Longitudinal study is a correlational and observational  study in research field. In a longitudinal study, researchers conduct several observations of the same subjects over a period of time, sometimes lasting many years. The benefit of a longitudinal study is that researchers are able to detect developments or changes in the characteristics of the target population at both the group and the individual level. Longitudinal studies extend beyond a single moment in time. Frequently, researchers meet with the subjects many times on a regular basis, for example every two months or every five years. The length of time is dependent on the topic of the research, the length of the study, and the age of the subjects. The identifying feature of longitudinal research is studying one group of individuals over time.

                A cohort study is a subset of the longitudinal study because it observes the effect on a specific  group of people over time. Quite often, a longitudinal study is an extended case study, observing individuals over long periods, and is a purely qualitative undertaking.

Types of Longitudinal Research

There are three major types of longitudinal studies:

1)      Panel Study: Involves sampling a cross-section of individuals.

2)      Cohort Study: Involves selecting a group based on a specific event such as birth, geographic location or historical experience.

3)      Retrospective Study: Involves looking to the past by looking at historical information such as medical records.

  Advantage of Longitudinal Research

1)The primary benefit of longitudinal research is its ability to give researchers a look at changes in         variables over times.Other types of studies cannot do this to any sort of comparable extent.

2) Longitudinal studies are often employed in studies that focus on development related topics.

3) Longitudinal studies are also used in studies that focus on issues pertaining to human lifespans.

4) It can show age related change or continuity avoids confounding age with cohort effects

5) Longitudinal studies are very interesting and can reveal fascinating trends among samples.

6) High in validity - people usually do not remember past events and if they were asked about their past, they would not remember.

7) Picking up long-term changes.

 Disadvantage of Longitudinal Research

1) Its time consuming and expensive.

2) It presents problem of attrition.bias in sample and effects of repeated testing.

3) Results may be valid only for cohort tested or sample studied.

4) Longitudinal studies are typically restricted to a small group of subjects; this makes it hard to generate results that can be generalized to the overall population.

5)  The possibility that subjects could remove themselves from the study at some point. This makes the sample size even smaller and somewhat defeats the purpose of randomization (ensuring that the sample represents a random selection of members of the larger population).

6)Problem of missing data.

http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/cross-sectional-designs-definition-examples.html#lesson

Cross-sectional designs are sampled groups taken and examined from a continuum to determine if there is a difference between different sections of the continuum. This is unfortunately a little vague because different continuums can be used. Cross-sectional designs are used to examine how people change over time by using representatives from different age categories.

One of the advantages offered by a cross-sectional design is that researchers don't have to worry about losing entire sample group as time passes or what might happen over the years because the entire experiment is completed in one test run. The defining feature of a cross-sectional study is that it can compare different population groups at a single point in time. Think of it in terms of taking a snapshot. Findings are drawn from whatever fits into the frame.The benefit of a cross-sectional study design is that it allows researchers to compare many different variables at the same time.

Advantage  of Cross Sectional Research

1) Cross Sectional Research are quick and cheap

2) There is no follow up, less resource are required to run the study  and quicker than other designs.

 3) Cross sectional studies are the best way to determine prevalence and are useful at identifying    associations that can then be more rigorously studied using a cohort study or randomised controlled study.

4) Ethically safe.

5) Quick data collection.

6) Attrition is not an issue and it holds time constant.

Disadvantage of Cross Sectional Research

 1) Study is differentiating cause and effect from simple association.

2) There are a number of plausible explanations.

3) Recall bias susceptibility.

4) Rare conditions cannot efficiently be studied.

5) Con founders may be unequally distributed between groups

6) Does not economize on subjects

7) Differences may be due to age/time effects or cohort effects

8) Inter-subject variability exists, making it harder to detect a difference

                Content analysis refers to a general set of techniques useful for analysing and understanding collections of text. Content Analysis is a widely used qualitative research technique. It is a method for summarizing any form of content by counting various aspects of the content. This enables a more objective evaluation than comparing content based on the impressions of a listener.

                Content analysis can be a powerful tool for determining authorship. For instance, one technique for determining authorship is to compile a list of suspected authors, examine their prior writings, and correlate the frequency of nouns or function words to help build a case for the probability of each person's authorship of the data of interest. It can be a useful technique for allowing us to discover and describe the focus of individual, group, institutional, or social attention

  Two Types of Content Analysis :

1)      Conceptual Analysis - analyse the existence and frequency of concepts in human communication.

