Standard deviation measures variance of scores within a set of data this requires what type of data?

credibility, transferability, and dependability fall under trustworthiness in a study

study is observational & longitudinal compares exposure to group over time & unexposed group what kind of study is this?

There are 5 types of variables: what type uses data based on what is seen and heard by researchers

Nonparametric Mann Whitney test is equivalent to an independent t-test

If I want to test data linked to same individual (ex. weight pre and post intervention) what test should I use?

Transferability means research findings can be generalized or transferred to other contexts; uses thick descriptions

member checks are a process where investigators check their assumptions & emerging interpretations about data with who?

measure of central tendency (mean, median, mode) organizes and summarizes the data, what type of statistics is this?

Influence reimbursement practices of OT services and makes information available to finding and decision making entities

Which nonparametric test is equivalent for an ANOVA study?

what is the first step of a data collection plan?

Alternative hypothesis means there was real effect in the data

___ is a method of data collection in which data collector is immersed in reality of informants

Computer-assisted qualitative data analysis is a form of what kind of data management?

which of these would NOT help a researcher maintain ethics & confidentiality?

continuous data falls under quantitative data an example of this would be:

more than 1 person should code independently & then compare notes to increase what?

Study says a drug to help with side effects of migraines is great but it actually doesn't do anything, example of what:

what is used to test hypothesis (make inferences) about an entire population based on findings from a single sample?

Drawing conclusions about a population based on the data from a sample is what type of statistics?

a paired t-test measures same subjects- tests differences of two variables for same subjects

What would we do if the study data showed a p value of 0.01?

Using multiple datasets, methods, theories, and or investigators to address a research question is:

which test reduces chances of obtaining false positive when multiple pairwise tests are performed on single set of data

Null hypothesis means no statistical significance between two variables in the hypothesis

a dependent-variable is something being tested/controlled in the experiment (variable being measured)

Acknowledging your role in the research helps prevent bias this is:

Likert scale would typically be considered ___ data while # of participants would be considered ___ data

qualitative research is not true research and always needs to be presented with quantitative research

once data is put in numerical order the number in the middle is

EBP requires clients values, clinical expertise, and researchers best evidence

Reliability and Validity refers to consistency and accuracy in a study

which of the following are forms of non-peer reviewed dissemination?

which study design uses participants as co-investigators

Which parametric test is nonparametric Wilcoxon equivalent too?

what test compares the means of 2 groups of measurements/2 given samples *most common used in OT practice*

which nonparametric test is equivalent to parametric paired t-test when data is nominal?

how does assigning roles and job descriptions contribute to good data management?

researcher uses chi square test which nonparametric test equivalent to this?

Diffusion of innovation framework has 5 characteristics that could either facilitate or hinder adoption of innovation

qualitative data is categorical (nominal and ordinal scales) ex. collecting data on eye color or gender

A ____ is a reflective note attached to data through which investigators organize their thoughts

which of the following is not one of the possible recommendations in the peer review process?

a type 2 error is a false negative (failed to get significant results when some effect is present)

true experimental designs require random assignment

measures truth value of qualitative research: are findings correct and accurate? uses member checks, triangulation etc

which study is best when gaining insight on values, roles, beliefs, and practices of a group of people?

what is used to predict relationship between 2 or more variables?

How ready are you to be done with this class?

confirmability ensures other researchers confirm and can repeat your experiment, audit and reflexivity

in a ___ study only the participant is unaware of the treatment they receive

an independent variable- experiment condition is controlled or changed (controlled by researcher, the "cause" factor)

caregiver perspective, patient perspective, and how individuals perceive their own experiences fall under what ?

A ___ is a covariance analysis, or tests of your confounding variables

which non-experimental design seeks to assess correlation between two variables w/o controlling extraneous variables

Sources of qualitative data include all of the following except

dependability means findings were established despite any changes within the research setting or participants during it

To enhance rigor what steps should we take?

which design would you use for a study that does interviews and asks about lived experiences?

Which of the following describes dissemination?

ANOVA is used when comparing three or more samples within a single test

Which is NOT a method of data collection?

which method of strengthening qualitative data improves credibility of data?

the mean is the data's average score from sample

parametric tests assume a normal distribution while non-parametric tests do not

defined as most often occurring value

alpha is probability of making type 1 error and beta is probability of making type 2 error

use of this requires social importance, relevant goals, feasible procedures and satisifactory outcomes
