The use of Triangulation in research methods,

    The purpose of this assignment is to examine the use of Triangulation in research methods, and just how useful it can be to incorporate different methods of data collection into the same study. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLXCCcqnY-I&feature=related As you watch this video you should be able to see a Triangulation of all Four Primary Research Designs or methods being used to test a central research question. Your job will be to write a report about this research. Not counting the cover page with your name, your report should be approximately two pages in length (1 inch margins, 12 point font, double spaced). This paper needs to be written in a proper essay style and edited for grammar and content. In this report you should: 1) Describe the research being done, indicating which major Research Design is used as the primary basis of the study being performed. In this part of your answer you will need to briefly explain this answer using specific details from the video and descriptions of the Research Design from the book to justify your answer. You will also need to explain specifically what the Independent Variable and Dependent Variable of the study are. 2) Summarize the overall findings of the research in terms of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables? What other variables are being used in the study as Control Variables (there are about a dozen, make note of at least three) to be sure nothing else could be causing these findings?
