CHAPTER OBJECTIVES After completing Chapter 5. you should be able to 1) Identify and label variables associated with any given situation. 2) Trace and establish the links among the variables and evolve a theoretical framework 3) Develop a set of hypotheses to be tested and state them in the null and the alternate. 4) Apply what has been learned to a research project.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES After completing this chapter you should be able to : 1. Understand the different aspects relevant to designing a research study. 2. Identify the scope of any given study and the end use of the results. 3. Decide for any given situation the type of investigation needed, the study setting, the extent of researcher interference, the unit of analysis, and the time horizon of the study.
4. Identify which of the two, a causal or a correlational study, would be more appropriate in a given situation.
