METHODS OF RESEARCH Developed by B.Jolamanova

1. Choose the appropriate chronological sequence in building up your survey:

A. Collect the data B. Record, analyze, and interpret the data C. Decide how to measure the information

D. Clarify the purposes of the research E Choose interviewing methodology (questionnaire or interview)

a) DECAB b) EABCD c) DAEBC d) CABDE

2. Which of the following is NOT a typical feature of an experiment:

a) allocation of samples to different experimental conditions b) selection of a single case of a situation, individual or groupc) measure­ment on a small number of variables d) introduction of planned changes on one or more variables

3. A field experiment is: a) deliberate manipulation of the independent variable in the participants’ own environmentb) Usually carried out in an artificial situation, the researcher attempts to control for as many confounding variables by using standardized procedures

c) recording the effect of the independent variable, which is changed by natural occurrences, on the dependent variable d) randommanipulation of the independent variable in the participants’ own environment

4. Role limitations is a/n ___________of participant observation. a) advantage b) disadvantage c) feature d) strength

5. Bias is a disadvantage of ___ observation. a) participant b) non-participant c) structured d) structured

6. Which of the following is NOT a typical feature of the case study:

a) study of the case in its context b) selection of a single case of a situation, individual or group of interest or concern

c) allocation of samples to different experimental conditionsd) multi-method approach

7. A hybrid type of case study is ____ a) snapshot b) longitudinal c) patchworkd) comparative

8. The sampling when respondents are stopped in the street and asked is called a _________sampling.

9. Which of the following is a disadvantage of survey: a) They provide large amount of data at relatively low cost, in a short time b) There are undetected ambiguities in understanding the survey questions
