Haan & Duckworth (2012) present a unique way of studying executive-coaching outcomes through the analysis of existing quantitative studies. An investigation of the quantitative research design, analysis, and results will allow one to gain a better understanding of the quantitative research process. The foundation of the entire study starts with the strength and thought placed into how the research is designed. Quantitative Research Design Quantitative research typically involves methods that are expressed in the form of variables with the collection of data that involves numbers, closed-ended questions, graphs, and charts (Research Methodology, 2014). Haas & Duckworth (2012) research design differs from the conventional quantitative research study since it involves the review of numerous quantitative research study articles and provides a detailed overview of their findings. The main thrust of this research design is to draw a comparison from the extremely vast amount of meticulously documented studies of large effective size that psychotherapy is beneficial, thus drawing parallels to executive-coaching’s similar benefits (Hass & Duckworth, 2012). This correlational research design included boundary conditions of approximate proper design with desirable effectiveness ratings, exclusion of influence of the client or coaches, a control group, and an N value large enough to provide statically qualifying data (Hass & Duckworth, 2012). These aspects together allow the collection of data that can then be analyzed. Analysis In their review of quantitative studies Haas & Duckworth (2012) provide detailed assessments of the statistical data that was presented in the studies that met the design criteria they outlined in the research d... ... middle of paper ... ...nce of Haas and Duckworth (2012) conjecture that executive-coaching is an effect.

  • The Field of Social Work and Evidence-Based-Practice

    767 Words  | 2 Pages

    The writings of advocates of EBP demonstrate that a shift is taking place in the social work field towards a more integrated approach where “social work is an applied, empirically grounded social and cultural science aiming at both causal explanation and interpretive understanding” (Otto & Zeigler, 2008, p. 273). Talking about the limits of RCTs they suggest that “Typically, the experimental design is not able to control for the effects of worker-client dynamics and client characteristics that are not clearly defined, understood or measurable” (Cnaan & Dichter, 2008 p. 281). They go on to say: that there is a need for some sort of feedback process where the fit between the practice needs and the effectiveness of the intervention are actually studied. However it is all too common for social work practice and research to be carried out ‘in silo’ form “where the EBP processes are followed up, evaluated, and connected too rarely” (Cnaan & Dichter, 2008 p. 289).

  • Research Methodology: Qualitative Methods of Data Collection

    1727 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the previous chapters I discussed the problem of the lack of healthy eating promotion programs in schools are leaving parents and students uneducated about how to purchase healthy items which is leading to childhood obesity. I also discussed how the problem is being addressed, as well as the theory of social constructionism. In this chapter, I will discuss the specific methodology I plan to use and the three different types of data collection I plan to employ to carry out my study. This study will use a qualitative approach to study and address the issue of the lack of healthy eating promotion in schools. The three types of data collection I plan to use are: direct observation, focus groups and a questionnaire. These methods will be clarified later in this chapter.

    There are some key distinctions between Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) in a psychotherapeutic context and a medical context. There are key differences between the design of an RCT to evaluate a new drug and an RCT to evaluate a new form of couples’ therapy. However, it is important to begin by defining and understanding the importance of RCT in research (O'Brien, 2013).

    Qualitative data analysis is the process of transforming data into information, information into understanding and understanding into knowledge (Davenport & Prusak, 1998).

The research acts as the primary research tool, and must be able to sustain composer throughout the entire study. In addition, the researcher must be able to pay attention to the small details of the study, without losing sight of the big picture of the study (Chenail, 2012).
