Bias

Bias

Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...

Archival Research

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Case Studies

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Cross-Sectional Research

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus: Comparing...

Area of Science:

Nursing Research
Methodology

Background:

Methodological triangulation is crucial for enhancing the rigor and validity of nursing research.
Existing literature suggests principles for reporting triangulation, yet many studies fall short in adherence.
A gap exists in clearly demonstrating the application and benefits of triangulation in nursing studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the application of methodological triangulation in two nursing research studies.
To illustrate how rigor was maintained when using triangulation.
To highlight the contributions of triangulation to nursing research.

Main Methods:

The study employed methodological triangulation, a technique involving the use of multiple methods to study the same phenomenon.
Two distinct nursing research studies were analyzed: one 'within method' and one 'across method'.
Principles for reporting triangulation were identified from literature and used as a framework for analysis.

Main Results:

Few reviewed studies fully adhered to established principles for reporting triangulation.
The 'within method' and 'across method' examples illustrated practical applications of triangulation.
Specific strategies for maintaining rigor during triangulation were detailed.

Conclusions:

Methodological triangulation, when reported effectively, significantly enhances the quality of nursing research.
Adherence to reporting principles is essential for maximizing the benefits of triangulation.
This paper provides a model for applying and reporting triangulation in future nursing research endeavors.
