Is content analysis a qualitative research method?
Content analysis can use either a quantitative or qualitative approach - it can depend both on what you're looking at, and on how you're analysing it. So if you're looking at leading questions in court transcripts it sounds like you're drawing on qualitative data (text) and you'll be using some sort of thematic categorisation (qualitative) in doing your content analysis. If you're looking at frequencies of leading questions (according to one or more definitions of "leading question") that would be a more quantitative approach with qualitative data. There are many debates about the boundaries of qualitative and quantitative approaches as paradigms....
What's the difference between snowball sampling and theoretical sampling in qualitative research?
Snowball research is not qualitative
Qualitative you target a given type of person "Qualitative"
The person taking the information looks for a given type of target.
Snowball involves a continuous increase either of numbers or of types of targets or both.

In Qualitative research whats the difference between "methodology" used and the "method" of data collection?
For example
Field research is made of of field observation and field interviews.
So which is the 'methodology' and which is the 'method of data collection' or have I not stated it.
Also, is it possible for a researcher to do both in one research project?...eg. both field observation and interview.
In Qualitative research whats the difference between "methodology" used and the "method" of data collection?
Methodology means what KIND of research is being conducted. For instance, is it a qualitative, quantitative, or a multi-method study? Or, are you manipulating any variables or just observing some phenomena? The method of data collection would be HOW are you getting your data? Are you doing interviews, giving questionnaires/surveys, etc. etc. So in your example, the METHODOLOGY of research would probably be an observational and qualitative type study, and since nothing is being manipulated, it is not an experimental study. The METHOD of data collection would be field notes, and interviews. And yes, you can definitely do both together... I hope this helps!
Reply:methodology is the way you collect data. actually, they're the same. field research actually does both, you interview then observe at the same time.

Where can i find trainings related to qualitative health research?
I want to go for a training course related to qualiatative research in public health. It can be for data analysis, methodologies, and reporting.
Where can i find trainings related to qualitative health research?
Well, if you want to study in a degree program, I'd recommend you apply to programs in epidemiology. most schools of public health or medical colleges offer such programs.
If you want a certificate training, you should learn SAS; it's a very marketable skill. http://www.sas.com Class available onsite and online. SAS is statstics software. It's used for epidemiology, clinical trials, psychology research and business/economics.

What is the role of the hypothesis in quantitative and qualitative research?
thanks for you help!
What is the role of the hypothesis in quantitative and qualitative research?
The hypothesis is a theoretical outcome you hope to prove (or disprove) based on the results obtained from the research.
Additional Note:
This is all about sampling. The hypothesis you have is considered to be true until proven incorrect with a sufficient amount of data.

quanitive is real, qualitive is expensive, if your offering quality is one thing but to demand and extract quality by oppression is another

Reply:I'm not going to write a test question answer for you, but basically:
Quantitative analysis deals with things you can count:
100 Whites were surveyed
15 Blacks
18 Latinos
Qualitative analysis deals with things that are not easily counted, but can still be observed and reported on.
For example, Let's say you do a survey where you discovered white people were afraid of ants and Latinos weren't afraid of snails but hated grasshoppers. You might need to talk to some people and figure out if/why things are the way your survey said they are. These observations would be wrapped up in your report, and would be qualitative.
Reply:No idea.
But the difference between R and are is that one is a letter and one is a word.

What are some of the limitations for a QUALITATIVE research?
The research is about how stress affect University student's diet.
What are some of the limitations for a QUALITATIVE research?
You can't control extraneous variables so you never know how external factors are influencing peoples answers e.g. wanting to appear socially desirable. The presence of an interviewer may influence how the participant responds. It also takes a great deal of skill to manage an interview etc effectively and it is also time consuming and difficult to interpret data. The data can be difficult to analyse objectively and their is no data to quantify. It is also difficult to replicate.
Reply:Well, just as an example....
Some people who eat what they consider a "good diet" eat deep fried foods every day - and on average, eat only two servings of vegetables per day - french fries and ketchup.
Then there are others who eat 10 servings of fruits and veggies, 6 servings of whole grains, never smoke, drink cofee or booze, etc.

