1. Measures – p.117 – techniques or instruments used for measurement, referring to quantitative devices
Researches can use different instruments to determine the level of concussion a player may have sustained
2. Nominal Scale – p.119 – a type of measurement that classifies a category based on numbers
Concussions are measured using a nominal scale of 1-5, one being least severe and five being the most severe.
3. Frequency Distribution – p.121 - a type of measurement that helps organize data by grouping the data based on the number of times the same score was achieved
Researchers can use frequency distribution to see how many concussions of each level are obtained during a season, per their position.
4. Correlation – p.128 – a type of measure …show more content…
Negative Correlation – p.129 – a type of measure that shows an opposite relationship between variables.
An example of negative correlation would be if a player who only played one game during the season, received multiple concussions, as data shows that players with the most playing time are the ones that are most susceptible to concussions.
7. Test – p.147 – a way to collect data by having participants answer a standard set of questions
When determining if someone has received a concussion, researchers may ask a series of easy, standard questions to test to if the players brain is functioning properly based on the answers given
8. Standards-based Tests – p.150 – a type of test where the outcome or performance is based on the knowledge the tester has
Researchers may use standards-based testing on players who many have sustained a concussion and ask them a series of questions, based on knowledge they should have, such as the date, what day it is, where they are, and who the President is, to determine if the blow to the head was serious enough to cause a concussion.
9. Questionnaire – p.154 – a type of data collection used by researchers that consists of a series of questions in order to gather data from …show more content…
Depending on the answers given, another series of questions could be asked such as whether the participant ever reported their concussion, where did the participant learn about concussions, and why they never reported their concussion if they thought they had one.
10. Checklist – p.159 – a type of data collection technique that gives the responders different options to choose from on certain topics
Researchers can use checklists to gather information on the different symptoms different players feel when they sustain a concussion. Players can check off which symptom they felt during the time of their concussion, and researchers could use this information to help educate others about the different symptoms that are possible with concussions.
11. Interview – p.167 – a data collection technique where data is collected by verbally asking questions and having the answers recorded
A researcher can interview players orally about their symptoms rather than by a written checklist. The researcher would be able to get more details this way about the level of symptoms felt and whether certain cases were mild or severe.
12. Relationship – p.178 – a connection between
