The relationship that exists between the personality traits of a learner and the transactional distance (TD) within an electronic learning environment.
Not found-Deduced from the introduction
Lit Review
The author elaborates the focus of the study and its background and examines the theoretical foundation effectively describing historical literature, theories related to the topic and the research outcomes of topics significantly related to the research in question.
Some of the significant revelations found in this chapter are that learning entails relevant activities which improve learning in an environment of a class. Further the chapter finds evidence that psychological constructs like self-efficacy, learner attitude, and motivation influence a variety of learning engagement aspects required for effective learning. The psychological constructs are assessed as being related to personally traits of the learner.

It is not yet clear how and to what extent personality traits relate to the transactional distance (TD) perceived from a learner within the context of an electronic learning environment that is asynchronous in nature.

Research question 1: Is there any substantial relationship between transactional distance and the five factor model in the context of asynchronous electronic learning environment?
Quoted RQ1
Is there a significant correlation between Five-Factor Model personality traits and transactional distance within the synchronous video-based e-learning environment?
Research question 2: which are the personality traits that forecast transactional distance (TD) as investigated using regression analysis in the context of asynchronous electronic learning environment based on video?
Quoted RQ2:
Which personality traits predict transactional distance as explored with regression analysis within the asynchronous video-based e-learning environment?

Sample
The online learning course chosen for this research was developed primarily by researcher. The course was designed for couples in relationships. The course entailed premarital education in a class of more than 10,000 participants in the metropolitan area of Phoenix.
These participants were sourced through internet advertising. The people who responded through direct email and were above 18 years were incorporated. The purpose of the course and advert was to teach communication skills to couples in a relationship under a convenience sample.

Describe Phenomena (qualitative) or Define Variables/Hypotheses (quantitative)
The consistent variables throughout the research are the variables of: personality trait, learners outcome, interaction, performance and attitudes.
The variables help to understand the relationship between TD and personality traits in the context of electronic learning environment characterized by asynchronous attributes. They also help in identifying the personality traits that forecast TD in the same context.

Methodology & Design
The research design was influenced by; research questions, the hypothesis derived from hypothesis and measured variables.
Personality traits were used to establish parameters for making consideration for research design. The considerations in this case...
…believed (Everett, n.d.). Epistemic commitment in some context of knowledge understood by the participants is used to guide any arguments. Each of the participants in such a context is required to uphold the epistemic commitment and reveal compliance as a fundamental component of any argument (Everett, n.d).In psychological theory epistemology commitment would be fundamental in testing theories. Epistemology commitment can be used to minimize differences and disagreements in psychological research. Just as scientific principles in physics and chemistry are used to expand research based on historical understanding epistemology commitment would be used as a historical wealth of knowledge in psychology that cannot be altered under flimsy arguments (Tsai, 2001). This would stabilize psychological theory propositions and standardize psychological research significantly. With epistemology commitment any competing theories can be subjected to the principles of epistemology therefore ascertaining their factual basis.

Quantitative Study Review Abstract This paper provides a review of a quantitative study and determines the purpose, sample, method, findings and credibility of the study. It also examines the interventions and whether there was any clinical significance to the findings. By examining the significance and credibility of the study it shows its value in nursing research. The purpose of the study by Gonzales et al. (2017) was to describe graduate entry nursing students'
led by Venkatesan Prem conducted a research on nurses' knowledge regarding palliative care. This research was influenced by the fact that inadequate knowledge of a palliative care among these professionals is well-documented across various studies on palliative care. The lack of sufficient knowledge by nurses and other health care professionals regarding this health issue is considered as one of the major hindrances in providing high-quality palliative care services. This
Critical Appraisal of Quantitative StudiesEvidence-based practice (EBP) has become an integral part of nursing care, and developing the ability to identify the respective strengths, weaknesses and limitations of peer-reviewed studies concerning EBP represents an essential part of the skill set needed by professional nurses today (Raby & Jayne, 2021). In order to provide some insights in this area, the purpose of this paper is to review the relevant literature to
Designing a research study: Two scenarios Lewisville Health Services, a family health clinic, has seen few people coming in to receive the influenza vaccine. The brochure advocating getting the vaccine that is distributed to clinic users seems to be ineffective. The goal of the research is to encourage more clients to receive the vaccine. Research method and sources of information This quantitative study will distribute a survey to clinic users, asking them if
