The video delves into Expos Factor research, a retrospective approach focusing on understanding past outcomes like delinquent behavior by investigating factors such as lack of discipline, family history, and peer influence. While useful for studying unmanipulated variables and analyzing cause-and-effect relationships efficiently, Expos Factor research faces limitations like challenges in establishing causality due to lack of randomization and control. Cons include the inability to manipulate variables, unclear causation, and potential biases. It involves defining research problems, conducting literature reviews, formulating hypotheses, data collection, participant selection, data analysis categories, and evaluating hypotheses. Ultimately, Expos Factor research aims to uncover reasons behind events by examining past actions and their impacts.

In this segment of the video, the focus is on Expos Factor research, also known as retrospective research. The researcher aims to understand the causes of a previously observed outcome, such as delinquent behavior in a young individual, by investigating various factors like lack of discipline, family history, peer influence, etc. However, Expos Factor research has limitations, such as challenges in understanding causality and potential biases due to the absence of randomization and control measures. Characteristics of Expos Factor research include the inclusion of a control or comparison group, lack of control or modification of variables, focus on analyzing causes based on past actions rather than altering them, and emphasis on the outcome that has already occurred. The research aims to uncover the reasons behind an event or phenomenon by examining how and what aspects.

In this segment of the video, researchers in X post factor research investigate cause and effect relationships to gain insights. The key actions include defining the research problem, conducting a literature review, formulating hypotheses, listing assumptions, selecting data collection techniques, choosing participants, establishing categories for data analysis, and evaluating hypotheses based on research results. Exposure Factor research is helpful for studying unmanipulated variables in behavioral and social phenomena, analyzing causes and effects efficiently, and being cost-effective.

In this segment of the video, the cons of exposed Factor research are discussed. The limitations include lack of random assignment, inability to manipulate variables, lack of random group assignment, unclear causation, and potentially lacking a feasible explanation for relationships between independent and dependent variables. These limitations impact researchers’ control over variables and internal validity in establishing cause-and-effect relationships.
