Discussion
Select the correct research design indicated by the following characteristics :
(i) Describes the accurate features of a phenomenon.
(ii) Intends to find out the incidence of relationships between certain variables.
(iii) Makes certain specific predictions.
Answer: B
The characteristics described, an accurate account of a phenomenon, finding the incidence of relationships between variables and making specific predictions, are those of a descriptive research design.
An exploratory design aims at insight and the formulation of a problem, with no firm predictions. A diagnostic design looks for the cause of a problem, and an informal experimental design uses a simple control. So only descriptive research design fits all three characteristics.
