1. Discuss the usefulness of pretesting, pilot testing, or field-testing a survey.
2. Analyze Figure 7-1: A schematic view of the conceptual context for internal validity (Trochim and Donnelly, p 158). Consider your research topic of interest and create a schematic view using this figure as a template.
3. Discuss at least one example of integration in mixed methods research. Use the appropriate term (merging, explaining, building, embedding) and give an example.
4. What is the difference between a concept and a construct? Define and give a specific example of each.
5. When would a true experiment or quasi-experiment be more appropriate? Provide an example for each.
6. Provide an example of a concept that can be measured either as a categorical variable or as a continuous variable. How many categories does the variable have, and what are they?
