LONG QUIZ REVIEWER

KINDS OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH:


 Descriptive Research – a kind of research used to understand the current state of a variable without
manipulating it.
 Correlational Research – a research method that examines relationships between fixed variables without
manipulation.
 Causal-Comparative/Quasi-Experimental Research – a research method is used to identify a cause and effect
relationship between two variables, where one variable is dependent and another is independent.
 Experimental Research – it is a research that is guided by a specific hypothesis or hypotheses.

METHODS USED IN DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH:


 Observation – often used to gather data without relying on survey respondents' honesty or accuracy.
 Surveys – are often used to gather a large amount of data that can be analyzed for frequencies, averages, and
patterns.
 Case studies – can be used to gather detailed information to identify characteristics of a narrowly defined
subject.

MAIN TYPES OF QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGNS:


 Nonequvalent Groups - a type of quasi-experimental design which involves groups that are similar, but only one
experiences treatment or variable.
 Regression Discontinuity - a type of quasi-experimental design that involves assigning participants based on an
arbitrary cutoff.
 Natural Experiment - These experiments are observational and are not considered true experiments.

TYPES OF EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH DESIGNS:


 Pre-Experimental – The experimental research design used to understand if further research is necessary for the
observed groups.
 True Experimental – The experimental research design that uses random sampling and statistical analysis to test
hypotheses.
 Quasi-Experimental – The experimental research design in which participants are not chosen at random.

FIELDS WHERE QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH IS COMMONLY APPLIED:


 Anthropology – the field where quantitative research is used to analyze fossils and DNA remnants.
 Medicine –
 Psychology –
 Social Science –
 Business – the field where quantitative research helps improve marketing strategies and make informed
business decisions.
 Communication – the field where quantitative research helps people understand communication phenomena
and direct their communication towards accomplishing individual and organizational goals.
