| Question Text | Answer Text |
| How should your research question look like if your state of prior theory and research is nascent? (Nascent theory) | Opend-ended inquiry about phenomenon of interest |
| How should your research question look like if your state of prior theory and research is intermediate? (Intermediate theory) | Proposed relationship between new and established constructs |
| How should your research question look like if your state of prior theory and research is mature? (Mature theory) | Focused hypotheses relating existing constructs |
| What data should be collected if your state of prior theory and research is nascent? (Nascent theory) | Qualitative data |
| What data should be collected if your state of prior theory and research is intermediate? (Intermediate theory) | both qualitative and quantitative data |
| What data should be collected if your state of prior theory and research is mature? (Mature theory) | Quantitative data |
| What methods for collecting data should be applied when your state of prior theory and research is nascent? (Nascent theory) | Interviews, observations |
| What methods for collecting data should be applied when your state of prior theory and research is intermediate? (Intermediate theory) | Interviews, observations, surveys |
| What methods for collecting data should be applied when your state of prior theory and research is mature? (Mature theory) | Surveys, interviews, field studies |
| The three classes of research methods are... | - Descriptive research - Correlation research - Experimental research |
| What is a way of fixing the imperfection problem of all methods? | Mixed-methods (more than one method to allow for triangulation) |
| What is the "sample"? | Group of people you are observing |
| What characteristics should your sample have? | Validity and representativeness |
| What is the "population"? | All the people you could have (theoretically) worked with --> Sample is the representative of population |
| What does "proof-of-concept" mean? | That you pick a sample that shows what you want to obseerve |
| What are the 2 sampling techniques? | Probability sampling Non-probability sampling |
| What characteristic does Probability Sampling have? | Each member of population has equal probability of being selected |
| What characteristic does Non-Probability Sampling have? | The chance of each unit being selected is unknown or predefined |
| Probability Sampling can be parted into three special techniques, which are ... | - Random sampling - Stratified sampling (population segmented in subgroups and then radomly selcted) - Cluster sampling (units are clustered in hierarchical stages and then selection in each stage) |
| Non-Probability Sampling can be parted into five special techniques, which are ... | - Convenience sampling - Quota sampling - Snowball sampling - Judgement sampling - Theoretical sampling |
| When respondents are selected in part or in whole at the convenience of the researcher, this method is called... | Convenience Sampling |
| A convenience sample, with effort made to ensure a certain distribution of demograpic variables is called... | Quota Sampling |
| A sampling technique emplyed to reach hard-to-reach populations and subgroups is called... | Snowball sampling |
| When the researcher uses his/her judgement to select the sample, this technique is called... | Judgement Sampling |
| The technique where only extreme or specific cases are selected is called... | Theoretical Sampling |
