The Design Follows the Question

Captions available

The idea

The design is chosen to answer the study's questions or test its hypothesis, not selected first and fitted to whatever question it suits.

In practice

A question about meaning answered qualitatively, and one about effect answered by a trial.

Where people slip

Unit 02 established that question type drives design. Here the same rule governs the person building the study.
