Match the following : Codes : (a) (b) (c) (d)List I List II (a) Research based on futuristic opinions of panel of experts. (i) Case study (b) Research leading to generalization based on samples. (ii) Experimental (c) Indepth research based on data collected by using multiple tools and techniques. (iii) Survey (d) A research carried to test ‘cause effect relationship’. (iv) Delphi
(iv) (iii) (i) (ii)
Each description in List I matches one research method in List II.
The pairs are justified below.
| List I (Description) | List II (Method) | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| (a) Futuristic opinions of a panel of experts | (iv) Delphi | Developed at RAND in the 1950s; experts give forecasts over several anonymous rounds until consensus emerges. |
| (b) Generalisation based on samples | (iii) Survey | Data from a representative sample are used to generalise to the whole population. |
| (c) In-depth study using multiple tools and techniques | (i) Case study | A single unit (person, library, institution) is studied intensively using interviews, observation, documents, etc. |
| (d) Testing a cause–effect relationship | (ii) Experimental | The independent variable is manipulated under control to observe its effect on the dependent variable. |
So the code is (a)–(iv), (b)–(iii), (c)–(i), (d)–(ii).
Hence, the answer is (iv) (iii) (i) (ii).
