Assignment: Quantitative Ethical Considerations

While new designs are being developed and refined, you should understand that a basic set of quantitative research designs includes true experiment, quasi-experiment, single-subject correlational, and survey.

• Describe the quantitative design would most effectively address your research question.

• Provide a 250-300 word write-up of a possible quantitative design.

• Describe the ethical considerations would you have in obtaining a sample, thinking about the need for anonymity, confidentiality, and preventing a conflict of interest.

Note: You may choose a quantitative or qualitative design for your final research proposal. A draft of your research design and data collection procedures is due next week after you have had the chance to more comprehensively explore qualitative research designs.
