1 Chapter Eight: Quantitative Methods RESEARCH DESIGN Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches Third Edition John W. Creswell
2 Chapter Outline Defining Surveys and Experiments Components of a Survey Method Plan The Survey Design The Population and Sample Instrumentation Variables in the Study Data Analysis and Interpretation Components of an Experimental Method Plan Participants Variables Instrumentation and Materials Experimental Procedures Threats to Validity The Procedure Data Analysis Interpreting Results
3 Defining Surveys Survey Design To provide a quantitative description of trends, attitudes, or opinions of a population Components of a Survey Method Plan The Survey Design The Population and Sample Instrumentation Variables in the Study Data Analysis and Interpretation
4 A Survey Method Plan The Survey Design Provide a rationale for using a survey Indicate the type of survey design: Cross-sectional (data collected at one point in time) Longitudinal (data collected over time) The Population and Sample Specify the characteristics of the population (size, sampling frame) Specify the sampling procedures Single stage or multi-stage Random or convenience Use a sample size formula to determine the needed sample size
5 A Survey Method Plan Instrumentation Provide detailed information about the survey instrument How developed, Pilot testing Sample items, Types of scores Describe the validity and reliability scores of past and/or current uses of the instrument Validity: whether one can draw meaning and useful inferences from scores on the instruments Reliability: whether scores resulting from past use are internally consistent, have high test-retest correlations, and result from consistent scoring Describe steps for administering survey and ensuring a high response rate
6 A Survey Method Plan Variables in the Study Relate the variables to research questions and items on the instrument Data Analysis and Interpretation Present the steps for analyzing the data Step 1. Report response rate Step 2. Determine response bias: the effect of nonresponses on survey estimates Step 3. Conduct descriptive analyses Step 4. Check instrument's scales Step 5. Conduct inferential statistical analyses (see Table 8.3) Step 6. Present and interpret results
7 Table 8.3 Criteria for Choosing Select Statistical Tests Nature of Question # of Independent Variables # of Dependent Variables # of Control Variables Type of Score Ind. / Dep. Variables Distribution of Scores Statistical Test Group comparison Categorical / Continuous Normal t-test Group comparison 1 or more 1 0 Categorical / Continuous Normal Analysis of variance Group comparison 1 or more 1 1 Categorical / Continuous Normal Analysis of covariance Group comparison Categorical / Continuous Non-normal Mann-Whitney U test Association between groups Categorical / Categorical Non-normal Chi-square Relate variables Continuous / Continuous Relate variables 2 or more 1 0 Continuous / Continuous Relate variables 1 1 or more 0 Categorical / Categorical Normal Normal Non-normal Pearson product moment correlation Multiple regression Spearman rankorder correlation
8 Defining Experiments Experimental Design To test the impact of a treatment on an outcome, controlling for other factors that might influence that outcome Components of an Experimental Method Plan Participants Variables Instrumentation and Materials Experimental Procedures Threats to Validity
9 An Experimental Method Plan Participants Describe the selection of participants Random or convenience Describe the assignment of participants to groups Random or not; Consider matching participants Describe the procedures for determining the number of participants per group Variables Clarify the groups Identify the independent variable(s), including the treatment variable Identify the dependent variable(s), the outcomes
10 An Experimental Method Plan Instrumentation and Materials Discuss instruments development, items, and scales reliability and validity reports of past uses Thoroughly discuss materials used for the treatment Experimental Procedures Identify the type of experiment Pre-experimental, true experiment, quasi-experiment, and singlesubject designs Identify the type of comparisons: within-group or between-subject Provide a visual model X = treatment O = observation
11 An Experimental Method Plan Consider Threats to Validity Threats to internal validity: procedures, treatments, or experiences of the participants that threaten the researcher's ability to draw conclusions about cause and effect Threats to external validity: characteristics of the sample, setting, or timing that threaten the researcher's ability to generalize the conclusions to a population Threats to statistical conclusion validity: inadequate statistical power or violation of statistical assumptions that threaten the researcher's ability to draw statistical inferences Threats to construct validity: inadequate definitions and measures of variables that threaten the researcher's ability to measure relevant constructs
12 Threats to Validity (Tables 8.5 & 8.6) Threats to Internal Validity History Maturation Regression Selection Mortality Diffusion of treatment Compensatory/resentful demoralization Compensatory rivalry Testing Instrumentation Threats to External Validity Interaction of selection and treatment Interaction of setting and treatment Interaction of history and treatment
13 An Experimental Method Plan The Procedure Describe in detail the procedure for conducting the experiment Procedures for pre-test post-test control group design Measure dependent variable as a pre-test Assign participants to matched pairs based on scores Randomly assign one member of each pair to the control and experimental group Expose experimental group to the treatment Measure dependent variable as a post-test from both groups Compare groups statistically
14 An Experimental Method Plan Data Analysis Report descriptive statistics (e.g., means, standard deviations, ranges) Conduct inferential statistical tests (e.g., t test, ANOVA, ANCOVA, or MANOVA) Use line graphs for single subject designs Report confidence intervals and effect sizes in addition to statistical tests Interpreting Results Discuss results, limitations, and implications
