Sources of Data
• Who are your subjects?
• Why were they selected?
• How many will be surveyed?
• How will your subjects be selected?
• Briefly describe the survey instrument and data collection process

Sampling Methods
• Probability Sampling– Simple Random Sample– Stratified Random Sampling– Cluster Sampling
• Non-probability Sample– Quota Sample– Chunk Sample– Convenience Sample

Measurements
• How will you collect the data?
• How was the survey developed?
• Validity and reliability issues?

Descriptive Statistics
• Format of the variables– 1 survey item = 1 variable
• Formats– Ratio– Interval– Ordinal– Nominal

Statistics and Data Formats
• Descriptive stats (and inferential) are tied to the data format

Example
• Survey Item– What is your gender?
• Categorical variable
• Descriptive stats available– Frequencies– Percentages
• The researcher will be collecting data on the gender of the respondents. Frequencies and percentages will be used to describe the respondents’ gender.

Results Chapter
• Sources of Data– Describe how the sampling and data
collection process occurred– What was your response rate? (Critical
information in a study)– Is the response rate acceptable?

Testing Your Research Hypotheses
• To test your hypotheses looking at the relationship between two variables, you will be using correlation procedures.– The correlation procedures you use will be
based upon the formats of your dependent and independent variables.
– This will be covered in upcoming classes.
