Research Methods QuizOnline version Essential concepts from sample slides and notes. by Carlo Fernandez 1 What is the purpose of the research problem in a study? a It states the area of concern the study will address. b It provides the research budget. c It describes the data collection tools. d It lists the final results. 2 What are Creswell & Clark’s two main types of research questions? a Hypotheses and propositions b Qualitative and quantitative c Descriptive and inferential d Central questions and sub-questions 3 Give an example of a continuous variable. a Age b Gender c Marital status d Education level (categorical) 4 What differentiates scope from delimitation in a study? a Scope concerns ethics; delimitation concerns timeline b Scope is the literature review; delimitation is the data analysis. c Scope is about budget; delimitation is about audience. d Scope defines the variables studied; delimitation lists what is not included. 5 What is a dependent variable? a A constant in the study b A variable that changes in response to the independent variable. c An unrelated variable d The variable the researcher changes 6 What is a variable in research terms? a A fixed attribute that never changes b A type of data collection tool c A characteristic that can have different values across participants. d A theoretical concept only 7 What should a research title ideally include? a The exact data values collected b The full literature review c The funding source d The main topic, key variables, and the study population/site 8 What is a qualitative study primarily aimed at doing? a Testing a predefined hypothesis b Learning about views and processes over time to generate theories c Estimating population means d Measuring variables numerically 9 What are the three kinds of variables described in scope-and-delimitation slides? a Independent, dependent, confounding b Nominal, ordinal, interval c Continuous, discrete, and categorical d Primary, secondary, tertiary 10 What is a delimitation of the study? a Constraints identifying what the study will not cover and its limits b The ethical approval document c The data cleaning procedures d The sample size calculation only 11 What is the basic role of a research problem in a study? a It defines the area of concern and guides the study. b It lists all literature on the topic. c It sets the budget and timeline. d It provides the final results. 12 Which element should a general research problem typically express? a Central phenomenon to understand or describe b Exact data values c Participant personal details d The sampling method to be used 13 What is a central question in qualitative research? a The numerical test to reject a hypothesis b The budget and ethics approval c The instrument to be used for data collection d The broad issue the study seeks to understand 14 What are sub-questions in a qualitative study? a Specific questions that break down the central question b Questions unrelated to the topic c Questions about budget d Questions about publication venues 15 Which type of research questions isolates factors? a Descriptive hypothesis questions b Factor-relating questions c Factor-isolating questions d Non-researchable questions 16 What is a factor-relating question designed to do? a List variables with no relation b Explore relationships among identified factors c Prove a causal theory beyond doubt d Describe a single variable 17 What is meant by scope in a research study? a The researcher's personal interests b The extent and boundaries of the research variables c The speed of data collection d The publication date window 18 What is delimitation in research? a The lab equipment used b The ethical approval process c The data cleaning steps d Boundaries that define what is included and excluded 19 Which variable type includes continuous values like age or weight? a Qualitative variable b Discrete variable c Continuous variable d Categorical variable 20 What characterizes a discrete variable? a Has infinite values b Is always qualitative c Cannot be measured numerically d Has specific, countable values 21 What characterizes categorical variables? a Exact numerical scales b Only binary values c Always ordinal data d Descriptive terms, not numeric values 22 What should a well-formed research title include? a The publishing journal b The researcher’s age c Main idea, key variables, and participants d The funding source 23 Which guideline helps form a good research title? a Ignore the study site b Avoid any variables c Include major variables and participants d Exclude the population studied 24 Why should a title be concise (15 substantive words max)? a To decrease readership b To meet funding requirements c To obscure study details d For clarity and quick understanding 25 What is the purpose of scope and delimitation statements? a List all references b Describe participant emotions c Clarify what is included and what is not d Explain the statistical tests used 26 What is an example of a delimitation boundary? a Including all possible schools in the country b Focusing on a specific school or location c Including non-human subjects d Using every data collection method 27 What is the difference between population and sample in research scope? a Population is smaller than the sample b There is no difference c Population is the total group; sample is a subset d Sample equals population 28 Which element should the general problem begin with? a A central phenomenon or issue b The study’s budget c The vendor selection process d The literature review only 29 What is a qualitative central question example? a What is the meaning of intrapersonal competencies? b What are the p-values? c What is the data entry method? d What is the sample size? 30 What should sub-questions provide? a Exclusion criteria only b Budgetary approvals c Depth and detail to the central question d A new unrelated topic 31 Which type of questions are non-researchable? a Descriptive questions with data b Factor-relating questions c Hypothesis-testing questions d Value questions answerable by yes/no 32 What is the purpose of variables in a study? a They decide the data entry format b They set the publication order c They determine the funding d They define what is measured and analyzed 33 What does a literature-informed scope help determine? a The funding amount b Relevant variables and contexts c The final conclusion only d The exact data values to collect 34 What is the role of participants in the sample definition? a They are the journals used b They are the data storage devices c They are the individuals studied or surveyed d They are irrelevant to the study 35 What is meant by a study site in research? a Location where the research is conducted b Where the funding comes from c Where data is stored d Where the results are published 36 What is the meaning of a It is irrelevant to the study b The question is invalid c The meaning could not be interpreted d The literal wording only 37 How many questions would be typical for a 40-item set on research basics? a 40 items b 20 items c 80 items d 60 items 38 Which aspect is essential to describe in a research problem? a The central phenomenon and population b The publication year of references c The color of the data sheets d The room temperature of the lab 39 What is the aim of Creswell and Clark guidelines cited in the materials?
