Readings
Read the introduction to Unit 2, "Introduction to the Research Process." This reading focuses on examples of research problems and questions that will provide models to help you learn how to articulate these.
Use your Leedy and Ormrod text to complete the following:
• Read Chapter 1, "The Nature and Tools of Research," pages 1–7, stopping at the heading "Tools of Research." This reading will provide background information on what research is and what it is not.
• Read Chapter 2, "The Problem: The Heart of the Research Process," pages 27–48. This chapter provides information on research problems and sub-problems, and research questions and sub-questions. It also discusses how to use scientific research literature in order to identify a research problem.
Use the Internet to complete the following:
• Read the following pages on Trochim’s Research Methods Knowledge Base Web site. These Web pages provide material on sampling for quantitative methodologies.
o Sampling.
o Sampling Terminology.
o Probability Sampling.
o Nonprobability Sampling.
• Read Marshall’s 1996 article, "Sampling for Qualitative Research," in Family Practice, volume 13, issue 6, pages 522–525. This article provides an explanation of qualitative sampling techniques and the rationale behind them. Examples are provided. Although written from the health care perspective, the coverage of methodology and sampling readily applies to qualitative research in psychology.
