Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
In a matching question, distinguish each research method by what it studies and how it analyzes evidence.
Time-oriented designs track defined populations across periods; communication theories examine perceived social reality; multivariate procedures either reduce dimensions or relate variable sets.
Application
Cohort analysis follows a specific population or cohort as it changes over time; therefore (A) pairs with (I).
Cultivation analysis examines how sustained media exposure shapes perceptions of the social world; therefore (B) pairs with (III).
Factor analysis condenses correlated variables into fewer underlying factors, making it a data-reduction technique; therefore (C) pairs with (IV).
Canonical analysis studies relationships between two or more sets of variables or data tables; therefore (D) pairs with (II).
Research method | Matched characteristic |
|---|---|
Cohort analysis | I — a specific population changing over time |
Cultivation analysis | III — perceptions of the social world |
Factor analysis | IV — multivariate data reduction |
Canonical analysis | II — relationships between data tables or variable sets |
Cross-check
Every Roman numeral is used exactly once, and each method remains paired with its defining purpose.
Result
Hence the matched sequence is (A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II).
