Term
Inductive
Definition
the logical process of developing generalization based on specific observation or fact.
Term
Deductive
Definition
The logical process of developing specific hypotheses based on general principle.
Term
Positivism
Definition
singular reality that can be measured, observed , we all see the same thing. reality exists outside of your observation. Associated with deductive reasoning.
Term
Naturalism
Definition
Reality not fixed, everyone has their own unique experience. 2 researcher may get different results. Generally associated with inductive reasoning.
Term
Qualitative
Definition
More concerned with the deep understanding of a phenomenon through narrative description, which typically is obtained under less structured condition. Measurement based on open ended question, interview, and observation, as the researcher attamps to capture the context of the data to better understand how phenomena are experienced by individual.
Term
Quantitative
Definition
Involves measurement of outcomes using numerical data under standardize condition.information my be obtained using formal instruments which address physical or physiological parameters, or by putting subjective information into an objective numerical scale.
Term
Research Problem
Definition
Once a topic identified, the precess of clarifying a research problem, begins buy sorting through ideas, facts and theories based on clinical experiences and professional literature to determine, what we know. what we don't know, and what we need to find out. The application of this information will lead to identification or research problem that will provide the foundation for delineating pacific research question.
Term
Hypothesis
Definition
A statement of the expected relationship between variables. Educed guess about the outcomes of the study.
Term
Theory
Definition
Created out of the need to organize and give meaning to a complex collection of individual facts and observation. Is a set of interrelated concepts, definition, or propositions that specifies relationship among variables and represent a systematic view of pacific phenomenon.
Term
Research Question
Definition
The research problem or issue that leads to the need for a study.
Term
Depended Variable
Definition
Your outcomes. It is depended on the results of the independent variable.
Term
In-depended Variable
Definition
The variable that is presumed to cause, explain, or influence another variable. A variable that is manipulated to controlled by the researcher, the one that influence or cause something; the thing we manipulated; it causes or leads to the depended variables.
Term
Basic/ Pure Research
Definition
Done to obtain emperical data that can be used to develope, refine, or thest a theory. Directed towatred the acquisition of new knowledge for its own sake, motivated by intellectual curiosity, without reference to potential practical use of results. done in laboratory usually.
Term
Applied Research
Definition
Directed toward solving immediate practical problem with functional application and testing a theories that direct practice. Usually carried out under actual practice condition on subject who represent the group to which the results will be applied. Most clinical research fall into this category.
Term
Descriptive
Definition
When we don't know much about a phenomena or concept. you night be doing or asking broad survey research to get a lot of information form a lot of people, or you might be doing qualitative research about the experience and meaning.
Term
Naturalism
Definition
Reality not fixed, everyone has their own unique experience. 2 researcher may get different results. Generally associated with inductive reasoning.
Term
Correlation
Definition
When you know something about one of the variables or concepts or something about the phenomena. It is to understand the relationship between two different concepts. we are not making a prediction about the diction something is going to change. all we are doing is a,asking prediction that there is a relationship between these two things.
Term
Causal
Definition
When you already have an established relationship. we are asking why is there relationship? we want to know the theory behind the knowledge. Our purpose with the question is to be able to predict reality and provide theory to explain relationship. Experiment research only.
Term
Confidential
Definition
You know the subject but information remains private.
Term
Anonymous
Definition
You don't know that subject.
Term
Beneficence
Definition
To minimize harm and maximize benefit to research participates. To avoid harm of any kind, and to prevent exploitation even with vulnerebale population.
Term
Self Determination
Definition
Individual have to decided whether or not they are going to participate in your research. They have the right to withdraw at any time and there ca not be any penalty for them if they withdraw.
Term
Full Disclosure
Definition
Describe the study to the participants in the language they can understand. They need to understand the nature of the study, the risk, the benefits, and what their sels determination rights. The also need to be informed of the duties of the researcher in the study.
Term
Justice
Definition
The right to fair treatment, and the right to privacy. The right to fair treatment states that potentially anyone in the population pool has equal access to participation. The right to privacy states they can not disclosed who participating in the study outside of the study.
Term
Informed Consent
Definition
Self determination and full disclosure combine from this basis. Everyone in research need to have.
Term
Source for Research Topic
Definition
A need to know the unknown, resolve a conflict, clarify some pieces of information that is not sufficient documented, a certain target population, a specific type of intervention, a clinical theory, or a fundamental policy issue in the profession.
Term
Between Subject
Definition
Experimental design that is based on the comparison between independence groups.
Term
Washout Period
Definition
In the cross over design, the period of time between administration of the two treatment, allowing effect of the experimental treatment to dissipate.
Term
Within Subject
Definition
Treatment effects are associated with differences observed within a subject across treatment condition, rather than between subject across randomized group.
Term
Retrospective
Definition
A study design that analyzes observation that were collected in the past.
Term
Prospective
Definition
A study designed to Collete following development of the research question.
Term
Longitudinal Design
Definition
Design to collect data over time, usually for the purpose of describing development changes in a particular group.
Term
Efficacy
Definition
Benefits on an innervation as tested under controlled experimental condition, usually in a controlled group in a randomized control trial.
Term
Effectiveness
Definition
Benefits of an intervention as tested under real world condition, often using quasi- experimental methods.
Term
Cross Selection
Definition
A study based on obersvation of different age or developmental group at one point in time, providing the basis for inferring trends over time.
