Answer 2

1. According to the definition given in your textbook, which of the following does NOT represent a loss of research integrity? D. Thinking strategically.

Thinking strategically is not a direct representation of a loss of research integrity. It is essential for researchers to plan and strategize their studies to ensure their validity and reliability. However, the other options (A, B, and C) all involve unethical practices that compromise research integrity. Withholding information, falsifying data, and altering research results are all examples of actions that violate research ethics and integrity.

2. Which of the following is NOT true? B. Focus groups constitute representative samples.

This statement is NOT true. Focus groups do not constitute representative samples. Instead, they are qualitative research methods used to gather in-depth insights and opinions from a small group of participants who share common characteristics or experiences. The purpose of focus groups is not to create representative samples but to generate rich and detailed information about a particular topic or issue. Representative samples are typically used in quantitative research to draw conclusions about a larger population.

3. __________ is the identification of code values that are associated with the possible responses for each question on the questionnaire. B. Data coding.

Data coding is the process of assigning code values to the different responses or categories in a questionnaire. It involves transforming qualitative data into a format that can be easily analyzed and interpreted by researchers. Data coding helps to organize and categorize the data, making it more manageable for further analysis. The other options (A, C, and D) do not accurately describe this process.
