These is glossary of research key terms. This glossary is intended as an aid to

somewhat intimidating. While it is impossible to cover all the terms
that can be confusing, this document briefly defines some of the more
common terms and concepts. | |

| Term | Definition |
| Credibility | with its connotations of 'truth', credibility can be compared with internal validity in positivist research. A study's credibility is said to be confirmed when the reader recognises the situation described by a research study as closely related to their own experience (sometimes referred to as confirmability). |
| Criterion-related validity | Requires the researcher to identify a relevant criterion or 'gold standard', which is itself reliable and valid, to provide an independent check of the new measure (i.e. to compare the results from a well-established and a new measuring instrument). |
| Cross-Sectional Study | 1. A cross-sectional study is where we collect data only once from each unit of analysis. For example, if we want to examine the effects of age on attitude towards abortion, we collect attitude data from people of all ages, then see if there is a correlation between age and attitude. This is the opposite of a longitudinal study, where you take a set of young people, then measuring their attitude towards abortion every few years as they get older. 2. a study that includes data gathered at one point in time. |
| Crosstabulation | Table showing the number of cases in each combination of categories of the column and row variables (same as contingency table). |
| Data | 1. The outcome of measurement. The set of values or codes that record what was observed, such as the blood pressure of 100 people. 2. information organized for analysis. (It is a plural noun. Although it is often used with a singular construction in casual speech, the singular is datum). 3. Values, numerical or symbolic, that represent observations for a variable. |
| Data Primer | Berdasarkan pendapat Umar (1999: 43). menyatakan bahwa data primer merupakan data yang didapat dari sumber pertama baik individu atau perorangan seperti hasil dari hasil pengisian kuesioner yang biasa dilakukan oleh peneliti. Data primer dalam penelitian ini merupakan data yang diperoleh secara langsung dari jawaban responden melalui penyebaran kuesioner. |
| Data saturation | The point at which data collection can cease. This point of closure is arrived at when the information that is being shared with the researcher becomes repetitive and contains no new ideas, so the researcher can be reasonably confident that the inclusion of additional participants is unlikely to generate any new ideas. (Sometimes simply referred to as saturation.) |
