  2. 5. 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.
  3. 6. A code that is not possible
  4. 8. Influence that distorts study results.
  5. 9. 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.
  6. 13. Involves judgements about whether findings from an inquiry can be extrapolated to a different setting or group of people.
  7. 14. The process of selecting a portion of the population for a study.
  8. 15. Rank evidence sources according to the strength of the evidence they provide.
  9. 16. Method of integrating quantitative findings statistically.
  10. 17. 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.
  11. 18. Used to predict outcomes.
  12. 21. Seeks solutions to existing problems and tends to be of greater immediate utility of EBP.
  13. 24. Focuses on story in studies in which purpose is to explore how people make sense of events in their lives.
  14. 25. Tendency of observers to be influenced by one characteristic in judging other, unrelated, characteristics.
  15. 27. Risks no greater than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during routine tests or procedures.
  16. 28. Specific query researchers want to answer in addressing the research problem.
  17. 29. Statement of predicted relationships between two or more variables.
  18. 32. A design that emerges in the field as the study unfolds.
  19. 33. Involves exposing the same people to more than one condition.
  20. 34. ANOVA context, the variance is referred to as...
  21. 35. Characteristic or quality that takes on different values.
  22. 36. Careful appraisal of a study's strengths and weaknesses.

  3. 4. Distribution with two peaks.
  4. 7. Documents the extent to which the goals of the program are attained.

  6. 10. Original description of a study prepared by the researcher who conducted it.
  7. 11. Observed result could reflect chance fluctuations.
  8. 12. The extent to which the sample is similar to the population and avoids bias.
  9. 18. Refers to the accuracy and consistency of information obtained in a study.
  10. 19. The degree to which an instrument measures what it purports to measure.
  11. 20. Sampling to the point at which no new information is obtained and redundancy is achieved.
  12. 22. Achieved through accurate measuring tools, controls over confounding variables, and powerful statistical methods.
  13. 23. Route respondents through different sets of questions depending on the responses.
  14. 26. The peak is off center and one tail is longer than the other.
