Researcher

Method To research this study, the researcher analyzes a religious community through a “thick, rich description” (Geertz, 2001, p. 312). In this regard, the researcher collects the data, respectively, by interacting with the participants as a newcomer, observing communication and conversations among the members, and jotting down the descriptions of the atmosphere and settings in detail in the researcher’s private note. Overall, this section is divided into the following three sub categories:…

In January, the researcher began her student teaching with the intention of finding out how reading and discussing equality-related literature influences students’ attitudes toward race. She planned to have her students read a few texts with race as a central theme, and she would study their change or stagnation in attitude toward race over the semester through a triangulation process. Her data collection would begin and end with Harvard’s Project Implicit Race IAT, found at…

Shaw, Melvin N. Wilson, Thomas J. Dishion, Frances Gardner, and Luke W. Hyde. In this study the researchers set out to study whether or not problems that occur in later childhood can be predicted by early childhood behaviors. The first step in the study was to get a good group of participants. For this study seven hundred thirty-one pairs consisting of a mother and a child were recruited. The researchers did not accept just anybody, each child needed to fit into at least two out of three…

(2016). Occupation-Based intervention for addictive disorders: A systematic review. Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment 62, 1-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jsat.2015.11.011 The researchers of this article aim to discuss the importance and value that one’s occupation may hold in regards to achieving and maintaining sobriety. The researchers accurately define and discuss the defining aspect of one’s occupation as well as exploring the meaning one’s occupation holds for that person. The goal for this…

Critical Appraisal of Quantitative Research Introduction Abstract. The abstract consisted of one paragraph, total of ten sentences, which includes the purpose, design, sampling, and results. Researchers expanded on results but did not include conclusion. Relevant information such as sample size, study design, measure outcomes, and results were included. Problem. New nurse graduates are leaving their first employment at a high rate in Taiwan. There is a high shortage of nurses in Taiwan,…

influence of Google search in the student’s research abilities? CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY In this chapter it focuses on the methods that the researchers used and techniques followed for achieving this research. The methods define everything that need to construct, especially on the materials that the researchers used. In here, the researchers will discuss on how the research is being done. By…

One of the key criteria addressed by positivist researchers is that of internal validity, in which they seek to ensure that their study measures or tests what is actually intended. According to Merriam (1998), the qualitative investigator’s equivalent concept is analogous to internal validity and deals with the question: “How congruent are the research findings with reality. However, according to the philosophy underlying qualitative research, reality is relative to meaning that people construct…

Ethical issue When one is collecting research at a facility the researcher is required to maintain confidentiality if an agreement has been signed. However, they also be mandated by the laws of the states to report abuse as “18 states require reporting by anyone with reason to suspect child abuse”(). Keeping in mind the definition of child abuse may be different from state. In addition, the researchers may also be by other “legal and ethical guidelines such as social workers, educators, and…

These days many researchers are trying to figure out why things cause other things. These are called correlation studies. The process in seeing how things relate to each other and affect one another. Yet many correlations are false. It is not a valid way of proving a point. Many correlations have nothing to do with each other. In this study researchers decided that since vitamins are related to crime they cause it. Vitamins do not cause crimes it is a illusory correlation. There is no proof…

Constructing Grounded Theory: Chapter 1 and 2 Kathy Charmaz’s book is one of the useful ones when it comes to the construction of grounded theory that is applicable to untrained and more experienced researchers. Carrying out summary and reflection of the book could provide a great overview of understanding the qualitative research methods presented by Charmaz. For this summary and reflection of the book, the focus will be majorly on the chapter 1, An Invitation to Grounded Theory and chapter 2,…
