One-Dimensional

Framework
STRENGTH
1. can be made to apply too many
types of description

2. Uses definition to break something

into discrete components can be
combined with another dimension such
as size or time. (pre-post)
3. Formed by grouping the sample into
a useful number of groups.
4. Understanding can be attained by
conducting research within the
structure provided by the framework.

WEAKNESS
1. Limited in that they do
not permit analysis of the
interrelationships between
sets of related variables.

Two-Dimensional
Framework
STRENGTH
1. Enable to have a more precise
understanding of the dynamics of the
situation than obtainable with overall
global description alone.
2. No limit to the possible configurations
which can easily be tailored to the
particular at hand.
3. Can make own two-dimensional
framework to serve the particular needs
of our research.
4. Formed by splitting the sample into
three groups representing high, middle
and low socioeconomic status.
