Question:
Compare and contrast the experimental and quantitative survey methods of research. What is the purpose, as well as the strengths and shortcomings of each, particularly from the standpoint of internal and external validity, and theory testing?
Instruction：
Begin by posing at least one research question or hypothesis for My research (Article’s topic is Efficiency of An Inoculation Message on Resistance to Persuasion of Related Attitudes); then describe an experimental (which I attached two files name Shuai Guo.) and a survey approach (You should design survey research base on the topic) to answering my research question and/or hypothesis. [Note: Depending on the RQ(s)/H(s) you pose, you may need to modify the wording to be appropriate for experimental versus survey research.] As you present your experimental and survey research designs, be sure to include all relevant information, including
1) research subjects (e.g., sampling, recruitment strategy, assignment to condition) （Find out them in two files）,
2) variables (conceptual and operational definitions for independent/dependent), （Find out them in two files）
3) measures, （Find out them in two files）
4) settings, （Find out them in two files）
5) procedures, （Find out them in two files）
6) data analysis. （Find out them in two files）
(Note: If any of these elements are identical for your experiment and survey, simply describe them for the experiment and then write “Same as experiment” for the survey.)
In your survey research design, You should design an survey research based on these articles。In my attachment, I have hypothesis, research subjects (e.g., sampling, recruitment strategy, assignment to condition), variables (conceptual and operational definitions for independent/dependent), measures, settings, procedures, and data analysis. SO, your paper only need to include where do you change (method, measure, and procedures, and data analysis) for survey.
In your answer, Based on your topic,be sure to address the strengths and weaknesses of experimental versus survey research, particularly in terms of internal and external validity as well as theory testing. You have no financial limitations – but I encourage you to be realistic in terms of time and resources. Be certain to explain why your choice for each method offers the best opportunity to generate valid and valuable data.
Finally, briefly outline what you see as the two or three greatest practical difficulties you expect to face if you were to pursue the research you describe.
