Experimental research design is the one that is conducted in a controlled setting with corresponding research
treatment among the options you provided. The other three, correlational, survey, and ex post facto are not
conducted in a controlled setting.

Correlational research design is used to identify the relationship between two or more variables, but it doesn't
establish causality.

Survey research design is used to gather information from a sample of individuals through self-report methods such
as questionnaires or interviews.

Ex post facto research design is used to examine the relationship between variables after an event has occurred, so
the researcher can not manipulate any variable.

Quasi-experimental research does not involve random assignment of participants to different groups, and the
researcher does not have as much control over the assignment of participants to groups. Instead, participants are
usually assigned to groups based on some pre-existing characteristic or condition.

The main objective of using stratified random sampling is to ensure that the sample is representative of the
population with respect to the stratification variable.

Predictive validity refers to the ability of a research instrument to predict a future outcome or behavior. For
example, a test that measures math skills would have predictive validity if it is able to predict future math
performance.

Criterion validity refers to the degree to which a research instrument correlates with a criterion or gold standard. For
example, a test that measures math skills would have criterion validity if it correlates with a math test that is
considered to be a gold standard.

Content validity refers to the degree to which a research instrument covers all aspects of a construct or topic that it
is supposed to measure. For example, a math test would have content validity if it covers all the important math
concepts that a student should know.

Face validity refers to the degree to which a research instrument appears to measure what it is supposed to
measure. For example, a math test would have face validity if it appears to measure math skills to the average
person.

Likert scale is a type of rating scale that consists of several declarative statements that express a viewpoint on a
topic.

The statistical technique used to test the relationship between two continuous variables is called "Pearson's
correlation coefficient" or "Pearson's r".

In a two-tailed test, the Null hypothesis should be rejected when the test value falls in any of the two critical regions.

Alternative hypothesis, is an assumption that is tested against the Null hypothesis.

Type I error, is the error of rejecting a Null hypothesis when it is true.

Type II error, is the error of failing to reject a Null hypothesis when it is false.

In presenting the conclusion of the study, the researcher should be guided by the Research Questions

The indicator of a good research instrument when items are arranged from simple to complex is Sequential

"Radical" is not a characteristic or requirement for the research process, it is a term that is used in different fields to
describe various concepts and ideas, but it is not commonly used to describe the research process.
