Direction: Read the following statements. Answer TRUE if the statement describes a research. FALSE if you think it is not. Write your answers on the blank.1. The rationale of the study gives the reasons why the study should be conducted2. The researcher's own personal interests and observations may be a valuablesource of questions,3. Theories of other researchers are not a particularly good source of researchquestions.4. Successful research often raises new questions, even while it answers oldquestions5. You should never consider matching your interest to a funder interest.6. A problem statement identifies the nature of the problem being addressed,and its context and significance.7. The "specific aims" of a study are the same thing as the "objectives of a study8. Research question come from any of several sources namely, personalinterest and experiences.9. Scope and Delimitation or research indicates the boundaries, exceptions,reservation and qualification in your study10. Objectives of the research indicate what will the research will do, for instance,discover, explain or sce,​

TRUE OR FALSE1.The quality of the information gathered is directly proportional to the quality of the instrumentdesigned to collect the data.(T)2.Occupational jargon, cultural background, educational level, and regional differences have noimpact on the effectiveness of a questionnaire.(F)3.Structured-undisguised questions are the most commonly used in research today.(T)4.The “don’t know” or “no opinion” response should always be available to respondents.(T)5.The quality of the information gathered is indirectly proportional to the quality of the instrumentdesigned to collect the data.(F)6.The starting point in any research project is to formulate a question. (T)7.The researcher's own personal interests and observations may be a valuable source of questions.(T)8.Theories of other researchers are not a particularly good source of research questions.(T)9.Successful research often raises new questions, even while it answers old questions.(T)10.Research reports can be located quickly by use of an abstract system such as PsycINFO.(T)11.Theories and research can raise new questions in two ways: heuristically, and systematically.(T)12.Research designed to find solutions to practical problems is referred to as basic research.(F)13.Basic research findings often provide the basis for later applied research.(T)14.A variable is defined as any set of events that may have different values.(T)15.An initially vague or general idea is first refined into a research hypothesis and then further refinedinto a statement of the problem.(F)16.For low-constraint research, it is especially critical to refine the statement of the problem as muchas possible.(F)17.Behavioral variables refer to any stimulus in the environment that might affect our behavior.(F)18.Organismic variables are always directly observable characteristics of the participant, such as heightor weight.(F)19.Stimulus variables may be either manipulated by the experimenter or an already existing part of theenvironment in which the research is being conducted.(T)20.Dependent variables are most likely to be behavioral variables.(T)21.A dependent variable is hypothesized to change as a result of the influence of an independentvariable.(T)22.Organismic variables are the largest category of manipulated independent variables.(F)23.At the experimental level of constraint, nonmanipulated independent variables are used.(F)24.It is possible for a variable to be an organismic variable in one study, a stimulus variable in adifferent study, and a behavioral variable in yet another study.(T)25.Validity refers to how well a study, procedure, or measure does what it is supposed to do.(T)26.Validity is threatened whenever extraneous variables are controlled.(F)27.High-constraint research designs typically provide more effective control over extraneous variables.
