Presentation Transcript

Research Design: Causal Studies • Quick Review: Three general forms of quantitative research studies • Descriptive: Describes a situation • Relational : Relationship between variables • Causal: Seeks to show a cause and effect. • Internal Validity: The approximate truth of inferences regarding cause-effect or causal relationships. • Establishing Cause & Effect • Single-Group Threats • Multiple-Group Threats • “Social” Interaction Threats • Research Design & Design Notations

Correlational and Causal Comparative Research. Definition and Purpose . Correlational research involves the collection of data to determine the extent to which two (or more) variables are related. If a relationship exists, we say that the two variables covary in some non-random way.
