Qualitative Research Design

For this assignment, you will build on your assignment last week to further explore how you might examine your research problem within MFT using a quantitative methodology. Imagine the same reporter from Week 4 contacted you again and is asking you to provide specific examples pertaining to the development of your quantitative study. Keeping these hypothetical scenarios in mind, respond to the following questions:

In a maximum of five to seven sentences, please restate the research problem, purpose, and research questions you developed previously and incorporate any faculty feedback as appropriate.

In a maximum of five to seven sentences, please reflect on how use surveys might be used to answer your research questions. Please provide one advantage and one disadvantage of using surveys to collect data.

In a maximum of five to seven sentences, please provide a specific example of how you might use an experiment or quasi-experiment to answer your research questions. List at least one advantage and one disadvantage of using quasi-experiments to collect your data.

In a maximum of five to seven sentences, consider how you might analyze the potential data you collect and factors that could affect those analyses. Specifically, what are Type I and Type II errors? How might these impact your study? What is statistical power? How might this impact your study? What steps can you take ahead of time to help avoid issues related to Type I & II errors as well as power?
