One of the best technique to increase the external validity of a study is by doing an experiment in the area where the study is to be done. This can enable to assess what is needed and what has to be avoided in order to conduct a successful study .The biases can be known in prior and appropriate actions can be done.
What technique would the researcher chose to increase external validity of a study?
Which of the following actions taken by the researcher would MOST likely improve the external validity in a study? Answers A-D A Enrolling a diverse subject sample. B Randomly assigning subjects to groups. C Conducting a power analysis. D Using restrictive inclusion/exclusion criteria. Which of the following is an accurate statement about the reliability of an instrument in a research study? Answers A-D A A tool can be reliable even if it is not valid. B A tool can be...
A researcher wants to conduct a descriptive study on quality of life among liver cancer patients receiving pain management interventions provided by hospice nurses. How would using conceptual and operational definitions increase the validity of the study and what other design characteristics could be introduced to increase the validity of the study?
Question 4 The difference between internal and external validity is best described as: Internal validity tells us if the inferences drawn from the study population are true of the study population whereas external validity tells us if the inferences drawn from the study population are true of the target population. Internal validity tells us if the inferences drawn from the population being studied apply to other populations whereas external validity tells us if the inferences drawn from the population being...
Give an explanation of a threat to internal validity and a threat to external validity in quantitative research. Next, explain a strategy to mitigate each of these threats. Then, identify a potential ethical issue in quantitative research and explain how it might influence design decisions. Finally, explain what it means for a research topic to be amenable to scientific study using a quantitative approach
Question 5 Which of the following procedures is specifically meant to increase the external validity of the findings of a well-designed randomized clinical tria? Selected Answers B Using a representative sample selected randomly from the population Answers A Allow participants to select which treatment arm they prefer B. Using a representative sample selected randomly from the population Using a long run-in design C. D. Assigning participants to the different study arms or treatment leveis randomly Question 6 Which of the...
Imagine you are a researcher interested in conducting a study on physical attractiveness. How would you create a study that produces results that are both reliable and valid? If you had to prioritize either validity or reliability, which one would you prioritize and why?
where do correlational designs fall in terms of internal, external, and construct validity in a research study?
what type of validity is best enhanced by the implementation of an intention-to-treat analysis? a. external b. internal c.construct d.statistical conclusion
In order to study a cell at lower temperatures, a researcher must artificially increase its membrane fluidity. What would be a reasonable strategy for increasing plasma membrane fluidity at low temperatures? Following a meal, glucose must move from the gut lumen where there is a high glucose concentration into the intestinal cell where there is a relatively low level of glucose. This movement is calle
16)Define internal validity: a. The extent to which we can draw causal conclusions about a study such as random and systematic error, confounding, and selection bias b. Exchangeability or how comparable the study group is to otherand explains generalizability or transportability 17. Define external validity: a.
