it is a reasonable good design, I hope.

just use SPSS 13.0  ;)

Probability (Random) Sampling  \nAllows use of statistics, tests hypotheses  \nCan estimate population parameters  \nEliminates bias  \nMust have random selection of units \n \nNon-Probability (Non-Random) Sampling\nExploratory research, generates hypotheses\nPopulation parameters are not of interest\nAdequacy of the sample can't be known\nCheaper, easier, quicker to carry out\n\nSimple random sample: Each unit in the population is identified, and each unit has an equal chance of being in the sample. The selection of each unit is independent of the selection of every other unit. Selection of one unit does not affect the chances of any other unit.\nSystematic random sampling: Each unit in the population is identified, and each unit has an equal chance of being in the sample.\nStratified random sampling: Each unit in the population is identified, and each unit has a known, non-zero chance of being in the sample. This is used when the researcher knows that the population has sub-groups (strata) that are of interest.\n\nNon-probability (non-random) samples:\n    These samples focus on volunteers, easily available units, or those that just happen to be present when the research is done. Non-probability samples are useful for quick and cheap studies, for case studies, for qualitative research, for pilot studies, and for developing hypotheses for future research. \nVR

How you use statistical tools to analyze your data depends entirely on what kind of data you have and the questions you are trying to answer with your data.  Some kinds of data lend themselves to descriptive analysis, in which you summarize your findings with means, medians, standard deviations, etc.  Other data are suitable for formal hypothesis testing, which calls for the application of statistical tools such as t-tests, analysis of variance, linear regression, multiple regression, proportional hazards modeling, life table analysis, etc.  Ideally, the preparatory phase of a research project would include a consultation with someone familiar with biostatistics before the data are ever collected.\n\nHowever, you can make a start by going to the following website:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics\n\nYou will learn a lot in a short period of time by going there.  But be careful!  Application of statistical tools in biomedical research is not a cookbook operation.  You would be well advised to consult with someone knowledgeable, who can inspect your data and offer advice about how to analyze them.  Such a person can also help you interpret the results of any statistical testing you do.  This is not always straightforward; misinterpretation of data and their analysis will lead to failure to get your papers published, at best, or worse, the misleading of the medical community and the general public about potentially serious issues.

This is a good site on how to do research.\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/workshops/hypertext/ResearchW/index.html

I use search engines for that sort of research. I got this one from Yahoo. Enjoy!

What are you looking for? Can you be more specific? Research about what?

The exact works, but can be cumbersome.\n\nThe best method is vlookup.  It is designed for exactly what you want to do.  However, there are 2 things  you need to do first.\n\n1) get rid of unwanted spaces before or after the last name.  To do this, use this formula in column C =trim(b1).  This trims the spaces off and puts the remainder in column c.  Repeat for the data in column F and put the result in Column G\n\nNow copy the data in C and Paste Special if back into B.  Repeat, moving data from G to F.  Delete the data in columns C & G.\n\n2) You have to sort the data in column B (your lookup column).\n\nNow you have all that done, the vlookup.\n\nin your now empty column F, do this:\n\n=VLOOKUP(G1,$b$1:$b999,1,FALSE)\n\nWhat this does is lookup what is in G1 and searches the range b1 through b999 (change this as needed), it will return the data in the first column (you can get back another column's data if you wish - you have to use multiple columns after the first ,) and it looks for an exact match (this is the "FALSE")\n\nRepeat for each row.

I doubt that you can.  Use MINTAB or SPSS.

Quantitative methodologies... statistical analysis?   How many pages allowed on here... there are books and books about it... try reading literature on the above... infinite (well almost!) sources available on line, at the library and in book shops

I'd use the vlookup function.\nInsert another column between the 2 you have, then (thinking that you'll have column headers) in b2 =vlookup(a2,C:C,1,false) this will bring back the value if you have it in the second set (which should now be in col C). Paste it to the bottom of your data set.\nCopy the formula into col D, & paste down.\nI'd then sort by col B then by D. What's matched is good, what isn't is unique to the column.\nHope this helps

1. Define the object of the research\n2. Plan the procedure to obtain the objective on paper\n3. Determine the personnel needed for the execution\n4. Determine the equipment and material needed for proper implementation\n5. Start building the project and staffing it\n6. Start and monitor the research\n7. Adjust if need be and start over\n8. Get the results and study them\n9. Repeat\n10. Draw conclusions\n11. Write the final report.

not sure if you can but here's what i'd do.  on separate paper, list Erickson's overall developmental theory(ies) and on another paper, list the ecological systems theory.  by using the cross-matching process, and by the standards you set or were set for you, see if you can match 5 or more out of, say, 10. if you can do that, you're on a (buttered) roll.  if not, you're toast!

by being honest :)\ntry downloading criteria sheets to work from\n(they have been specially formulated to assess different areas)

It sounds like you want to use VLOOKUP
