What Is Cross-Sectional Methods In Research?

According to the course syllabus we were introduced to the techniques of psychological research. This course was able to provide an understanding of how research is done, and what methods we can use to do so. By having a clear understanding of research and techniques used, it allows us to communicate effectively in regards to ideas behind the research process. In this paper, I will use myself as the case study to examine exactly what I learned about research.

Sources cited must be relevant, comprehensive and current as to provide evidence that the study conducted was necessary (Burns & Grove, 2011). Walker cited both quantitative and qualitative studies to describe current knowledge of the problem and need for additional research. The literature was effective and relevant to the focus of the research study. The author used literature to build a logical argument in the introduction and complement the findings of the study in the discussion. Available studies were not evaluated nor were weaknesses indicated.

The researchers analyzed the data they collected as though it were at what level of measurement?

Participants in this study were online graduate male and female students at Southern New Hampshire University (N= 14; 7 women and 7 men), ranging in age from 21-30 years old.

Participants in this study were online graduate male and female students at Southern New Hampshire University (N= 20; 10 women and 10 men) ranging in ages of 30 or younger.

This is a research study conducted by students of the SWK 335-75 (Research Practice Evaluation) class. The study participation will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. We invite you to help us with our research study by completing this questionnaire with a combination of 7 multiple choice questions and open ended questions. There are no potential

One-hundred and fifty undergraduate students will be recruited from the University of Dayton’s participant pool for this study. There will be no exclusionary criteria for participation.

Using Northcentral University (NCU) Dissertation Center, a student could access several resources to guide them through the rigorous process of developing a research topic, develop a research question, gathering information to examine the research question(s) and develop a hypothesis all the way to guidelines for submitting a dissertation for review. For this paper the NCU Concept Paper Template will be examined for its instructions on how to detail research methods for quantitative and qualitative studies.

This study sought to answer three research questions. Although the questions have been presented in previous chapters, they are worth presenting again.

Looking at the crosstab, there are five dependent variable attributes/rows. The first distinction between two dependent attributes interests me the most is college diploma (e.g., bachelors degree). It has a standard residual of .0 for Asian, -.7 for Black, -.7 for Hispanic and 1.3 for Whites. The results show that Black and Hispanic are less likely to have completed college. As for Whites, it results showed that they are

The sample will consist of current University of Texas at Dallas students from different classification levels. An estimation of 80-100 surveys will be taken. Demographic collection will be collected prior to administration and will compose of age, gender, and classification level, if they are currently attend UTD, along with whom and where the participant lives.

Northcentral University is a distance learning online institution for individuals seeking higher education and opportunities for professional development. The college’s environment handles important business mainly through the internet. Occasionally, communication efforts are executed through phone calls. The institution conducts the majority of its affairs online to accommodate non-traditional students. Student participation is mandatory when providing critical feedback about institutional practices. Johnson (2016) notes, “A survey is a statistical process by which data are collected from a representative sample of some population of interest in order to determine the attitudes, opinions, or other facts about that population” (p. 1). In an effort to gain insight on NCU’s institutional practices, a survey is most appropriate for assessment. This work will serve as a descriptive narrative about measurement survey tools appropriate for research such as surveys.

A total of 6 articles were databased studies and used frailty measurement as a tool to assess the frailty status in hospitalized older adults undergoing orthopedic surgery. The type of research study was reported by the authors: non-experimental studies using prospective cohort study design (n= 4, 66.6%), retrospective study (n= 1, 16.7%), and cross-sectional exploratory study (n= 1, 16.7%). The most frequently investigated outcome variables were postoperative complications, the length of hospital stays, inability to discharge home, physical and cognition dysfunction, morbidity, and mortality.

To understand the data set, measurements of the different variables must first be understood. To measure the varying degrees of racism, individuals were provided a one

Knowledge is power and a college campus is the gathering place for those who understand this rule. Properly collecting large amounts of data in the form of opinions and thoughts of those who go to a college is important to evoke conversations and provide answers to various topics. The following literature review will take a look at four surveys that were taken place on college campuses to see how proper survey creation and distribution is needed to collect quality data.