What is a unit of analysis in qualitative research?
I get confused by Units of analysis and units of observations. I'm doing a ethnographic case study of after-school programs that include some form of the arts or arts education. I want to learn what are the key charecteristics such programs need to have in order to be collaborativly supportive of arts education standards and benchmarks of the school (district). I THINK my the after-school programs themselves are the units of observation. The units of analysis would be what the various actors in these partnerships have to say (i.e - their documents or social artifacts) about arts education standards and collaborating with schools.
What is a unit of analysis in qualitative research?
I would say that your unit depends on how your study is designed. My background is not in education, but in statistics. I could not find a definition of this specific term on the net. So I am deconstructing it.
Your unit is what you are counting by. One item is a unit. So what are you using for your measurement. Are you looking at classrooms, schools, school districts, any of these could be your unit.
So look at your design and ask, what EXACTLY am I observing, what EXACTLY am I analyzing?
You say that you are studying documents or artifacts, so from what you wrote, I would say that your unit would be the number of artifacts you study, since you can't include programs in your study which do not involve artifacts.
But if the benchmarks are student test scores, I would say your unit of observation is the number of students.
The best bet is to take a study of similar design, not necessarily studying the same subject, but a study designed in the same basic manner. Make sure that the study is one that is recognized as being well-designed.
Use that study and report as a blueprint for your own report, just like you might do for a contract, or a job application. I am not telling you to copy anything, because the material will be what you found in your own research.
Ask yourself what that study uses as a unit of observation, and unit of analysis. If you cannot find a comparable element in your own study, then you may have a poorly designed study.
Some researchers confuse their subject matter with the design of the study. They also sometimes KNOW what they want to look for, and confuse this HOW they will look for it. The two are related but not the same.
One of the main purposes of research is to try to minimize the observer's bias. So with a properly designed study, you should be able to hand your study to the cashier in the cafeteria, and say, Here, do this study, and they should come back with the same results.

Where can I find an example of a Qualitative or Quantitative Research paper?
First off, I am not wanting to copy anyone's research paper. I have to find a research paper that is an example or either qualitative or quantitative research and then explain what makes it that particular kind of research. Does anyone know where I can go on the Internet to find such a report?
Where can I find an example of a Qualitative or Quantitative Research paper?
It is not always easy to obtain free articles from peer reviewed journals unless you are affiliated with a university. Moreover, especially in psychology, most research is quantitative. Google Scholar sometimes has PDF files of recent articles. Use a key word like "job satisfaction" or "self efficacy". Type in "focus groups" or "interviews", and something might pop up for qualitative. Good luck!

b. how does a teacher in an urban classroom control the behavior of
students?
c. is there a relationship between school socioeconomic status and
attendance?
Which of the following is a qualitative research problem :?
Quantitative research assigns numerical values to variables that are intended to reflect different degrees of that dimension (e.g., 120 pounds is more than 100 pounds; How much do you like eggs: 1) not at all, 2) they're ok, 3) love them.
Qualitative research focuses on non-numerical data, such as verbal reports or descriptions.
B is the answer. You must describe the various method of control and types of behaviors.

Explain the difference between quantitative and qualitative research design?
Basically quantitative is an objective form of analysis and research. This usually relies on mathematical formulas and statistics. You could think of quantitative as the quantity of research, and of research which is not about feelings or thought. Qualitative research, on the other hand, is far more subjective. It often focuses on feelings, or on individual cases, like case studies. It is often not quite as scientific.
That is the difference within a nut shell....

Qualitative data is basically descriptions of whatever you are observing, whereas quantitative data is numbers.
Quantitative data can be analyzed, put into graphs, and used as sources of information. Qualitative data is not as effective because of the fact that it is slightly subjective.

Is this a good qualitative research question?

is it a good qualitative research question?
Is this a good qualitative research question?
I think it's a good start...
Try to be more specific---what exactly do you want to find out about? Eating habits? Self-esteem? Exercise habits? etc..
Then just incorporate that into your question.
Reply:As a start, but where do you want to go with the research? Body image is a big subject in the psychology world.
ie: Does past experiences affect the future of a young male, and how? That is just one question where it could lead.
Reply:if i may paraphrase "and the choices he make in recreation"
Reply:The correct verb for your question would be "affect" not "effect" which as a verb means "to bring about."
Reply:Qualitative research is a research for understanding and the reasons of human behavior. Simply put, Qualitative research investigates the Why's and How's of human behavior. Your research question is a qualitative meaning that you will want to know if body image DOES actually effect a young male teenager in any way... Why it effects him and How !! It's a simpler form of research cause your sample size will be smaller, concentrated and more specific (only male teenagers). You will find a difference of course but it is in the WHY %26amp; HOW that appearance will effect the behavior (privatly, publicly, socially, etc), thoughts, feelings, etc.
Reply:I think that it's too important of a body image . because a man very like the females body

What does credibility mean in qualitative research?
The criteria for evaluating qualitative research is by reference to
1) credibility
2) transferability
3) dependability
4) confirmability
What on earth do these mean? how do you decide whether research is credible?
What does credibility mean in qualitative research?
Qualitative research describes the type of answers you would analyze from a survey, which is what I'm in the middle of completing for my Master's Degree.
Here is an example of one of my questions:
Are you challenged by your AP course?
Extremely challenged
Somewhat challenged
Not challenged at all
I surveyed 41 AP students, and have 41 answers. Some students also write in personal comments to describe why they don't feel challenged. This is qualitative research. In order to turn my qualitative research into quantitative, I'd make it into number format.
Qualitative example: One female senior states she is unchallenged because, "My instructor does not follow the curriculum for AP and is teaching us material we learned 2 years ago."
Quantitative example: 14% of the students feel unchallanged by their AP course.
Credibility refers to the questions asked, the population you are researching, the researcher's bias, validity of the research, etc.
Dependability refers to the outcomes, results, report of findings.
Not sure about the others though.
Good luck!
