Part 1
Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length.
Describe a dilemma you are currently facing, and the variables involved. Would this dilemma be best resolved by using a correlational analytical approach or a causal-comparative analytical approach?
Part 2
Locate a primary research article in an academic journal from the CSU Online Library where the researcher(s) used a quantitative research strategy, a survey instrument, and inferential statistics. After reading the article, explain the following elements:
- purpose of the study,
- population of interest,
- research questions,
- constructs and variables being tested,
- hypotheses,
- research design,
- analytical approach,
- data analysis procedures used,
- sampling frame,
- sampling design (i.e., sampling type),
- data collection method,
- statistically significant inferences that are generalizable to the population of interest.
Your assignment should consist of a minimum of two pages in length, not counting the required references page. Please thoroughly address all required elements listed above. Responses should be written in a narrative format rather than being formatted as short bullet points.