2)      Relational Analysis – analyse the relationship of concepts in human communications.

 Content Analysis show three distinct approaches:

1) Conventional - coding categories are derived directly from the text data.

2) Directed   -       analysis starts with a theory or relevant research findings as guidance for initial codes                   3) Summative.  - counting and comparisons, usually of keywords or content, followed by the                                           interpretation of the underlying context.

All three approaches are used to interpret meaning from the content of text data and, hence, adhere to the naturalistic paradigm.

  Three kinds of units are employed in content analysis:

1) Sampling units - How the researcher makes meaning; they could be words, sentences, or paragraphs.

2) Context units  - Neither need be independent or separately describable. They may overlap and    contain many recording units. set physical limits on what kind of data you are trying to record.

3) Recording units  - Ideas regarding the purpose of study

  Steps of content analysis are:

1) We need to copy and read through the transcript and make brief notes in the margin when interesting or relevant information is found

2) Need to go through the notes made in the margins and list the different types of information found

3) Need to read through the list and categorise each item in a way that offers a description of what it is about

4) Identify whether or not the categories can be linked any way and list them as major categories (or themes) and / or minor categories (or themes)

5) Compare and contrast the various major and minor categories

6) If there is more than one transcript, repeat the first five stages again for each transcript

7) When we have done the above with all of the transcripts, collect all of the categories or themes and examine each in detail and consider if it fits and its relevance

8) Once all the transcript data is categorised into minor and major categories/themes, review in order to ensure that the information is categorised as it should be.

9) Review all of the categories and ascertain whether some categories can be merged or if some need to them be sub-categorised

10) Return to the original transcripts and ensure that all the information that needs to be categorised has been so.

  Advantages of Content Analysis

1) It can allow for both quantitative and qualitative operations.

2) It can provides valuable historical/cultural insights over time through analysis of texts.

3) It allows a closeness to text which can alternate between specific categories and relationships and also statistically analyzes the coded form of the text.

4) It can be used to interpret texts for purposes such as the development of expert .

5) It is an unobtrusive means of analyzing interactions.

6) It looks directly at communication via texts or transcripts, and hence gets at the central aspect of social interaction.

Disadvantages of Content Analysis

1) It can be extremely time consuming.

2) It is subject to increased error, particularly when relational analysis is used to attain a higher level of    interpretation.

3) It is often devoid of theoretical base, or attempts too liberally to draw meaningful inferences about the 4) Relationships and impacts implied in a study.

5) It is inherently reductive, particularly when dealing with complex texts.

6) It can be difficult to automate or computerize.

Cartoon Representing Topics on Hypothesis and Qualitative/Quantitative Research

                                          HYPOTHESIS

Hypothesis is assumption which is based on reasoning.Word “Hypothesis” is a combination of two words the first one is “Hypo” which means under or less than or tentative and the second one is “thesis “ which means general opinion or statement about solution of a problem.So the word “Hypothesis” means tentative statement about solution of a problem or guess to solve the research problem.

Sources of Hypothesis : Reading Material,Principle of Theories ,Personal Experiece,Statistical Analysis and Other Studies.

Importance of Hypothesis

1) Hypothesis Supports the research to find answer to a problem.A hypothesis bridges gap between theory and empirial enquiry.It makes research activity to the point and destination.Research without Hypothesis is like sailor in the sea without compass.

Referring to cartoon1,the guy on left discussing with the other guy reason behind the early death of their people inspite of the air in the environment is clean,they do plenty of exercise and eat organic food.They want to find out the empirical search behind the reson for the early death.

2) In order to undertake a hypothesis testing, there should be something to express the research and its done using statistical significance.Good Hypothesis are tested using statistical  concepts.

Referring to catoon2, the lady tends to change the religion every day  as the statistician hypothesised that if person change religion everyday,they live longer .

