Demonstrates the abilities of the researcher
Is dependent on the completion of other projects
Demonstrates the integration of different fields of knowledge
Develops the skills of the researcher
2. Which form of reasoning is the process of drawing a specific conclusion from a set of premises?
Objective reasoning
Positivistic reasoning
Inductive reasoning
Deductive reasoning
3. Research that seeks to examine the findings of a study by using the same design but a different sample is which of the following?
An exploratory study
A replication study
An empirical study
Hypothesis testing
4. A researcher designs an experiment to test how variables interact to influence job-seeking behaviours. The main purpose of the study was:
Description
Prediction
Exploration
Explanation
5. Cyber bullying at work is a growing threat to employee job satisfaction. Researchers want to find out why people do this and how they feel about it. The primary purpose of the study is:
Description
Prediction
Exploration
Explanation
6. A theory:
Is an accumulated body of knowledge
Includes inconsequential ideas
Is independent of research methodology
Should be viewed uncritically
7. Which research method is a bottom-up approach to research?
Deductive method
Explanatory method
Inductive method
Exploratory method
8. How much confidence should you place in a single research study?
You should trust research findings after different researchers have replicated the findings
You should completely trust a single research study
Neither a nor b
Both a and b
9. A qualitative research problem statement:
Specifies the research methods to be utilized
Specifies a research hypothesis
Expresses a relationship between variables
Conveys a sense of emerging design
10. Which of the following is a good research question?
To produce a report on student job searching behaviours
To identify the relationship between self-efficacy and student job searching behaviours
Students with higher levels of self-efficacy will demonstrate more active job searching behaviours
Do students with high levels of self-efficacy demonstrate more active job searching behaviours?
11. A review of the literature prior to formulating research questions allows the researcher to :
A study that seeks to evaluate the findings of a study using the same design but a different sample is in the following:
Repetitive research:
Repetition of a term refers to the repetition of a research study, usually with different contexts and topics, in order to determine whether the basic findings of the actual research can be applied to other participants and conditions.
Empirical research:
If this indicates your current problem, it means you are in good company because below is a detailed guide to everything you need to know about the research being used.
Evidence-based research is a type of research that has been obtained or conclusions are primarily based on strong evidence or can be substantiated instead of rationality.
Hypothesis test:
A systematic approach is used by researchers to predict whether the results of a study support a population-based theory known as hypothesis testing.
It uses sample data to test a human hypothesis.
Experimental research:
Experimental research helps the researcher to develop an understanding of the research problem.
The purpose of this study is to examine the problem and the environment and not to draw conclusions.
This type of research helps the researcher to establish a solid foundation for his or her research and to select the appropriate research design.
You should trust the results of the study after the different researchers have repeated the findings b.
You should completely trust one study c.
Not even bd. Both a and b9.
Statement of a quality research problem statement:
Specifies the research methods to be used b.
A key defining feature of exploratory research is that Quality research is used in all of the following situations. EXTERNAL: Based on non-numerical data collections such as names and pictures.
It is usually used when much is already known about the topic of interest 10.
