Students who experience tent anxiety before an English exam will get lower scores than students who do not experience test anxiety.
Hypothesis
It is used by social scientists, including communication researchers, to observe phenomena or occurrences affecting individuals. Social scientists are concerned with the study of people.
Quantitative Research
It is used when you are working with interview transcripts, survey responses, field notes, or recordings from natural settings.
Qualitative Research
If you want to explore the effect of salt on plant growth, a set of plants would not be exposed to salt.
Control group
Guidelines for authorship, copyright and patenting policies, data sharing policies, and confidentiality rules in peer review, are designed to protect intellectual property interests while encouraging collaboration.
Ethics
It is designed to assess the validity, quality, and often the originality of articles for publication. Its ultimate purpose is to maintain the integrity of science by filtering out invalid or poor-quality articles.
Peer review
A test score is affected by several factors such as how much you studied, how much sleep you got the night before you took the test, or even how hungry you were when you took it.
Dependent variable
There is no difference in the salary of factory workers based on gender.
Null hypothesis
Through your hypothesis test, you obtain a p-value of 0.0029. Since this p-value is lower than your significance level of 0.05, you consider your results statistically significant and reject the null hypothesis.
Statistical significance
A study sample is divided into one group that will receive the intervention being studied and another group that will not receive the intervention.
Randomization
Male factory workers have a higher salary than female factory workers.
Alternative hypothesis
Someone's age is not affected by other factors such as what they eat, how much they go to school, or how much television they watch.
Independent variable
It is the probability that the result reported happened by chance.
Significance level
If you want to explore the effect of salt on plant growth, a set of plants receives the salt treatment.
Experimental group
Coffee drinkers may smoke more cigarettes than non-coffee drinkers.
Confounding variable
In a brand assessment study, researchers can use comparison testing to verify the results of an initial study.
Validity
This term in research encompasses the entire student body at a school. It would contain all the students who study in that school at the time of data collection. Depending on the problem statement, data from each of these students is collected.
Population
You measure the temperature of a liquid sample several times under identical conditions. The thermometer displays the same temperature every time.
Reliability
These are any characteristics that can take on different values, such as height, age, temperature, or test scores.
Variables
Students who eat breakfast will perform better on a math exam than students who do not eat breakfast.
