Develop a hypothetical research scenario that would necessitate the use of an Explanatory Design. The research will be considered non-experimental.
Variable Observation
Predictor O1
Criterion O1
1. Identify the research scenario including the relevant predictor variable and criterion variable.
2. Develop the appropriate primary research question to be associated with this design.
3. Describe why the observational approach and explanatory design is the most appropriate methodology to be utilized considering the research scenario.
4. What type of sampling procedure and sampling technique will be used to access the appropriate sample?
5. Discuss how the only form of control (statistical procedures) will be utilized in this scenario.
6. Pick several two threats each from external, construct, and statistical conclusion validity and discuss how this will be accounted for.
7. Enter the relevant variables in the chart below.
8. Briefly discuss any limitations associated with this research scenario and the specific design.
