KRS 673 - Lesson 1.3

"TRUE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? A research hypothesis is directly testable.

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? "A researcher wishes to determine the effects of an outdoor adventure summer camp on the self-concept of inner-city boys. Boys are randomly assigned to the summer camp and to a control situation. The experimental treatment is for three months. A secondary purpose is to see if age (ages 6, 9, and 12) affects the relationship of the camp effects and self-concept." The researcher states that he is aware that responses to questions on a self-concept scale may not always be what the person really believes. This is an example of a delimitation.

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? 2. Recognizing that grade point average may not completely reflect success in school is an example of a basic assumption.

"TRUE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? "A study comparing the achievement of sixth-grade students in Moscow, Idaho, instructed in health education through closed-circuit television and regular classroom procedure for a period of 16 weeks." is a too long thesis title.

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? "A researcher wishes to determine the effects of an outdoor adventure summer camp on the self-concept of inner-city boys. Boys are randomly assigned to the summer camp and to a control situation. The experimental treatment is for three months. A secondary purpose is to see if age (ages 6, 9, and 12) affects the relationship of the camp effects and self-concept." The number of participants, the selection of the self-concept inventory, and the length of the study are all examples of delimitations.

"TRUE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? "A researcher wishes to determine the effects of an outdoor adventure summer camp on the self-concept of inner-city boys. Boys are randomly assigned to the summer camp and to a control situation. The experimental treatment is for three months. A secondary purpose is to see if age (ages 6, 9, and 12) affects the relationship of the camp effects and self-concept." The researcher is proceeding on the belief that self-concept can be changed in a summer (three months). This is an example of a basic assumption.

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? "A researcher wishes to determine the effects of an outdoor adventure summer camp on the self-concept of inner-city boys. Boys are randomly assigned to the summer camp and to a control situation. The experimental treatment is for three months. A secondary purpose is to see if age (ages 6, 9, and 12) affects the relationship of the camp effects and self-concept." The researcher is proceeding on the belief that self-concept can be changed in a summer (three months). This is an example of a limitation.

"TRUE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? "A researcher wishes to determine the effects of an outdoor adventure summer camp on the self-concept of inner-city boys. Boys are randomly assigned to the summer camp and to a control situation. The experimental treatment is for three months. A secondary purpose is to see if age (ages 6, 9, and 12) affects the relationship of the camp effects and self-concept." The researcher states that self-concept is represented by scores on the Tennessee Self Concept Scale. This is an example of an operational definition.

"TRUE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? A report of a research study submitted for a four-chapter thesis and the same study prepared for a journal differ with respect to the length of the description of the methods.

"TRUE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? A report of a research study submitted for a four-chapter thesis and the same study prepared for a journal differ with respect to the length of the introduction and review of literature.

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? A research hypothesis predicts the technique used to analyze the data.

"TRUE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? An operational definition of human intelligence is those characteristics that are measured by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children.

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? An operational definition of human intelligence is the ability to employ abstract reasoning in the solving of problems.

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? An operational definition of human intelligence is the ability to use language and symbols.

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? An operational definition of human intelligence is those characteristics that differentiate between humans and the higher animals.

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? At the end of a well-written introduction, the reader should be able to predict the organization of the literature review..

"TRUE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? At the end of a well-written introduction, the reader should be able to predict the statement of the problem (purpose of study).

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? Defining volleyball skill as a score on the AAHPERD Volleyball Test is a constituted definition.

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? Defining volleyball skill as a score on the AAHPERD Volleyball Test is a dictionary definition.

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? Defining volleyball skill as a score on the AAHPERD Volleyball Test is an experimental definition.

"TRUE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? Recognizing that grade point average may not completely reflect success in school is an example of a limitation.

"FALSE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? Recognizing that grade point average may not completely reflect success in school is an example of a null hypothesis.

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? The introduction to a research report should state the problem to be investigated in one or two concise sentences.

"TRUE"

"TRUE" or "FALSE"? The premise that the Minnesota Attitude Inventory is a valid measure of attitude toward school is an example of a basic assumption.
