Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D

Feedback
Correct Correlational design is associated with efficient and effective data collection for a large amount of data.
Correlational design increases flexibility when investigating complex relationships among variables.
Correlational design is associated with the advantage of increased potential for real-world (clinical) application.
Incorrect Variables are not manipulated in nonexperimental research.
Because preexisting groups are used in correlational design, generalizability is decreased.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D

Feedback
Correct A methodologic study includes formulation of the tool's items.
A methodologic study includes a definition of how the construct/concept was measured.
A methodologic study is designed to test a new instrument's or tool's validity and reliability.
Incorrect Experimental treatments are not used in methodologic design.
Methodologic studies do not involve experimental treatments.
