6. Functions of Research
Design:
There are two main functions of research design:
1. The first one refers the identification of procedures to undertake a study.
2. Second one emphasizes the importance of their quality to ensure validity of
research.

7. Through research design you can:
• Conceptualize an operational plan.
• Ensures the procedures to obtain accurate answers of
research questions.

8. Important requirements:
• Specify everything clearly .
• Everything should be written in detail.
• Named the research design like:- before and after,
comparative, random experiment etc.
• Should provide information about the following:
Who will constitute the study population.

10. Theory of causality and the
research design:
in social sciences, there are many causes that are responsible for changing a
phenomenon, while on other hand there are so many factors on which we do not
have any control.
these factors can effect the phenomenon.
sometimes there are one independent variable and two.
if you add more independent variable then it makes it more complicated,
expensive and difficult.
All these variables have link with dependent variables.

11. It helps you to understand different set of independent
variables that cause the change in the dependent
variables.
 It also helps you to determine and isolate the impact of
different categories of variables.
You validly, objectively and accurately verify the impact
of independent variables.

variables:
Change in
the
dependent
variables
Change
