A. Theories are helping us predict actual behavior in groups of individuals by logical

deduction.
B. The ability of a theory to explain events is limited by the reach and quality of the

C. Theories are used only to generate hypotheses.
4) Part I. Methods and their theoretical connection Theory has a value of its own, but within our course we are
interested in its connection to methods. A theoretical approach, however, has implications for the methods used in a
research strategy and the other way around. A course goal is to investigate these connections.
 Question: Experiment is a method used in the social sciences (sociology, psychology, etc.). If the researcher
is sure that experiments are the only way to get facts about social reality and to find proof of causality,
which scientific theoretical tradition does the researcher most certainly belong to? (p. 13, 50-54)

A. Phenomenology
B. Positivism
C. Symbolic interactionism
D. Ethnomethodology

5) In the previous question an experimental method (connected to positivism) is higlighted as the best way for the
researcher to obtain observable facts, measures, data, and which one values over verbal information. How would
you label this approach, which considers only observable phenomena as knowledge? (p.14, 50)

A. Naturalism
B. Empiricism
C. Phenomenology
6) In the social sciences you may find several schools of thought (presenting grand theories) presenting theories with
varying levels of abstraction. It is usually quite hard to connect these schools to a single particular methodological
approach. But nevertheless, there are connections. One of the most influential schools is functionalism. Which method
would you most probably find used within a functionalist tradition? (p. 124)

A. Text analysis
B. In-depth semi-structured interviews
C. Survey
D. Observation

7) In some theoretical traditions "the bottom up" approach is prevailing, which means that it is not the theoretical level
that defines the path of the research, but to some extent the field as it reveals itself is the determinant factor. Which
of the following theoretical schools regard the actor's interpretation of his or her actions and its motivational
backgroundas the cornerstone of the research? (p. 13-14, 50-54)

A. Naturalism
B. Symbolic interactionism

C. Survey
D. Interviews

11) Part II. Between quality and quantity Qualitative and quantitative approaches are used extensively in the
social sciences. In our course we strongly focus on the interactivity between them and the need for research
designs utilizing the strengths of them in cooperation. There are a number of methods that are associated with
one or the other approach, depending on what kind of data the researcher intend to gather to allow for a specific
type of analysis.
 Question: A quantitative approach has several characteristics which make its findings credible. One
of them is the harsh requirement of validity already at the design phase. Which of the following
questions is the closest to the validity issue? (p. 29-30, 37)

A. Is it possible to repeat the research in the same settings and achieve the same
result?
B. Does the researchers measure what they are supposed to according to their research
question?
C. Is it possible to repeat the research in a certain time period and receive the same
result?

12) There is an important and ongoing discussion of validity and reliability issues in qualitative research methods.
Although the nature of the qualitative and quantitative traditions is quite different, some researchers try to make them
meet by applying similar quality requirements. One way to "justify" qualitative methods in the research is to perform
or at least discuss the possibility of replication. How would you understand the purpose of it? (p.37)

A. To check if the researcher has investigated what he was supposed to according to the
research questions
B. To check if the researcher is using the most appropriate methods for a certain research
 question
C. To check the extent to which findings are applicable to other contexts

13) Quantitative methods are believed to lead to findings which are possible to generalize on a population, while
findings gained with qualitative methods are problematic to be used in such a fashion. However, there are
"techniques" that can be applied to check if a generalization of a case-study is possible. What are they? (p.35)

A. More than one case is studied, the case is studied by more than one researcher, and the
case may be studied as a clustered analysis of typical characteristics
B. At least four cases are compared, some form of official statistics is included, and the
cases may be chosen as untypical cases
C. Structured interviews are used, an existing typology is utilized, and a minimum of two
researchers may be involved in the analysis of the case
Correct

14) Social researchers tend to take different stand on whether to use predominantly qualitative or quantitative methods in
their research. Some of them argue, as we do, for the possibility of a combination. What would such combination
depend on? (p.126)

A. Time and money

B. The object under investigation
C. The objective of the study and the specified research questions
D. The theoretical background that the researcher is using

15) Continuing the idea of combinations in the previous question, some researchers choose to validate their findings
using an approached called triangulation. How would you define it? (p.130)

A. Using more than one method

B. Using only qualitative methods
C. Using only quantitative methods
D. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods in the research
Discuss this Question

16) Theories are tools in our endeavors of systematic understanding the world we live in. There is a specific concept used
to describe the process wherein subjective explanations are used to make claims of causal relationships. Which? (p.35,
106, 132)

A. Reliability
B. Validity
C. Inference
D. Deduction
E. Induction
Discuss this Question
17) Part III. Quantitative research methods It is associated with a number of different approaches and with a number
of techniques to collect quantitative data. Quantitative methods are often related to positivistic scientific approach,
which argues that methods used in social and natural sciences should be the same. The following questions are
related to the measuring of data.
 Question: There are two commonly and widely used quantitative methods. Which are they? (p. 11)

A. Observation and shadowing

B. Survey and experiment
C. Case study and in-depth interviews
D. Experiment and participant observation
Discuss this Question
Correct

18) Unlike "the bottom up" logic of research, as mentioned earlier, most quantitative approaches are top down and start
with theory. Below you can see a simplified illustration of a quantitative research process. (Line A is a stage and Line
B what is done in the stage). What is missing in the sequences? (p.20)
 Line A: Theory ------ ____ ---- Data collection ---- Data analysis ------ Findings
 Line B: Deduction -- ____ ---- Data processing --- Interpretation ---- Induction
The gap in Line A relates to What you in a quantitive approach have to relate a testing to, while the gap in Line B
relates to the process in which you formulate the "what" in Line A.

A. A: Question – B: Answering
B. A: Hypothesis – B: Operationalization
C. A: Model – B: Designing

19) A concept must go through a process of reformulation in order to be measured:

 The concept --- > dimensions --- > indicators (maybe indices)
 But it is also possible to follow an opposite process (in survey for example) moving from indicators to
dimensions. What is such technique called? (p.28, 33)

A. Regression analysis
B. Factor analysis
C. Cluster analysis

20) The preoccupation of quantitative scientists in making the world measurable has brought them to lengthy discussions
of consistency in both scaling and timing. The issue is to make the results trustworthy. What concept captures this? (p
30-31, 35)

A. Causality
B. Generalization

many families do not fit that description.) Primary groups are the groups that have
close personal relationships such as family or a group of friends of long standing
association. Secondary groups are the groups where members relate more formally
and less personally.
8. Which experiment was conducted to prove that people tend to obey higher authority
and suspend their judgment?

The correct answer was The Milgram experiment

The Milgram experiment was introduced to the subjects as a study on learning and
memory. One volunteer was assigned the role of a 'teacher' and the other was the
'learner'. They were put in separate rooms and the 'teacher' was presented with a
desk on which stood the shock generator. Every time the 'learner' answered the
question wrong, the 'teacher' had to increase the shock level used on the 'learner'.
The 'learner' did not really receive the shocks but was told to make the sounds of
discomfort and pain as the 'teacher' increased the voltage. The experiment showed
that every 'teacher' went at least to 135-volt shock, 75% gave at least 300 volts, and
63% gave the maximum possible 450 volts regardless of the fact that the 'learner'
protested and screamed in pain.

9. Consensus theories is a group of theories based on the assumption that conflict is an

important and permanent feature of society.
