Selected Answer: C. Undertaking a literature review Answers: A. Selecting an appropriate research tradition B. Obtaining funding for the project C. Undertaking a literature review D. Developing operational definitions Response Feedback: During the conceptual phase, researchers undertake a thorough literature review as a foundation on which to build new evidence. Funding is not usually sought until a formal plan is developed, and operational definitions are not established until all the key variables have been identified. Quantitative researchers, unlike qualitative researchers, do not select a “research tradition.” • Question 2 10 out of 10 points Which term is not used by qualitative researchers to refer to people who participate in a study? Selected Answer: D. Subjects Answers: A. Informants B. Key informants C. Study participants D. Subjects Response Feedback: In a quantitative study, the people being studied are called subjects or study participants. In a qualitative study, the individuals cooperating in the study are called informants, key informants, or study participants. Qualitative researchers avoid using the term “subject” because it implies a passive role, and in qualitative research, the people being studied are considered full, active participants in the process.
