Quantitative Research

What are the two types of Quantitative research?

Descriptive and comparative

Experimental

Norm research

Confounding research

What is descriptive research?

A component of all research studies (Qual or Qaunt)used to characterize subjects and other relevant circumstances in research

Uses if/then statements and provide evidence about probable cause

Has no correlation and is used in different experiments for exploratory measures.

What is univariate research design?

Should represent the people you want to study

Used to establish norms

Has no control group

Collects data on a single variable or series of single variables

Correlational research is what?

Is the most rigorous type of group comparison study

Is categorical

Is where the relationship between two or more variables are examined

Single subject research is an example of correlational descriptive research?

True

False

Correlational research design is different than experiments in the sense that there is no experimental control?

What is comparative research?

Is either correlational or univariate

Either experimental or non-experimental

Has a gold standard that everyone must follow for all research

There are 3 elements that characterize basic experiments what are they?

Categorical; continuous

1:1; yoking

Correlational/causation

Bleeding; fidelity

A dependent variable was covid symptoms & there were 4 independent variables; zinc, vit c, and nothing- is this an example of 1:1; yoking?

Yes

Categorical data is when there is one or two independent variables.

True

False

Only 1 independent variable

What is an example of bleeding fidelity?

The OT performed 5 mintes longer than the research intended, time got away from her.

The therapist put the kid on the therapy ball for exatly 10 minutes (no less no more)

You can't control things & you didn't mean to

What is a confounding variable?

Confining the participant into a small room

Variables you can't control and you didn't mean to introduce

Having a small participant

A small yappy dog is part of the research

A dependent variable is the part of the research that stays the same

True

False

This is the item you are hoping to change it is dependent on the thing I am implementing.

An example of a confounding variable would be? A client working 7 days in a row, a holiday, lack of sleep

True

False

What are threats to Methodological Rirgor?

Being married and not knowing it

Reporting a relationship where there is no real cause/relationship

Finding a new report and reporting it

Failure to find and report a realationship when the relationship actually exists

What is external validity?

Artificiality

Under-representative

Pre-post test design

Non randomized control groups

Artificiality is when a child is in their natural environment but has a few controls parameters.

True

False

It doesn't look like the real world

Under- represented sample, means that you have a mismatch between the sample and the intended population.

True

False

Single Subject research design is

Experimental deisgn with randomization and longitudinal outcome measures

Research that matches a sample that has a hypothesis

Type of descriptive resaerch that involves in depth analysis of the behavior of a single subject or relatively small group fo subjects.

Single subject research compares Joe with everyone else?

True

False

Not comparing him with anyone else

Muliptle baseline designs- is used when you want to look at attention to task and writing?

True

False

Used with the sameintervention applied to multiple behaviors sequentially

Alternating treatment designs is used for?

Is used for those who are perfectly healthy, but can't get to the research facility

Are used for clients with ALS, burns, and other victims that will change over time

Only used on animals

Social validation is?

Getting your friends approval

Use of questionnaires to particpants or stakeholders to see if the intervention is acceptable

Used by everyone who does research

Generalization means everyone can use it.

True

False

Good internal validity when well designed

Mixed method does not include descriptive/demographic information?

True

False

What are the types of data collection?

Quantitative Research
