Extra Credit

Kristina DeNeve

The following is not a required DQ question.  However, should you choose to respond to it, you will be awarded as much as 6 extra credit points.  (Note that these points will be awarded on your earliest assignment that has 6 or more points still possible to earn.  A note will be made in the comments section of this area when/where points are are added.)

Read/Review Chapters 13, 14 and 15 prior to answering this question:

The final chapters of our Babbie text introduce us to various ways we can analyze the data we collect from qualitative and quantitative research methods.  Briefly describe 1) the major ways that qualitative data is analyzed; 2) the major ways that quantitative data is analyzed; and 3) what you understand to be the need/meaning of conducting multivariate analysis.  Based on your experience with the PsychInfo database throughout this course (and other courses), what kind of data analysis do you find most compelling (qualitative or quantitative)?  Include at least 1 research study you utilized earlier in this course as an exemplar of your reasoning of the kind of analysis you find most compelling.
