  • 2. 

    The two variables needing identification are...

    • Independent and dependent

    • Independent and co-dependent

    • Only one variable should be considered within the research question

    • Null and alternative

    Correct Answer
    A. Independent and dependent
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Independent and dependent." In research, the independent variable is the one that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher, while the dependent variable is the one that is measured or observed to determine the effect of the independent variable. These variables are important in establishing cause-and-effect relationships in a study.

    Research questions are based on components of...

    • Clinical experiences

    • Research problems

    • Principles behind clinical theories

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Research questions can be based on various components, including clinical experiences, research problems, and the principles behind clinical theories. Clinical experiences provide firsthand observations and insights that can be used to formulate research questions. Research problems, on the other hand, are issues or gaps in knowledge that researchers aim to address through their studies. Additionally, the principles behind clinical theories can also serve as a basis for research questions, as researchers may seek to explore, validate, or expand upon these principles. Therefore, all of the given options can contribute to the formulation of research questions.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Which of the following criteria does not need to be met in forming a research question?

    • 'So what' test

    • Feasibility

    • Receiving an 'A' in Research 523 903

    • Answerable

    Correct Answer
    A. Receiving an 'A' in Research 523 903
    Explanation
    The criteria of receiving an 'A' in Research 523 903 does not need to be met in forming a research question. This is because the grade received in a specific research course does not determine the quality or validity of a research question. The other criteria listed, such as the 'So what' test, feasibility, and being answerable, are all important considerations in forming a research question as they ensure the question is relevant, achievable, and can be effectively answered.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Research objectives should be descriptive, address the reliability/validity of measuring tools, explore relationships and....

    Correct Answer
    compare cause/effect relationships
    Explanation
    The research objectives should include comparing cause/effect relationships. This means that the study aims to investigate the relationship between a specific cause and its effect. By comparing different cause and effect scenarios, researchers can determine if there is a causal relationship between variables. This helps in understanding the factors that influence certain outcomes and can be useful in designing interventions or making informed decisions based on the findings.
