Q

Basic Assumptions of science

A
  1. A physical universe exist
  2. There is randomness and thus unpredictability in the universe, but it is primarily an orderly and predictable universe.
  3. we can discover the principles of this orderly universe through scientific research.
  4. Knowledge of the universe is always incomplete new knowledge will alter current ideas and theories, therefor all assumptions, theories, and knowledge is TENTATIVE

16
Q

inference

A

any conclusion drawn on the basis of empirical data and/or theories

17
Q

Constructs

A

Idea constructed by the researchers to explain observed events

18
Q

Logical interpretation errors

A

Nominal fallacy, the all-or-none bias, barnum statement, evaluative biases of language

19
Q

Nominal fallacy

A

Mistaking the name of a phenomenon as an explanation of it.

20
Q

The all-or-none bias

A

To see a statement as either true or false when in most cases in science things are PROBABILISTIC

21
Q

Barnum statement

A

A statement that are true for almost all issues, situations, or people. ex; horoscope,physics

22
Q

evaluative biases of language

A

labeling language use for objective behavior which makes the science non-objective

23
Q

Inductive thinking

A

“the down-up thinking” from little to big

24
Q

deductive thinking

A

“the top-down thinking” from big to little

25
Q

Models

A

A simplified representation of a complex reality of the world

26
Q

theory

A

collection of ideas about how and why variables are related

27
Q

validity

A

the “realness of science” how valid is it?

28
Q

Parsimonious theory

A

simplified theory which explains the data equally well as a normal theory
