Overview of quantitative research

by Angel Lou Garcia

What characterizes descriptive research in quantitative terms?

It proves causal relationships between variables.

It introduces new variables through manipulation.

It describes variables as they are, without manipulating them.

Which design involves measuring the same variables at one point in time?

Case-control study

Longitudinal experimental study

Cross-sectional descriptive study

What best defines correlational research?

Examines the relationship between variables without implying causation

Imposes an intervention to establish causality

Randomizes participants to groups to test differences

Which is true about correlation coefficients?

They only indicate causation

They range from -1 to +1, indicating strength and direction

They are always positive in real-world data

What is a key aim of experimental research?

To observe variables without intervention

To establish causal relationships through manipulation and randomization

To describe existing data only

Which element is essential in a true experiment?

Non-random selection of cases

Qualitative interviewing of participants

Random assignment of participants to conditions

What distinguishes descriptive statistics from inferential statistics?

Descriptive summarizes data; inferential generalizes to a population

Inferential summarizes data; descriptive generalizes

Both do the same with different names

In a quasi-experimental design, what is typically lacking?

Random assignment to groups

A control group

Pretest measures

Which threat is most associated with internal validity in experiments?

Sampling bias

Nonresponse bias

Confounding variables

Which statement best fits descriptive, correlational, and experimental designs?

They differ in manipulation, control, and inference about causality

They all prove causation without exceptions

They all manipulate variables

You can integrate the game into an LMS compatible with LTI 1.1 or LTI 1.3 such as Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard. This way, the scores will be automatically saved into the platform’s gradebook.
