Responsibility: "We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams into
reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline,
responsibility, and effort."
Research: "In experimental studies, the variable we alter (manipulate or
observe) to affect the other is called the independent variable. • The variable
we predict will be altered is called the dependent variable."
Research: Quantitative research is..."a formal, objective, systematic process
in which numerical data are utilized to obtain information about the world."
Burns and Grove cited by Cormack 1991 p. 140.
Research: Literature Review Definition: "... the process of systematically
identifying published materials which meet predetermined criteria" (Cormack
D.F.S. 1991). It requires that a critical evaluation of literature uncovered in the
literature search that has been undertaken. Only when the article is read can
its value and significance to the study be known.
