Final Research exam 1 i. Description and comparison of descriptive and explanatory research. The explanatory investigation is the introductory research within hypothetical thought. The study has t... he design and aims at observing something and seeks to get more understanding. Explanatory research seeks to lay the groundwork that leads to future investigations or determine whether the existing theories might explain the phenomenon under study. On the other hand, descriptive investigation endeavor to explore and clarify while providing additional information to the topic under investigation. The research aims at filling up the missing information, describing what is happening while expanding the knowledge. Explanatory studies are based on data collection other than guesswork to construct a predictive model. ii. The given article is an illustrative, also known as an explanatory study, typically since they ponder points to look at the relationship between trust, relatedness need, and user fulfillment with SNSs. iii. One hypothesis in the study HI: individuals' relatedness needs fulfillments are emphatically related to their satisfaction with SNSs. iv. The null hypothesis is a hypothesis that says there is no statistical significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that research is trying to disprove. In the given hypothesis in (ii) above This study source was downloaded by 100000784424693 from CourseHero.com on 06-17-2021 04:50:02 GMT -05:00 https://www.coursehero.com/file/72668138/exam-results-finaldocx/ This study resource was shared via CourseHero.comNull individuals' relatedness needs fulfillments are not emphatically related to their satisfaction with SNSs. v. An independent variable is a variable that affects other variables, whereas the dependent variable is a variable that changes as a result of the alter within the independent variable. vi. From hypothesis in (iii) above The independent variable is individuals' satisfaction with SNSs, while the dependent variable is relatedness need satisfaction. vii. The population is an extensive collection of individuals or objects that are known to have similar characteristics, and you wish to generalize your research. In this study, the population is students from a large state university in the U.S. viii. The sampling frame is a list of all elements in the study population in which samples will be drawn. The study implemented a sampling frame where a list of all students' at entry business classes was used to sample 221 students. ix. Random sampling is a process of choosing elements or objects in the population under investigation into the sample. The study implemented a random sampling to get a sample size of 221 students from the university's list. x. Data generation occurred in the laboratories where each participant accessed the website to complete the research questionnaires. So the production was over the internet. However, an internet survey was not appropriate for this study since the research questions could be printed and administered to the participant in the laboratory. [Show More]
