The purpose of this article can best be described as Description Explanation Prediction Control Question 2 Helpful Tip: Question 2 is referring to the “research design” of this article. Chapter 2 of your textbook provides you with an overview of the major quantitative research designs. Chapter 8 provides you with additional details about these designs. You can typically find information about the research design used within an article in the Methods section of the article. The type of research in this article can best be described as Descriptive Correlational Quasi-experimental Experimental Question 3 Helpful Tip:Control in a quantitative research design is explained in Chapter 2. Which of the following is an example of control as applied by the researchers in the article? Using a theoretical framework for the study. Randomly assigning participants to their groups. Obtaining IRB approval before doing the study. Spending more time with the treatment group. Question 4 Helpful Tip:Extraneous variables in quantitative research are introduced in Chapter 2. Additional information about extraneous variables is located in Chapter 5. Which of the following is an example of an extraneous variable that might influence the research described in the article? Being assigned to different groups: treatment and control. Differences in familiarity with phone apps among the participants. Differences in end hgba1c levels. Differences in post intervention personal motivation scores. Question 5 Helpful Tip:Study variables are important to understand in research! The types of variables in quantitative research and an explanation of conceptual and operational definitions of study variables are explained in depth in Chapter 5. Conceptual definitions of study variables are often found in the review of literature section of a research article. Which of the following represents a conceptual definition for the variable personal motivation? Phone based counseling reinforces motivation to engage in self management.

Which of these statements best highlights the significance of this study’s problem and purpose? Diabetes care requires extensive self management. Diabetes is a rapidly growing health problem. There are expected to be 700 million diabetics in the world in 2045. The IMB model incorporates cognitive, emotional, and behavioral factors. Question 10 Helpful Tip:Chapter 5 in your textbook provides information about how to examine the feasibility of a study’s problem and purpose. After reading that information, read the question below and determine first whether the statement is true or not. Then, for those statements that are true, which one also reflects what you read in chapter 5 about examining the feasibility of a study’s problem and purpose.
