If a Researcher Adjusts the Data-Collection Process When It Appears

question 24

True/False

If a researcher adjusts the data-collection process when it appears that additional concepts or relationships need to be explored and investigated, this is called progressive focusing.

Comprehend the quasi-experimental design and its limitations, including the lack of random assignment.

Recognize the factors that contribute to the external validity of a study.

Acknowledge the role of qualitative research methods in exploring the meanings people attach to problems or issues.

Understand the primary focus and purpose of grounded theory in social research.

Definitions:

Inductive

Pertaining to the property of inductance, where a change in electric current through a conductor induces an electromotive force in both the conductor itself and any nearby conductors.

True

In alignment with reality or fact; not false.

Reactive

Reactive, in an electrical context, relates to components or systems that store energy temporarily in electric or magnetic fields, affecting phase angles between voltage and current.

Inductive

Pertaining to inductance, the property of an electrical conductor by which a change in current through it induces an electromotive force (EMF) in both the conductor itself and in any nearby conductors by mutual inductance.
