Across
- 4. Original description of a study prepared by the researcher who conducted it.
- 5. The degree to which an instrument measures what it purports to measure.
- 9. Achieved through accurate measuring tools, controls over confounding variables, and powerful statistical methods.
- 10. Sampling to the point at which no new information is obtained and redundancy is achieved.
- 12. The peak is off center and one tail is longer than the other.
- 13. Confidence in the truth of the data and interpretations of them.
- 16. Stability of data over time and conditons.
- 21. Researchers view the text as a whole and try to capture its meanings.
- 23. Rank evidence sources according to the strength of the evidence they provide.
- 27. Seeks solutions to existing problems and tends to be of greater immediate utility of EBP.
- 28. Method of integrating quantitative findings statistically.
- 29. The process of selecting a portion of the population for a study.
- 31. A code that is not possible
- 33. Used to predict outcomes.
- 35. The ability of a measure to detect change over time in a construct that has changed, commensurate with the amount of change that has occurred.
- 36. ANOVA context, the variance is referred to as...
- 37. Technique of asking participants to take photographs of themselves and then interpret them.
- 39. Documents the extent to which the goals of the program are attained.
- 40. Involves judgements about whether findings from an inquiry can be extrapolated to a different setting or group of people.
- 41. Route respondents through different sets of questions depending on the responses.
- 44. Focuses on the lived experiences of humans and is an approach to learning what the life experiences of people are like and what they mean.
- 45. Distribution with two peaks.
- 46. Reflect the ratio of two probabilities.
Down
- 1. Relationship where the participants in the qualitative strand are a subset of the participants in the quantitative strand.
- 2. Involves exposing the same people to more than one condition.
- 3. Tendency of observers to be influenced by one characteristic in judging other, unrelated, characteristics.
- 6. Influence that distorts study results.
- 7. Focuses on story in studies in which purpose is to explore how people make sense of events in their lives.
- 8. Refers to the accuracy and consistency of information obtained in a study.
- 11. The extent to which the sample is similar to the population and avoids bias.
- 14. Participants have adequate information about the research.
- 15. Enhances the base of knowledge or to formulate or refine a theory.
- 17. A design that emerges in the field as the study unfolds.
- 18. Statement of predicted relationships between two or more variables.
- 19. Observed result could reflect chance fluctuations.
- 20. Risks no greater than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during routine tests or procedures.
- 22. Evaluations are the cornerstone.
- 24. Characteristic or quality that takes on different values.
- 25. Paradigm most often associated with Mixed Methods research.
- 26. A system of classifying and organizing terms.
- 30. A daily record of events and conversations in the field.
- 32. Relationship or association between two variables.
- 34. Specific query researchers want to answer in addressing the research problem.
- 38. Careful appraisal of a study's strengths and weaknesses.
- 42. Effects of Taking a pretest on people's performance on a posttest.
- 43. A listing of each variable together with information about placement in the file, codes associated with the values values of the variable, and other basic information.
