The document defines key terms related to research methods and study design including:
1. A research plan or blueprint that determines what data will be collected and how it will be analyzed.
2. Correlational research that examines the relationship between variables.
3. Causal research that aims to infer causes from existing effects.
4. Observational research that observes and reports on phenomena as they occur.

1. It is the “blueprint” of the study that serves as the
basis for determining what data will be collected, and how they will be analyzed and interpreted. 2. It aims to determine whether an increase or decrease in one variable corresponds to the increase or decrease in another. 3. It aims to infer a cause from the already existing effects. 4. It aims to observe and report on a certain phenomenon, type of behavior or portrait as it takes place or manifests itself. Answer the following: 5. Refers to the process of systematically selecting individuals, units or group to be analyzed during the conduct of the study. 6. Refers to the total number of elements to be studied. 7. A sampling method wherein members of the population are selected in such a way that each individual member has an equal chance of being selected. 8. It is used for “exploratory” research studies, where members of the population are not given equal opportunities to participate. Answer the following: 9. The most common methods used in this sampling procedure are fish bowl and lottery giving equal chance to every member of being selected. 10. This sampling method employs group of individuals who are available for the study. 11. It is a type of non-random sampling, a set of important characteristics of a population is identified and then select your desired samples in a non-random way. 12. It occurs when you select the members of your sample in groups of subjects rather than individuals. Answer the following:
13. It allows only one chance and a system to
determine the membership in the sample. 14. It is a sampling strategy which elements in the study population are divided into two or more groups based on shared characteristics. 15. In this sampling method, one case or participant suggests additional participants. II. Slovin’s Formula
