Quantitative Research Designs- are nos. in 3.

) Ex- Post Research Design- non-

stating generalization about given or experimental designs that are used
inquiry in contrast to qualitative research to investigate casual relationships

Research findings- subjected to statistical 4.) Comparative Designs- comparing

treatment and contrasting two or more
samples of study on one or more

THE NATURES OF VARIABLES & DATA
 Nominal Variables- categories that
cannot be ordered in any particular
way
observation or investigation of
relationships
6.) Methodological- data from different
disciplines can be integrated

 Ordinal Variables- categories that

can be orders from greatest to Techniques in Narrowing Down a Topic
smallest into a Research Question

 Internal Variables- an evenly 1.) Examine the literature

dispersed range of numbers 2.) Talk over ideas with others
3.) Apply to a specific context
 Ratio Variables- lie along an evenly 4.) Define the aim or desired outcome
dispersed range of numbers when of the study
there is to net worth
FORMULA:
KINDS OF VARIABLES
 Independent Variable- variables
that cause, influence or affect
outcomes

 Dependent Variables- depends on

independent variables

 Interviewing / Mediating Variable:

“stand between” the independent &
dependent variables

 Controlled Variable- variables that

are measured in a study

TYPES OF DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGNS

1.) Survey- used when the researcher

intends to provide a quantitative or
numeric description
2.) Correlational:
 Bivariate correlational studies-
obtain source from two variables
for each subjects
 Prediction Studies- the predictor
value. The criteria variable
 Multiple Regression Prediction
Studies- contribute to other over-
all prediction in an equation
