Note taking Videotaping Audio taping Writing Writing notes after the interview The most critical areas of an article to read is; Results section Introduction Abstract Limitations Quantitative social researchers rarely claim to have established causality because: They are more concerned with publishing pu blishing the results of their reliability tests. They do not believe that this is an appropriate goal to be striving for. They keep forgetting which of the variables they hav e manipulated. They tend to use cross-sectional designs, which produce only correlations.

The following journal article would be an example of _______ research; "The benefits of florescent lighting on production in a factory setting." Applied Interview Basic Stupid The purpose of a literature review is to: Help you find out what is already known about this area. Identify any inconsistencies or gaps in the literature. Demonstrate an awareness of the theoretical context in which the current study can be located. Find what is already known, identify gaps demonstrate awareness. Quantitative research has been criticized because: The measurement process suggests sugge sts a spurious and artificial sense of accuracy. The reliance on instruments and procedures makes it high in ecological validity. It underestimates the similarities between objects in the natural and social worlds. It has no validity.

Ratio Nominal Interval Dichotomous 12. Which of the following true about the relationship between theory building and data collection?
When studies come out as expected, exp ected, inductive support for the theory is gained. If an experiment fails, discarding the experiment is an example of affirming the consequent. When a hypothesis is not supported, virtually nothing has b een learned about the theory. A good theory will be inclusive enough to explain ev ery possible research outcome.

They are readily available. They provide an overview of o f the issues related to a topic. They are primary sources. They avoid reporting statistical data so one can interpret the results more easily. easily. What type of process research is?

There are reoccurring patterns in the world. Events happen because of preceding causes. We can discover solutions to problems of interest. Theoretical explanations must agree with common sense.
A good qualitative problem statement: Defines the independent and dependent variables Conveys a sense of emerging design Specifies a research hypothesis to be tested Specifies the relationship between variables that the researcher expects to find.
