12The following are types of research design:
Experimental design
Cross sectional design
Longitudinal design
Case study design
Comparative design- ATrue
- BFalse
13Experimental design is
- ANormally used by researchers to identify comparisons between experimental and control groups
Manipulation and intervention are normal features in experimental design research which may require consideration given to ethical issues
Rarely found within forms of business management - BOften called a social survey which entails the collection of data on a number of cases at a single point in time to detect patterns of association
- ANormally used by researchers to identify comparisons between experimental and control groups
14Cross sectional design
- AUsed to map change over a period of time. Can be used to study change within organisations, communities, populations, ect.
Normally conducted over a long period of time - BOften called a social survey which entails the collection of data on a number of cases at a single point in time to detect patterns of association
- CThe detailed analysis of a single case when the research is concerned with the complexity and particular nature of the case in question
Example cases may focus on an individual, community, organisations, location, event or business
- AUsed to map change over a period of time. Can be used to study change within organisations, communities, populations, ect.
15Longitudinal design...
- AThe detailed analysis of a single case when the research is concerned with the complexity and particular nature of the case in question
Example cases may focus on an individual, community, organisations, location, event or business - BUsed to map change over a period of time. Can be used to study change within organisations, communities, populations, ect.
Normally conducted over a long period of time - CA study using more or less identical methods of two or more contrasting cases
Represents the logic of comparison in that it implies that we can understand social phenomena better when compared to contrasting cases or situations
- AThe detailed analysis of a single case when the research is concerned with the complexity and particular nature of the case in question

18Sampling is incorporating a representative sample of the population in the research process
- ATrue
- BFalse
19Sampling is the process of
- Aselecting participants for research in order to obtain a sample of the research/survey population
- Bcollecting original data in the form of qualitative or quantitative data
20Why is sampling necessary?
- AIt is not normally feasible or effective to include every person or potential item in the random study
- BSampling enables the researcher to obtain a portion, or sample of the survey population
- CTo ensure that secondary sources are efficient
21Population is
- Athe total number of research subjects
- Bwhen it is possible to contact every research subject
22Census is...
- Awhen it is possible to contact every research subject
- Bthe total number of research subjects
23Sampling frame is the listing of all units in the population from which the sample will be selected
- ATrue
- BFalse
24A probability sample is a sample that has not been selected using a random selection method, implies that some units in the population are more likely to be selected than others
- ATrue
- BFalse
25A non-probability sample is a sample that has not been selected using a random selection method, implies that some units in the population are more likely to be selected than others
- ATrue
- BFalse
26A probability sample is
- AA sample that has not been selected using a random selection method, implies that some units in the population are more likely to be selected than others
- BA sample that has been selected using random selection so that each unit in the population has an equal chance of being selected
27Simple random, systematic, stratified random and multi-stage cluster are types of...
- AProbability sampling
- BNon-probability sampling
28Convenience, snowball and quota are types of...
- AProbability sampling
- BNon-probability sampling
29Simple random sampling means...
- AA population that is available and accessible to the researcher
- BChoice of respondents is left to the interviewer subject to the quotas being filled (e.g. age/gender)
- CEach unit has an equal opportunity for inclusion
30Systematic sampling means...
- ADivides the population into homogenous groups

- BA population that is available and accessible to the researcher
- CDivides the population into homogenous groups
- DEach unit has an equal opportunity for inclusion
32Multi-stage cluster sampling means...
- ASelect units from a sampling frame

- CChoice of respondents is left to the interviewer subject to the quotas being filled (e.g. age/gender)
- DSelect across a widely dispersed population
- ASelect units from a sampling frame
33Convenience sampling means...
- AEach unit has an equal opportunity for inclusion
- BDivides the population into homogenous groups
- CA population that is available and accessible to the researcher
34Snowball sampling means...
- AInitial contact individuals or groups establish contact with others
- BChoice of respondents is left to the interviewer subject to the quotas being filled (e.g. age/gender)
- CSelect units from a sampling frame
35Quota sampling means...
- ASelect across a widely dispersed population
- BChoice of respondents is left to the interviewer subject to the quotas being filled (e.g. age/gender)
- CA population that is available and accessible to the researcher
36The research design process is significant to present the most appropriate research methods to be employed in order to answer the research question/problem. This requires the consideration of sampling method to be used in order to reach a representative proportion of the population.