            QULITATIVE RESEARCH AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

Qualitative Research

Qualitative Research is designed to reveal a target audience’s range of behaviour and the perceptions that drive it with reference to specific topics or issues. It uses in-depth studies of small groups of people to guide and support the construction of hypotheses. The results of qualitative research are descriptive rather than predictive. Qualitative research is largely led with discussion around certain concepts or ideas with open questioning.Attendees are encouraged to explain or describe their reasons for having certain responses which can reveal underlying motivations, associations and behavioural triggers.

Qualitative Research methods originated in the social and behavioural sciences: sociology, anthropology and psychology. Qualitative methods in the field of marketing research include in-depth interviews with individuals, group discussions; diary and journal exercises; and in-context observations.

Importance of  Qualitative Research

Indepth examination is done using subjective information and examine some complex questions that cannot be evaluated by quantitative methods, deal with valued questions and explore new theories and ideas.

Referring to cartoon1 , the graduate student want to make a research that focuses on “lived experience of different life” so he/she wants to have some queries on that research topic to get some valuable inputs from the people that would focus as well as get some new theories on ideas to focus one.

Quantitative Research

Quantitative Research design is the standard experimental method of most scientific disciplines. These experiments are sometimes referred to as true science, and use traditional mathematical and statistical means to measure results conclusively.

 Quantitative Research is a more logical and data-led approach which provides a measure of what people think from a statistical and numerical point of view. For example, if you wanted to know how many of your customers support a proposed change in your products or service and how strongly (on a scale) they support it. Quantitative research can gather a large amount of data that can be easily organised and manipulated into reports for analysis.

Quantitative Research largely uses methods such as questionnaires and surveys with set questions and answers that respondents tick from a predefined selection. Answers can be measured in strengths of feeling such as ‘strongly agree’ ‘disagree’ or numbers such as scales out of 10.

Importance of  Quantitative Research

Quantitative Research is more reliable and objective, can use statistical to generalise a finding, test theories or hypothesis, reduces and restructures a complex problem to limited number of variables and looks at relationship between variables and can establish cause and effect in highly controlled circumstances.

Referring to cartoon2, the girl want to evaluate statistically whether the guy is her boyfriend .She used statistic to find whether the guy  is her boyfriend depending on the number of time spent with by the guy with her. She found out that he spends twice as much time with her than anyone else girl. She finds herself as outliner now as the guy dates other girl.The guy understanding her statistics determines that her statistics in irrefutable.

Referring to Cartoon 3 , the dog in the first picture made a research on statistical reasoning that are in dealing with samples of data collected.

What drives Innovation in Organization?

In the last decade, we have seen how innovation in organization plays a critical factor for organization growth and organization sustainability. Therefore, it is very important for an organization to build innovation capability. In this current posting, we would like to present two research papers which identify factors which drive innovation in organization.

Peng, Zhang et al. 2013 identify four independent variables which influence organization innovation namely intensity of employee relationship, employee diversity, quality of knowledge sharing, and IT application maturity. It also identifies employee’s centrality in relationship network, work experience, and education in relation with individual creativity.

An experimental survey was conducted for 167 samples of firm level data for this research. Survey instrument for innovation, intensity of employee relationship, and employee diversity was developed based on framework proposed by Wang (2009), quality of knowledge sharing based on Yang and Long (2008),  IT application maturity based on Peng et al. (2011).

 Correlation analysis, empirical model analysis, and robustness check was performed on the data resulting all four independent variables have significant impact on the innovation.  Reagans, Zuckerman et al. 2004 emphasize employee diversity is not demographically but rather than as a cluster in social network. It also verified employee’s centrality in social network has significant positive impact on individual creativity, employee’s work experience has negative impact on individual creativity, employee’s education background has positive impact on individual creativity, and employee’s knowledge sharing has positive impact on individual creativity. Further analysis shows the result is not dependent with company’s industry type.

 Lewrick, Raeside et al. 2012 investigate correlates of innovation capabilities and innovation success. Literature review was performed to identify key domains affecting organizational determinants of innovation capability which are:  Customer Orientation, Competitor Orientation, Market Orientation, Knowledge Acquisition & Enhancement, Social Network, Responsiveness to Change, Measurement & Outcomes, and Diversification & Learning. It separate innovation into three categories: incremental, radical and overall innovation.

Data was collected using questionnaire from innovative companies located around Munich and analysed using multi nominal logistic regression models with the following result.

