Quantitative Research Design

Review the introduction and summarize the factors that shape the relationship between race and health.

What sorts of things should researchers who are interested in studying this look for?

Based on the factors you described for task 1, create a list of at least ten different variables/measures researchers could use to explore this relationship.

Identify and describe at least six different variables the author used in the study.

Describe in the “Data and Methods” section that starts on page 414 (PDF page 20). When you describe them, focus on explaining how they were measured.
Using the GSS Data Explorer, find six different variables from the 2018 GSS that could be used in a study exploring the relationship between race and health. Use the variables/measures from tasks 2 and 3 as your starting point for searching.

Discuss how the measurement increases the reliability and validity of the study.Explain your procedure based on research design you chose.

Research proposal

Create a research proposal that provides a detailed plan for your research study that states your hypothesis, reports on sampling methods, and identifies how the data will be analyzed to answer the research question.

1. Operationally define the variables that you are using in your study.

2. State your hypothesis for your study.

3. Report on the method you will use to sample your participants.

You may want to look at the GSS website to see how participants were found.

Use your notes from the media piece to guide your sampling method selection.

5. Explain the method you will use to collect and analyze your data.

6. Choose the measurement that matches your study.

Review the template for suggested language.

7. Discuss how the measurement increases the reliability and validity of the study.

8. Explain your procedure based on research design you chose.
