The term 'secondary analysis' refers to the techniques of :

  • A.conducting study of seconds and other measures of time
  • B.Analysing your own data in two different ways
  • C.Analysing existing data that has been collected by another person or organisation
  • D.Working part time on project along side other responsibilities

Answer: C

Secondary analysis means analysing existing data collected by another person or organisation.

In secondary analysis the researcher uses data already gathered by others, such as census data, national sample surveys, official statistics or another research team's survey, to answer new questions or to reanalyse old ones. It saves time and money and allows the study of large, high-quality data sets, though the researcher has no control over how the data were collected.

Studying seconds and measures of time is a pun on the word, analysing one's own data twice is reanalysis rather than secondary analysis, and part-time work is irrelevant.