Correlated factors with total innovations:

-          Knowledge acquisition

-          Customer orientation

-          Diversification and learning

-          Measurement of performance

-          Responsiveness to Change

Correlated factors with radical innovations are more from external perspective:

-          Customer and Market orientation

-          Responsiveness to Change

-          Measurement of performance

Correlated factors with incremental innovation are more likely not from external orientation:

-          responsiveness to change

-          knowledge acquisition

-          diversification and learning

-          internal and external performance measurement

Critiques for Journal 1

GELATINE: MAKING COWORKING PLACES GEL FOR BETTER COLLABORATION AND  SOCIAL LEARNING

Critiques of the above Journal

Introduction :

1)     Volume and Date of the journal is not stated.

2)      The references referred are quite outdated.

3)     The author has focussed the social learning for only a certain section of  people and were focussed on institution candidates.

4)     The experiment is done on “The EDGE” which is the State Library of Queensland with a system called Gelatine but there is no clear indication on how the system will be implemented.

5)     How using the Gelatine system the social activeness among the user will arouse is not defined clearly

Literature Review :

1)     The public screens rendering the awareness and social interaction among colleagues are not clearly mentioned by the author

2)     The theory on public screen to arouse social interaction among users has been not been experimented before so the author using the Gelatine system is quite first time and till now no longitudinal or cross sectional study have been done.

3)     A clear theory on the impact of the the usage of the software system in public screen has been stated and there is a vague understanding of the process.

Findings:

1)     The author focuses library as a means to use the system instead the author need to try experimenting on other coworking places.

2)     The system seems discriminates among users who do not own a smart phones as the mobile app can be used to study users profile and their interested.

3)     The findings is focussed particularly most on study related matters rather than social adventures which help to correlate the people socially.

4)     The system focuses mostly on a section of people who are aware of using the digital system does not concern for other users who are not aware.

5)     The qualitative analysis were carried out interviews were taken , but the article does not tells us what section of people were interviewed.

Discussion:

1)     The system usage results shown to be very low as 80% and the articles emphases more on the system usage rather than how to make it more usability for the users.

2)      The system implemented seems to be checked by less people as their concern for visiting library is sole discretion of their work.

3)     The system usage catalogue or usage direction has not been put up near the screen so most people are unaware what the system does.

4)     The meeting among the pilot users was not help to describe their views about the system.

5)     The article emphasise for the user who describe about the subject to be more concerned for the subject they are interest in .The user seems to experience lack of user intelligence when choosing their subject.

6)     Sometimes the user experiences some missing subjects in the system that limits the usage of the system.

7)     The user experience irrelevant person occupying the space for workspace who seems obsolete about the subject.

8)        The model system does not cater for the type of immediate type of       problems. The turnaround time seems to be very slow.

9)      The longitudinal experiments as well as cross sectional experiments should be carried out than the understanding of the system will be better.

Conclusion :

1)     The author should find a way on how to attract the co-workers to use the system.

Critiques for Journal 2

R.Ratneswary V.Rasiah - Transformative Higher Education Teaching and Learning: UsingSocial Media in a Team-Based Learning Environment. Social and Behavioral Sciences 123 ( 2014 ) 369 – 379

Critiques of the above Journal

Introduction :

1)     The author started introducing blogs, facebook, twitter and Myspace as social media in lives of millions of people but used only facebook as tool for higher education.

2)      The sample was non-random, taking 120 1st year microeconomics students. A larger sample to include students (junior and senior) of other modules from the whole university student populations would have aided in data analysis.

3)     The paper didn’t have study on how social media help educators.

Literature Review :

1)     The author cited old references from Mason(2006) and Ziegler(2007) to support the importance of SNS for education, even though he said many researchers supported his case.

2)     He used educational theory of constructivism and quoted Bransford, Brown and Cocking (2000) to state learning is closely linked to experience, irregard of where and how learning takes place, which doesn’t support the case of using social media could help in learning than traditional learning. It could just state Vyfotsky(1978) that learning through social networking enhance cognitive and critical thinking skills, which social media provides.

3)     The author stated, but doesn’t support with reference or study on how online learning platform of facebook can provide development of learner-centred, community- centred, knowledge-centred and assessment-centred learning environment.

