1
Q

The overall approach to or outline of the study that details all the major components of the research

A

Research design

2
Q

Research to explore and describe a phenomenon of interest and generate new knowledge

A

Exploratory status

3
Q

Research in which a relationship between variables has been posed and the study is designed to examine this hypothesis

A

Confirmatory studies

4
Q

Characteristic, event, or response that represents the elements of the research question in a detectable or measurable way.

A

Variable

5
Q

Characteristics that describe the sample and provide a composite picture of the subjects of the study; they are not manipulated or controlled by the researcher

A

Descriptive variables

6
Q

7
Q

An outcome of interest that occurs after the introduction of an independent variable; the “effect” of “cause and effect”

8
