INTEGRATION:
ACTIVITY 1: Importance of Quantitative Research Across Fields:
Do a research on the importance of quantitative research across the following fields.

1. Anthropology - It can be used to establish methods that will help us find the bigger picture,
create demographic characterizations that will be helpful when understanding how a specific
society is organized, or organize reactions and opinions towards some critical topics in ways
that we can be sure that it is veridical among the society (for example, religious or political
affiliations). https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-importance-of-quantitative-research-in-
anthropology
2. Communication - It provides practical, user-friendly coverage of how to use statistics, how
to interpret SPSS printouts, how to write results, and how to assess whether the assumptions
of various procedures have been met. Providing a strong conceptual orientation to techniques
and procedures that range from the "moderately basic" to "highly advanced," the book
provides practical tips and suggestions for quantitative communication scholars of all
experience levels.
In addition to important foundational information, each chapter that covers a specific
statistical procedure includes suggestions for interpreting, explaining, and presenting results;
realistic examples of how the procedure can be used to answer substantive questions in
communication; sample SPSS printouts; and a detailed summary of a published
communication journal article using that procedure.

Features

· Engaged Research application boxes stimulate thought and discussion, illustrating how
particular research methods can be used to answer very practical, civic-minded questions.

· Realistic examples at the beginning of each chapter show how the chapter's procedure could be
used to answer a substantive research question.

· Examples and application activities geared toward the emerging trend of service learning
encourage students to do projects oriented toward their community or campus.

· Summaries of journal articles demonstrate how to write statistical results in APA style and
illustrate how real researchers use statistical procedures in a wide variety of contexts, such as
tsunami warnings, date requests, and anti-drug public service announcements.

· How to Decipher Figures show students how to "read" the statistical shorthand presented in the
quantitative results of an article and also, by implication, show them how to write up results .
Quantitative Research in Communication is ideal for courses in Quantitative Methods in
Communication, Statistical Methods in Communication, Advanced Research Methods
(undergraduate), and Introduction to Research Methods (Graduate) in departments of
communication, educational psychology, psychology, and mass communication. (

3. Medical Education - the findings will reflect the reliability and validity (psychometric
characteristics) of the measured outcomes or dependent variables (such as changes in
knowledge, skills, or attitudes) used to assess the effectiveness of the medical educat ion
intervention (the independent variable of
interest). https://oxfordmedicine.com/view/10.1093/med/9780199652679.001.0001/med-
9780199652679-chapter-53
4. Behavioral Sciences - quantitative research in the behavioral science area involves
showing evidence to support or refute hypotheses related to how people make judgments and
decisions. https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-importance-of-quantitative-research-of-
behavioral-science
5. Education and Psychology - Quantitative research in education provides numerical data
that can prove or disprove a theory, and administrators can easily share the number-based
results with other schools and districts. https://www.mvorganizing.org/what-is-the-

ASSIGNMENT/ ENHANCEMENT:
Per group, discuss what will be your research topic. Choose 3 sample research
topics which are best in your group. Much better if it is aligned with your chosen course.
