Controlling for other factors in research is crucial to establish a clear and direct relationship between the independent and dependent variables. If extraneous variables aren't controlled, they may influence the dependent variable, resulting in an overestimate or underestimate of the effect of the independent variable. This could lead to false conclusions and potentially skewed policies or interventions based on those conclusions.
Small or unrepresentative samples, on the other hand, limit the ability to extrapolate the research findings to a broader population. This is a threat to external validity, which refers to the degree to which the results can be generalized beyond the study's participants or settings.
To address these issues, I would recommend being careful in designing your study. One solution could be to use a randomized controlled trial (RCT), where participants are randomly assigned to different groups to ensure that the groups are equivalent at the start of the study. This helps isolate the effects of the independent variable. It's also important to use sufficiently large and diverse samples to increase the chances of the results being generalizable.
Another solution could be using statistical controls to adjust for the effects of confounding variables (Yan et al., 2020). This technique involves including potential confounding variables in the statistical analysis, which can help isolate the effect of the independent variable on...…multiple variables, including both mediation and moderation effects.
Overall, I think the importance of a strong foundation is reflected in the biblical verse Matthew 7:24-25: "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." In the context of research, the 'rock' is the strong theoretical framework that supports the structure of the study. It ensures that the study can withstand scrutiny and contribute valuable, reliable information to the…

Research Participants • Legal and ethical issues relevant to nursing research Any kind of breach done with regards to the legal aspects has the likelihood of becoming an issue for litigation. The usual legal concerns associated with nursing research can be split into three: Ownership of Data: This can be a legal issue for nursing research that is the topic of a contract and can also come about as a result of rivaling research
Research Database Matrix National Institute of Health's Intramural Database Resources Location: http://intramural.nih.gov/index.tml Description: The stated objective of the NIH Intramural Database is to collect and disseminate data gathered from research projects conducted by the Intramural programs of the Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health. This includes studies commissioned by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and dozens of other national health research institutes. The
Research Ethics The little Albert experiment The little Albert experiment is a famous psychology experiment that was conducted by a behaviorist John. B. Watson. The participant in the experiment was a nine-month-old boy and he was exposed to various stimuli that included a white rat, monkey, masks and burning news papers and the reactions of the boy were observed. Initially no fear was expressed by the boy at any objects shown to
Research Ethics It is important when conducting research that the researcher adheres to a strong set of ethical guidelines. Ethics ensure that the research is conducted without causing harm to any person. While modern research ethics began with the study of issues regarding the use of human subjects, it has evolved into a more comprehensive understanding of a wide range of norms of conduct (Resnik, 2010). Some of the different subject
Werhane & Doering (1997) point out that it is virtually impossible to operate in a totally objective research environment. All researchers have a degree of bias. The goal is to minimize that bias as a variable in empirical research. Focusing on conflicts of interest and conflicts of commitment, Werhane & Doering (1997) raise important issues and address critical concerns. The issues of conflict of interest and conflict of commitment are
