What type of quantitative research seeks to determine relationship of one characteristics to the other characteristics?

Quantitative research- concerned with precise measurement, replicable, controlled and used to predict events. It is a formal, objective, systematic process. Numerical data are used to obtain information about the subject under study.

-uses data that are numeric

-primarily intended to test theories

-it is deductive and outcome orientated

-examples of statistical techniques used for quantitative data analysis are random sampling, regression analysis, factor analysis, correlation, cluster analysis, causal modeling and standardized tests

Related Information


Control group- the group of subjects or elements NOT exposed to the experimental treatment in a study where the sample is randomly selected

Experimental group- the group of subjects receiving the experimental treatment, i.e., the independent variable (controlled measure or cause) in an experiment.

Independent variable- the variable or measure being manipulated or controlled by the experimenter. The independent variable is assigned to participants by random assignment.

Dependent variable or dependent measure- the factor that the experimenter predicts is affected by the independent variable, i.e., the response, outcome or effect from the participants that the experimenter is measuring.

Four types of Quantitative Research

Descriptive 

1) Descriptive- provides a description and exploration of phenomena in real-life situations and characteristics. Correlational of particular individuals, situations or groups are described. 

Comparative

Comparative

2) Comparative- a systematic investigation of relationships between two or more variables used to explain the nature of relationships in the world. Correlations may be positive (e.g., if one variable increases, so does the other), or negative (correlation occurs when one variable increases and the other decreases).

Quasi-experimental

Quasi-experimental

3) Quasi-experimental- a study that resembles an experiment but random assignment had no role in determining which participants were placed on a specific level of treatment. Generally would have less validity than experiments.

Experimental (empirical)

Experimental (empirical)

4) Experimental (empirical) method- the scientific method used to test an experimental hypothesis or premise. Consists of a control group (not exposed to the experimental treatment, i.e.. is dependent) and the experimental group (is exposed to the treatment, i.e., independent)

Which type of quantitative research seeks to determine relationship of one characteristic to the others characteristics?

Correlational researchattempts to determine the extent of a relationship between two or more variables using statistical data.

What are the 4 types of quantitative research?

There are four main types of Quantitative research: Descriptive, Correlational, Causal-Comparative/Quasi-Experimental, and Experimental Research. attempts to establish cause- effect relationships among the variables. These types of design are very similar to true experiments, but with some key differences.

Which kind of quantitative research investigates the relationship between variables?

What is correlational research? A correlational research design investigates relationships between two variables (or more) without the researcher controlling or manipulating any of them. It's a non-experimental type of quantitative research.

Which type of quantitative research that guided specifically by a hypothesis?

Though questions may be posed in the other forms of research, experimental research is guided specifically by a hypothesis.
