Question

Given the following portion of a research manuscript, "Three-hundred and sixty students were asked about their attitudes toward school. Findings indicate positive attitudes in the lower grades and more negative attitudes as learners age." What type of study does this suggest was conducted?

Answer 1

Answer: This is a survey

Step-by-step explanation:

A survey occurs when a researcher has a particular topic that she or he wants to know or wants to see how people feel or react to that topic.

In the above instance the researcher wanted to know the attitude of students towards school and he conducted a survey from lower grade to upper grade.

For a researcher to obtain a much more reliable and realistic information he has to gather it from a large number of participants or people hence in this case the large number of students that we see.
