Chrastina, Jan – NORDSCI, 2018
Primarily focused on answering questions why and how, this qualitative research relates to human being and behavior and could bring understanding of socially constructed phenomena, including people's needs, experiences, behavior, motives, desires and expectations. Meta-synthesis is an important method that provides valuable insights into the…

Direct linkSmith, Michelle Howell; Arthur, Ann; Hawley, Leslie R.; Koziol, Natalie Anne – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Mixed methods instrument development studies have not experienced the complexity of discussion and elaboration that other mixed methods studies have received (Onwuegbuzie, Bustamante & Nelson, 2010). This study reviews 102 articles describing the development of 76 instruments using a mixed methods approach. The results provide insight into the…

Behavioral and social sciences randomized controlled trials (BSSTs) have a significant role in life sciences. Choosing an appropriate control or comparator group for BSSTs is critical, to provide true intervention effects. The objective of this study was to determine the types of control groups used in BSSTs, and the rationale provided to justify…

Stuart, Elizabeth A.; Ackerman, Benjamin; Westreich, Daniel – Research on Social Work Practice, 2018
Randomized trials play an important role in estimating the effect of a policy or social work program in a given population. While most trial designs benefit from strong internal validity, they often lack external validity, or generalizability, to the target population of interest. In other words, one can obtain an unbiased estimate of the study…

Chan, Wendy – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Policymakers are increasingly interested in the extent to which experimental results generalize from a sample to a population of inference. When the sample is not randomly selected, propensity score methods are used to reweight the sample. Subclassification by propensity score is commonly used in which the population is partitioned into strata…

Finch, William Holmes; Hernandez Finch, Maria E. – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
High dimensional multivariate data, where the number of variables approaches or exceeds the sample size, is an increasingly common occurrence for social scientists. Several tools exist for dealing with such data in the context of univariate regression, including regularization methods such as Lasso, Elastic net, Ridge Regression, as well as the…

Rubin, Allen – Research on Social Work Practice, 2015
This keynote address discusses previous and ongoing efforts to reduce the persistent gap between research and practice in social work and offers recommendations for further bridging that gap. Key among those recommendations is the need to conduct descriptive outcome studies of efforts to adapt research-supported interventions in everyday practice…

Borovac, Tijana – Bulgarian Comparative Education Society, 2015
The perspective of "children as social actors" has created a field with new ethical dilemmas and responsibilities for researchers within the social study of childhood. According to experiences of conducting ethnographic video studies in mixed age kindergarten groups, this paper reflects on the processes of negotiating initial and ongoing…

Ozturk, Elif – Online Submission, 2012
The present paper aims to review two motivations to conduct "what if" analyses using Excel and "R" to understand the statistical significance tests through the sample size context. "What if" analyses can be used to teach students what statistical significance tests really do and in applied research either prospectively to estimate what sample size…

Redcross, Natalie Ryder; Grimes, Tresmaine – Online Submission, 2012
Teenage magazine content, after decades, continues to complicate decision making in the communication of the young, impressionable girls who read them. Previous research has indicated that teenagers can be negatively influenced by the media, including teen magazines (e.g., Redcross, 2003; Milkie, 2002; Durham, 2008; Lamb & Brown, 2006). These…

Burke, Kenneth M. – Online Submission, 2009
This article provides for a concise history of nonlinearity from the context of the changing assumptions in science throughout the turn of the twentieth century. Concerned with the development of an ethics of technology in higher education, it establishes a background for ongoing research on quantitative methods in the social sciences. The history…

McMillan, Heather S.; Morris, Michael Lane; Atchley, E. Kate – Online Submission, 2008
The purpose of this paper is to identify construct definitions and measurement tools for the work/life interface concepts: balance, conflict and facilitation. An understanding of these concepts is critical to HRD (human resource development) professionals because interventions designed to counter work/life interface issues can not be created, and…
