- - - - Variables
        
        IV
        
        DV
        
        Extraneous
        
        Mediating
        
        Mediating: a variable that operates in between two variables, in the causal chain
        
        Moderating: how relationship changes between two variables under certain conditions
      - Experimental Reseach
        
        Causation
        
        Conditions for claiming causation:
        
        IV and DV must be related -- correlation basically.
        
        IV must preceede DV
        
        No alternative explanation exists
        
        If you want to study cause and effect, experiment is the way to go.
      - Non-experimental
        
        correlational
        
        Path analysis for obtaining proof of causation
        
        Build a model with paths, moderating, mediating variables. Get eh statistically most significant paths
        
        Natural manipulation
        
        e.g.: demonetisation
    - - qualitative analysis is more for theory generation. quantitative analysis is for hypothesis testing.
      - Multi-method
        
        Various ways to collect data. Interviews, books, experts. Then triangulate
      - Interpretative
      - Natural setting
    - - Test
      - Questionnaires
      - interviews
      - focus groups
      - observation
      - existing or secondary data
