27 Oct Qualitative studies typically utilize very large study sample

(1).Qualitative studies typically utilize very large study samples.

-True

 

-False

 

 

(2).Qualitative Studies:

 

-frequently have larger study sample sizes than other types of studies

 

-are a form of Randomized Controlled Trials

 

-are intrinsically easier to conduct than quantitative studies

 

-frequently have smaller study sample sizes than other types of studies

 

 

 

 

 

(3). Quantitative Research

 

-uses methods whereby the results are usually expressed in the form of numbers and systematic data collection protocols

 

-cannot be used in a monomethod research study

 

-cannot be used in a multi-method research study

 

-uses methods whereby the results are usually expressed in the form of themes, meanings and interpretations

 

 

 

(4).If a researcher wished to study the effectiveness of treatment and how the participants felt about the treatment and its side effects:

 

-a quantitative study would be the best way to do this research

 

-a quantitative study would be the best way to do this research

 

-this is amenable to a mixed methods study

 

-this is NOT amenable to a mixed methods study

 

 

 

(5). In mixed method research: 

 

-the qualitative component must precede the quantitative component

 

-the research is conducted in a laboratory

 

-the quantitative component must precede the qualitative component

 

-the order can be either way, i.e. qualitative/quantitative first or second, or contemporaneous

 

 

 

(6). Monomethod research involves:

 

-patient experience studies

 

-a triangulated approach to answering research questions

 

-doing research that does not have a specific hypothesis

 

-the use of one method of collecting data

 

 

 

(7). One of the disadvantages of face-to-face interviews in comparison to questionnaires is that:

 

-non-verbal cues can be recorded.

 

-interviewers may influence the participant’s answers.

 

-the interviewer can clarify problematic terminology.

 

-the interviewer can take an audio recording of the interview.

 

 

 

(8). A study is performed and then it is analyzed for reliability and predictive validity. The reliability (correlation) coefficient was 0.95 and the predictive validity coefficient being 0.21. What does this mean? 

 

-The study is not reliable.

 

-The study has face validity.

 

-The study is reliable but does not appear to measure the variable of interest.

 

-The study is reliable, so it must measure the variable of interest.
