"Applied science is the use of the scientific method and knowledge obtained via conclusions from the method to attain practical goals."
This topic involves applying research findings to practical problems, such as improving mental health, education, and organizational behavior.
Research design: The process of planning and executing a scientific investigation.
Variables: The factors that affect a particular outcome or result.
Sampling: The process of selecting a representative sample of individuals from a larger population.
Measurement: The process of quantifying or measuring variables to obtain data.
Data Analysis: The process of analyzing and interpreting data using statistical tools and techniques.
Qualitative methods: Research methods that involve non-numerical data, such as observations, interviews, and case studies.
Quantitative methods: Research methods that involve numerical data, such as experiments, surveys, and statistical analyses.
Hypothesis testing: A statistical procedure used to test the significance of differences or relationships between variables.
Experimental research: A research method that involves manipulating variables to examine their effects on an outcome of interest.
Non-experimental research: A research method that does not involve manipulating variables but rather examines associations between variables.
Correlational research: A research method that examines the relationship between two or more variables.
Quasi-experimental research: A research design that uses group comparisons, but does not fully control all aspects of the environment.
Longitudinal research: A research design that studies a particular group of people over an extended period of time.
Cross-sectional research: A research design that studies different groups of people at the same point in time.
Case studies: An in-depth analysis of an individual or group, which may involve multiple methods of data collection.
Bivariate and multivariate statistics: Statistical techniques used to analyze relationships between two or more variables.
Sampling methods: The various ways in which researchers obtain a representative sample of a population.
Ethics in research: The principles and guidelines governing the treatment of research participants, including informed consent, confidentiality, and protection from harm.
Observational research: A research method that involves the observation and systematic recording of behavior, without manipulation of variables.
Meta-analysis: A statistical technique used to combine the results of multiple studies in order to obtain a more accurate estimate of an effect.
Case studies: This type of research involves in-depth analysis of a singular individual, group, or phenomenon, which allows investigators to thoroughly examine the intricacies of such instances, how they came about and what led to them.
Correlational studies: This research design is useful for examining associations in data, looking for patterns in the relationship of two or more variables, without controlling what’s going on.
Cross-sectional studies: In this case, researchers uses a sample of people from a population to get information about the population, at a single moment in time.
Longitudinal studies: Longitudinal studies are research designs where the same group of people is tested or measured multiple times over a period of months, years or sometimes even decades.
Naturalistic observation: This involves the study of behaviors as they occur spontaneously, with the goal of investigating the characteristics of a particular group.
Survey research: This design is used to collect data on attitudes, beliefs, perceptions, experiences or behaviors by questioning a sample of a population.
Quasi-experimental research: This research design involves using preexisting groups and comparing them, which allows researchers to draw causal inferences without directly controlling the exposure to the various treatments or conditions.
Experimental research: This is a type of research design where the researcher manipulates the independent variable, and then observes the outcome of this manipulation on the dependent variable, to draw causal inferences.
Action research: This type of applied research is a highly participatory approach in which an organization or community participates in research or evaluation to improve themselves or introduce change.
Field studies: Field studies are research designs that take place in a naturalistic setting, outside the laboratory or the controlled environment.
Mixed-methods research: This type of applied research design combines both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
Participatory research: This method enables communities or other stakeholders to drive research which is important to them, and can involve them in collecting, analyzing and interpreting data.
Systematic reviews: A method of reviewing empirical research literature in a particular field or topic.
Meta-analysis: This is an advanced research method that combines multiple studies to provide a more powerful and precise conclusion.
"Applied science is often contrasted with basic science, which is focused on advancing scientific theories and laws that explain and predict natural or other phenomena."
"It includes a broad range of disciplines such as engineering and medicine."
"Applied science can also apply formal science, such as statistics and probability theory, as in epidemiology."
"Genetic epidemiology is an applied science applying both biological and statistical methods."
"Applied science can also apply social science, such as the application of psychology in applied psychology, criminology, and law."
