Intervention ( Plano Clark And Creswell

The strength of using the single- subject study is because typically when the researcher is using single-subject study, they are using very few participants, which allows the researcher to have flexibility in their design

Instructions: This is a group activity that you will start in class and complete at home. For each of the following, note, whether the research design used is an experiment, a quasi-experiment, or a correlational approach and why. If a study is an experiment, identify the independent variable and the dependent variable. Please type your answers in complete sentences.

Single-subject design (p. 238) – using just one participate or very few participants to study the influence of a new procedure (2012, p. 238).

Single-subject design (p 238) only using one or a few participants for a study to see the influence on a new procedure or invention.

According to Schutt (2008), sampling is defined as a subset of population used in a study to be a representation of the population as a whole. My final project is a pre-hire assessment which analyzes potential risky pattern behaviors and emotions in the work place. One of the most important considerations related to sampling that will need to be addressed in my final project is defining the population that will be taking the assessment.

According to Yilmaz (2013) there exist two significant approaches to research with respect to studying the social and individual world. According to Creswell (2014) three types of design quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods should remain in consideration when choosing a research designs at the start of the process. The two methods exist a quantitative and

A population is the entire group to be studied and a sample is a portion of the population.

Paula England wanted to understand what the hooking up culture and sexuality was of college students and how it was gender based. This was her focus for her research and throughout her data she found some interesting things about the hookup culture of college students. A sample is a part of the population that represents the whole. Her sample size was 18 different universities where she gathered data, and could make inferences about the population of college students as a whole. There were two different sampling methods that were used to gather data from students, she had students use interviews and online surveys.

A correlational research design would be useful when studying the relationship of mentoring students in a reading class and the achievement on their Aims-web reading comprehension and fluency scores. The correlational design would be useful to determine to what degree if any exists. In a correlations study there can be a relationship between two or more variables. This type of research uses a correlation coefficient to explain relationships or show a lack of relationship between the variables. Correlational research design and a casual-comparative research design differ in many ways. Casual-comparative research uses two or more groups and determines the differences between groups. Also, in

Withdrawal designs are often used in determining if the treatment is directly effecting the change in a behavior. In order to show a direct correlation between the treatment and the altered behavior, withdrawal designs remove the treatment during one or more phases of the experiment (Richards, Taylor, & Ramasamy, 2014). Withdrawal designs allow the researcher to directly show cause and effect between the behavior and the intervention treatment (Richards, Taylor, & Ramasamy, 2014). In order to present the experiment effects on a behavior the investigator must first determine that the intervention is in fact the cause for the changed behavior, by showing a clear functional relationship between variables. In order to measure

I will then explain to the students the types of correlated groups designs. First, will be the within-subjects designs, which are, were participants are exposed to all experimental conditions. In essence, each participant serves as his or her own control. Each participant is tested under each experimental condition. Therefore, the scores in each condition are correlated with the scores in each other condition. The critical comparison is the difference between correlated groups on the dependent variable. For example, during Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump elections debate there was a polling. The chairperson took a vote before the debate, to establish a baseline opinion of who will do the best, and will ask the audience to vote again at the end. The team that gained the most votes obviously managed to sway opinion in the same subjects much better, so can be announced as the winner.

A study design is the procedure that guides a researcher on how to collect, analyze and interpret observations. It is a logical model that guides the investigator while he navigates through the various stages of the research. Study types can be classified severally depending on the research strategy employed. A study type can be non-interventional that is ‘observational’ where a researcher just observes and analyses researchable objects or situations without intervening. Non-interventional study designs can be exploratory, descriptive or comparative. A study can also be

Referencing McMillan and Wergin (2010) assertion on the commonality of mixed method designs having one dominate approach, determined through a series of questions. The conclusion is that Oreck (20014) has a dominate quantitative focus. Therefore, to determine whether it contributes significantly to the knowledge base, it must be judged on how well it meets the non-experimental quantitative evaluative criteria offered by McMillian and Wergin (2010). Particularly in its ability to provide connections and rationale to previous studies and illuminate gaps in the present knowledge base that this study will examine through mainly statistical means to discover associations amongst variables.

In survey method research, participants answer questions administered through interviews or questionnaires. After participants answer the questions, researchers describe the responses given. In order for the survey to be both reliable and valid it is important that the questions are constructed properly. Questions should be written so they are clear and easy to comprehend.

2. Compare this research design with a survey research design. What advantages, if any, did this research design have over a survey?