4)     The social Learning theory of Bandurra(1977) states learning should be via observation and model behaviour accordingly. The paper did not state how facebook as SNS are used as learning platforms for observation by students on other students in the learning community.

Findings:

1)     The questionnaire uses double barrel questions.

2)     The findings didn’t take consideration on whether the students are familiar with facebook’s functionality, or whether the students’ character as introvert or extrovert. The difference in character or gender, might give a different finding.

3)     The findings states Facebook enhance student competences, extracting and utilising information, but no study on how they come to such conclusion. They could have a test or examination on the topic to show student’s competences.

4)     Having a positive feedback from student for each construct tend to create a biased opinion for the reader. Could have an appendix to showcase the feedbacks of random selected students.

Discussion:

1)     The sample size is small and not diversified, with better questionnaire.

2)     The study didn’t take into consideration of other Independent variables that could alter the results, I.E gender and character of the subject.

3)     There is no indication on the frequency on the feedback and survey was gathered. The result could change as times goes when students are more familiar with using SNS for education. Longitudinal data will have to consider internal validity like attrition during the course of study.

Conclusion :

This study is based on the assumption that students are familiar with the facebook platform of learning. The paper could include other social media and their effect on term-based social environment. Some student could be more comfortable on other social media platform, and perform poorly with facebook platform. The sample should not be restricted to only Gen Y, and could have more independent variables like gender and characters to have a more complete study.

The Facebook Phenomenon

The Facebook Phenomenon

          Facebook is the greatest social phenomenon since invention of telephone, which connected 1.32 billion of people, world-wide, with 829 million of active users (Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ: FB), June 30th 2014, Facebook Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results, Retrieved from http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/facebook-reports-second-quarter-2014-results-268333752.html). It had changed the outlook of how people maintenance relationship, which is no longer restricted by the need of direct contact, time zone and distance. Interpersonal communication has evolved from letter writing and mobile to cyber. Its “all-in” platform consists of communication features, like sharing of content (video, music, photo, things to read), self-expression wall and status (blogs) with feedback option (Likes feature) and communication platforms (chat and private email).

          In this blog, we shall examine the Facebook phenomenon using the HyperPersonal Model to enhance relationship with Social Network Sites.

HyperPersonal Model

          Joseph Walther (1996) suggested that interpersonal communication in CMC could exceed face-to-face interaction (Janssen, Ijsselsteijn, & Westerink, 2014), hyperpersonal, with the time to construct and reciprocate optimized self-presentation in a limited-cues channel. 

          CMC users, I.E introverts with less self-esteem or confidence issue (IV), may turn to Social Network Site to create an idealized image of self for social compensation (DV) as CMC allows one to edit and being “present” in the conversation. This in turn may likely increase the users’ motivation (DV) to continue engaging and enhance the relationship particularly when they begin to receive positive feedback from the receiver. This reciprocal process which occurs in all relationships, according to Walther, is intensified in minimal-cue interaction.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gumNCHoUmYY

          We make a study of 2 papers which suggests evidence that CMC can enhance quality of relationships from impersonal to hyperpersonal.

          In the paper by Whitty (2008), although there are theories that argue the lack of social cues on line may lead to more impersonal communication, they have also been evidences suggesting that people enjoy and have been able to form relationship through SNS. She utilizes non-experimental (qualitative) research method by comprehensively reviewing existing theory and prior experimental research which supporting and contradicting the use of internet for romantic relationships, sexual relationships, and friendship. It was found that may be of benefit for the shy and socially inept and socially anxious (IV). Individuals with low self-esteem(IV) had shown greater preference (DV) to communicate via CMC over face to face when compare with individual with high self-esteem(IV). It is argued that shy individual are drawn to SNS as it provided a social distance and a less real environment making it safe for them to initiate a relationship.  

          In the other paper by Kuss and Griffiths(2011), they reviewed the empirical and conceptual insight into the emerging phenomenon of addiction to SNSs. Their research utilizes non-experimental and qualitative research method by collecting related literature with social network addiction by using academic database Web of Knowledge and Google scholar.

                    Their findings indicated that SNSs are predominantly used for social purposes, mostly related to the maintenance of established offline networks. Also, extroverts(IV) appear to use social networking sites for social enhancement(DV), whereas introverts(IV) use it for social compensation(DV), each of which appears to be related to greater usage.
