Ethics
• Ethics are norms or standards of behavior that guide moral choices about our behavior and our relationships with others
• The goal of ethics in research is to ensure that no one is harmed or suffers adverse consequences from research activities
Ethical Treatment of Participants• Explain study benefits
– Deception
• Explain participants rights and protections
• Obtain informed consent

Research Design
• Many definitions of research design:– Constitutes the blueprint for collection,
measurement, and analysis of data– Aids the researcher in the allocation of limited
resources by posing crucial choices in methodology
– The plan and structure of investigation so conceived as to obtain answers to research questions
– Express both the structure of the research problem and the plan of investigation used to obtain empirical evidence on those relationships
Research Design (Cont’d)
• The essentials of research design:– An activity- and time-based plan– A plan always based in the research
question– A guide for selecting sources and type
of information– A framework for specifying the
relationships among the study’s variables
– A procedural outline for every research activity

DETAILS OF STUDY
DATA ANALYSIS
MEASUREMENT
Purpose of the study
• Exploratory:– Undertaken when not much is
known about the situation at hand, or no information is available on how similar problems or research issues have been solved in the past• A search of the literature• Interviewing ‘experts’ in the subject• Conducting focus group interviews
Purpose of the study (Cont’d)• Descriptive:
– Undertaken in order to ascertain and be able to describe the characteristics of the variable of interest in a situation• Finding out who, what, where, when, or
how much
Purpose of the study (Cont’d)• Explanatory or Hypotheses
testing:– Undertaken to explain the variance
in the independent variable• Concerned with learning why
Type of Investigation
• Causal– The study in which the researcher
wants to delineate the cause of one or more variables
• Correlation– When the researcher is interested in
delineating the important variables associated with the problems
Extent of Researcher Interference• Minimal• Moderate• Excessive
Study Setting
• Contrived– Artificial settings
• Noncontrived– Natural environment
Unit of analysis
• Refers to the level of aggregation if the data collected during the subsequent data analysis stage– Individual, dyads, groups, etc
Time Horizon
• Cross sectional– Data are gathered just once
• Longitudinal– Data are gathered at more than one
point in time
