Two basic types of variables |
INDEPENDENT AND DEPENDENT VARIABLES |
|
|
Variables that cause changes in the subjects |
INDEPENDENT VARIABLES |
|
|
Are those that bear or manifest the effects caused by the independent variables |
DEPENDENT VARIABLES |
|
|
T/F In an experimental research the dependent variable as the condition or treatment applied to the experimental group is under control, direction or manipulation of the researcher |
FALSE |
|
|
Independent and dependent variables are _________ of the research because the first one is the cause and the second the effect, that can be subject to any form measurement |
PART AND PARCEL |
|
|
Extra variables that create an impact on the relationship between the independent and dependent variable |
EXTRANEOUS VARIABLES |
|
|
extraneous variables |
PARTICIPANT VARIABLES SITUATIONAL VARIABLES |
|
|
If they refer to the moods, emotions, or intelligence of the subjects |
PARTICIPANT VARIABLES |
|
|
If they pertain to nature of the place: smelly, chilly, cold, hot, spacious, and the like |
SITUATIONAL VARIABLES |
|
|
T/F Extraneous variables are to be controlled by you |
TRUE |
|
|
If extraneous variables do not give in to your control |
CONFOUNDING VARIABLES |
|
|
T/F Extraneous variables exist as confounding variables |
FALSE- NUISANCE VARIABLES |
|
|
Other Types of Variables (9) |
|
|
|
Do not undergo any changes during an experiment |
CONSTANT |
|
|
Characteristics of people:intelligence, creativity, anxiety, learning style etc. |
ATTRIBUTE |
|
|
Included in the research study to create interactions with the independent and dependent variables |
COVARIATE |
|
|
Quantitative in nature and is used in interval or ratio scale of measurement |
CONTINUOUS |
|
|
Has only two possible results: one or zero |
DICHOTOMOUS |
|
|
Cannot be directly observed like personality traits |
LATENT |
|
|
Can be directly observed to give proofs to latent variables |
MANIFESTS |
|
|
Found outside an identified model |
EXOGENOUS |
|
|
Found inside; as a part of identified model |
ENDOGENOUS |
|
|
The situation in life where you find difficulty in knowing or finding answers or solutions to questions causing you worries or perplexsities |
PROBLEMS |
|
|
Something that nurtures in your mind a difficulty or uncertainty , enough to push to do an empirical investigation whereby you search for answers for answers to a problem by collecting and analyzing data |

Approaches to Quantitative Research Questions |
DEDUCTIVE APPROACH INDUCTIVE APPROACH |
|
|
It goes from bigger ideas such as theories or concepts to smaller ideas |
DEDUCTIVE APPROACH |
|
|
Explains the meaning of a variable based on its involvement or role in the research process, particularly, in the measurement, manipulation, or control of the concept apllication |
OPERATIONAL DEFINITION |
|
|
Starts from smaller and simpler ideas to bigger or more complex ones
Central to this approach are specific details to prove the validity of a certain theory or concept |
INDUCTIVE APPROACH |
