EVALUATIVE EXAM- RESEARCH
Total points35/50
1. Qualitative researches often have emergent research design which means that:
A. Research design regarding data collection and analysis may depend on the course of data
collection and associated processes
B. Topics that are poorly understood by most people can also be addressed by changing
research design
C. Qualitative researchers are required to strictly follow guidelines decided prior to data
collection
D. The design involves combination of both quantitative and qualitative approaches
Correct answer
A. Research design regarding data collection and analysis may depend on the course of data
collection and associated processes
2. The use of triangulation can be seen in which specific type of research?
A. Clinical research
B. Descriptive qualitative research
C. Mixed method research
D. Participatory action research
3. Scope in a particular study is best defined as
A. Overall coverage of the research
B. Stipulated exclusions of the study
C. Possible limitations of the study
D. Probable weakness that the study will possess
4. Hawthorne effect can be illustrated by which of the following research situations?
A. Nurses decide to surf the net while answering pretest on HIV
B. Nurses frequently perform hand hygiene after knowing that their supervisor is scheduled
for observation
C. Researchers decide to distribute the questionnaires to nurse respondents in the non-busy
hours of the morning time
D. Two participants of the control group decide to withdraw from the study
5. In terms of hierarchical evidences, the research design that provides accurate
conclusive evidences would be:
A. Randomized controlled trial
B. Descriptive
C. Correlational
D. Quasi- experimental
6. Researches have higher external validity when:
A. They have been replicated several times by previous studies
B. They have limited homogenous sample
C. Threats related to selection, loss of respondents, history and maturation are reduced.
D. The statistical power is enhanced by larger sample taken out from the population7. The researcher determined a significant difference in the level of pain of laboring
mothers who received tactile stimulation and those who did not. To establish that it is
indeed tactile stimulation that is responsible in pain reduction, the researcher checks
on:
A. Construct validity
B. External validity
C. Internal validity
D. Internal reliability
Correct answer
D. Internal reliability
8. True experimental researches generally have higher internal validity due to the fact
that there are no threats related to temporal ambiguity. This is because experimental
research design is inherently:
A. Highly controlled
B. Manipulative
C. Prospective
D. Retrospective
Correct answer
C. Prospective
9. The use of opinion polls survey to determine the selected population’s attitude over
time can be classified as which type of longitudinal research design?
A. Cohort
B. Follow up
C. Panel
D. Trend
Correct answer
D. Trend
10. The control group in an experiment usually receives the
A. Active element of the intervention
B. Higher intensity of the treatment
C. Manipulated intervention
D. Usual standard procedure
11. Which of the following is the main advantage of a non-experimental research
design?
A. It can gather information to several variables in larger sample from a population in a short
period of time
B. It can testify the validity of conclusions due to homogeneity of samples under investigation
C. It contains counterfactual that strengthens internal validity of findings
D. Stronger conclusions are generated due to a highly controlled effect on confounding
variables.
