while asymptotic significance is used for larger sample sizes where approximations are sufficient.
