research aims
broad statements (not questions) that include the entire intent of the work being done. Not necessarily well operationalized yet.
research questions
questions often split up into more general and more specific questions, often taking the form of a hierarchy of questions.
research hypotheses
statements about the relationships you expect to find between constructs. created based on your question.
directional ("one-way" or "one-tailed") hypothesis
when the direction of the expected relationship is predicted based on theory or prior work
nondirectional ("two-way" or "two-tailed") hypothesis
when the direction of the relationship is not predicted
deductive research
looks at theory and specifies a fact that the theory predicts, thus, there must be a hypothesis. theory>hypothesis>observation>confirmation
inductive research
looks at facts and creates theory, purely inductive research never has hypotheses. Observation>Pattern>Tentative Hypothesis>Theory
causality
must have 1) association 2) time order and 3) lack of spurious causality
spurious causality
when the relationships between two factors (A and B) is caused by a third factor (X)
internal validity
a study that measures the constructs and variables is says it's measuring (no threats to internal validity)
Sampling terms
Universal Population (Everyone)>Population of interest (who you want to generalize to)>Sampling frame (people eligible)>Study Sample
random assignment
randomly assigning your study samples (subjects) to a treatment and control group
