I will pay for the following article Research Variables. The work is to be 3 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. In most cases, when the researcher is undertaking a traditional research that would not involve participants from different cultural setting, the way of going about the research variables are often straight forward and require no strict denotations. However as soon as the research happens to be a multicultural research and the researcher has to employ a multicultural research methodology, there are a lot of restrictions and ethical considerations that need to be made (Saunders, 2007). Two of such comparative and contrasting contexts of research variables are discussed below. Measurement Instruments In both multicultural and traditional research methodologies, the researcher designs a number of measurement instruments that helps in the data collection process. Depending on whether or not the researcher is conducting primary research for the traditional or multicultural research, the measurement instruments that are used are different and varying. In most cases however, the researcher would either use a questionnaire or an interview as instruments for data collection from respondents. In most cases, it is advanced that the researcher uses interview if the research is a qualitative research and also use questionnaire if the research is a quantitative research (Salina, 2002). The difference however is that with traditional research, the researcher is sure to ask general questions in both the questionnaire and the interview. These questions may be very broad and cover a wide range of issues. However for a multicultural research, the researcher becomes limited in a number of ways in terms of the structuring and design of questions. For instance, the researcher is required to ensure a very high degree of courtesy and ethical adherence. The problem that this may create is that the researcher may be limited in the search for certain key data that would make the research findings complete and empirical. In fact, in a bid to ensure fairness across the different cultures, there is the tendency that the researcher will be forced to skip very important but provocative questions. This is a major problem that comes with implementation of measurement instruments in multicultural researches. be it in the use of an interview or a questionnaire. What is more, during the use of various researches measurement instruments in the conduct of traditional and multicultural research, there are a lot of differences that exists in the kind of data that can be collected. This is to means that it is not all research problems that can be addressed using a multicultural measurement instrument. This means that the researcher’s choice of using multicultural measurement instrument may be limited by the kind of research problem there is. A typical example of this is a researcher whose research problem has to do with the effect of alcohol on adolescents. Clearly, such a researcher will be limited in the use of measurement instruments for a cultural background where alcohol is not taken at all. Such a cultural background could be given as an Arab cultural setting. A researcher who completes his research instrument. be it an interview guide or a questionnaire may not have the opportunity of applying the instrument in an Arab setting. Sampling The sample size plays an instrumental part in traditional research methodology, just as they do in multicultural research. Basically, the sample refers to the group of respondents or participants that the researcher collects data from directly. In their bid to form the sample size, researcher conducting both traditional research and multicultural research undertake sampling. This refers to the strategy used by the researcher to get the sample size in place.
