________ are studies human experiences through the introspective descriptions of the people involved.

Phenomenology

Qualitative design

Textual data

None of these

A quantity study’s component that corporates the major processes of conducting research is known as Strand .

True

False

_________Can be in the form of interview transcripts, field notes from different observer and interviewer roles, diaries, journals, social media textual information, or documents (e.g., e-mails, reports, minutes of meetings, memos, and personal letters).

Strand

Textual data

Theoretical sampling

None of these .

Is based on concept representativeness and ______is known as Theoretical sampling

Consistency

Time order

Triangulation

Unobtrusive measure

Refers to when studies are conducted at the same time or one after another.

Consistency

Time order

Triangulation

Unobtrusive measure

Triangulation is process of verification that decreases validity by corporating several viewpoints and methods.

True

False

Results in groups of non equal size. Researchers determine the optimal block size for the experiment (sometimes because of the group or cell sizes required by a statistic) and then randomly choose to establish participant assignment.

True

False

A type of noise-reducing experimental design that does not divide the sample into relatively homogeneous subgroups or “blocks.” is known as Blocking design .

True

False

Acts as a comparison to other groups that are receiving a treatment or manipulation of the independent variable in an experiment is known as?

Comparison group

Confounding variable

Construct validity

Control

______ is an extraneous variable that influences the dependent variable.

Comparison group

Confounding variable

Construct validity

Control

Reveals whether a scale is known as Construct validity

True

False

The researcher attempts to control for all influential factors except those whose effects are the focus of the investigation.

Control

Control group

Covariance design

Covariate

Control group receives no treatment; the experimental stimulus is withheld, or some standard treatment is used is known as ?

Control

Control group

Covariance design

Covariate

_____is a type of noise-reducing experimental design; it adjusts posttest scores for variability on the (continuous) covariate pretest.

Control

Control group

Covariance design

Covariate

_____ is a continuous variable that acts as a control; it is not manipulated but rather observed and measured; it can affect the outcome of the study.

Control

Control group

Covariance design

Covariate

Covariate adaptive randomization is an alternative to stratified randomization; assigns new participants to treatment groups involving the technique of “maximised .”

True ‘

False

Criteria for causality consists of _______ steps

Two

Three

Four

Five

________ is a controlled independent variable subdivided into levels that are set by the researcher.

Factor

Factor level

Factorial design

All of these

Only one level that has the same value of the independent variable or treatment condition which has been subdivided for manipulation by the researcher. When factor levels are combined, they are referred to as the treatment is known as Factor level

Factor

Factor level

Factorial design

All of these

Factorial design is a randomized experiment (completely or by blocking) using the same factors to determine their influence on the study’s objective.

True

False

Intact group is consists of ______

Department

Team

Both a and b

None of these

Discerns whether a study’s findings imply cause while other explanations are ruled out is known as internal validity

True

False

Occurs when a researcher manipulates or systematically varies the levels (often called conditions) of an independent variable (IV) and then measures the income of interest, the dependent variable (DV) is known as manipulating

True

False

_________are attempts to obtain comparable groups to recreate the feature of randomization; its intent is equivalent or balanced groups.

Matching

Nonequivalent groups design

Pre-experiment

Quasi-experimental

Non-equivalent groups design is a frequently used quasi-experimental between-subjects design in which participants are equivalent (i.e., are not randomly assigned to conditions).

True

False

Pre-experiment typically has a control group available for contrast (or an equivalent nontreatment group).

True

False

________are Comprises “research that resembles experimental research but is not true experimental research” (see reference 43 in Chapter 8).

Quasi-experimental

Pre-experiment

Quota matrix

None of these

Quota matrix is a technique based on nonprobability sampling for balancing groups often by employing nominal ______variables to match the sample proportion to the population

Demographic

Elite

Aristocracy

Knighthood
