Explain the differences between method of data collection and research method.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: We use research method to describe the research method we will use in our studies. We may choose to use any one of the following methods: experimental, ethnography, correlational, grounded theory or any of the methods we learned about in previous chapters. The research method helps us decide on the research design and strategy we will use. Then we decide what methods of data collection (tests, questionnaires, interviews, focus groups, observation, constructed, and secondary or existing data) we will use to collect our research data.

In the elementary and middle school grades, Kendra seems to be a bright, well-adjusted girl. But in tenth grade, her grades plummet, and she has lengthy periods of exceptional sadness and lethargy.

a. Chances are 50-50 that Kendra's parents are strict disciplinarians, possibly to the point of being abusive. b. Serious depression is more common in adolescence than in the elementary school years, and it is sometimes the result of a chemical imbalance. c. The negative effects of insecure attachments to primary caregivers in the early years often don't surface until adolescence or early adulthood. d. It is highly likely that Kendra has been experimenting with drugs; more than 80% of seriously depressed adolescents are regular abusers of hallucinogens and other illegal substances.
