How are Research Methods Important? l The method that is most appropriate depends on the hypothesis you wish to test. l The conclusions you can make depend on how you collect your data. l No single research study is conclusive.

What is Descriptive Research? l Measure and describe variables. –Observational –Survey –Archival –Physical Traces –Case Study

What is Relational Research? l Measure relationships between variables. –Correlational –Quasi-Experimental

What is Explanatory Research? l Experimental Designs l Measure causal relationships l Independent Variable is a variable the researcher manipulates l Dependent Variable is a variable the researcher measures to determine the effect of the i.v.
