Qualitative studies typically utilize very large study sample

(1).Qualitative studies typically utilize very large study samples.

-True

-False

(2).Qualitative Studies:

-frequently have larger study sample sizes than other types of studies

-are a form of Randomized Controlled Trials

-are intrinsically easier to conduct than quantitative studies

-frequently have smaller study sample sizes than other types of studies

(3). Quantitative Research

-uses methods whereby the results are usually expressed in the form of numbers and systematic data collection protocols

-cannot be used in a monomethod research study

-cannot be used in a multi-method research study

-uses methods whereby the results are usually expressed in the form of themes, meanings and interpretations

(4).If a researcher wished to study the effectiveness of treatment and how the participants felt about the treatment and its side effects:

-a quantitative study would be the best way to do this research

-a quantitative study would be the best way to do this research

-this is amenable to a mixed methods study

-this is NOT amenable to a mixed methods study

(5). In mixed method research: 

-the qualitative component must precede the quantitative component

-the research is conducted in a laboratory

-the quantitative component must precede the qualitative component

-the order can be either way, i.e. qualitative/quantitative first or second, or contemporaneous

(6). Monomethod research involves:

-patient experience studies

-a triangulated approach to answering research questions

-doing research that does not have a specific hypothesis

-the use of one method of collecting data

(7). One of the disadvantages of face-to-face interviews in comparison to questionnaires is that:

-non-verbal cues can be recorded.

-interviewers may influence the participant’s answers.

-the interviewer can clarify problematic terminology.

-the interviewer can take an audio recording of the interview.

(8). A study is performed and then it is analyzed for reliability and predictive validity. The reliability (correlation) coefficient was 0.95 and the predictive validity coefficient being 0.21. What does this mean? 

-The study is not reliable.

-The study has face validity.

-The study is reliable but does not appear to measure the variable of interest.

-The study is reliable, so it must measure the variable of interest.
