MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Why Are Natural Sciences Also Referred To As “Pure” Sciences?
A. They Are Considered Stand-Alone Bodies Of Unique Knowledge.
B. They Are The Only Sciences To Which The Scientific Method Can Be Applied.
C. They Are The Original Sciences Upon Which All Others Are Based.
D. They Are Not Affected By Subjectivity In The Way Other Sciences Are.
CORRECT ANS: A
Natural Sciences Are Often Referred To As “Pure” Sciences Because They Focus On
Understanding The Natural World Through Independent, Objective Knowledge. These
Sciences, Such As Physics, Chemistry, And Biology, Are Considered Foundational In
Building Knowledge And Are Not Directly Tied To Specific Practical Applications Like
Applied Sciences.
2. Which Is Not An Example Of An Applied Science As Used In Health Care Today?
A. Social Work
B. Psychotherapy
C. Examination Of Care Disparities
D. Pathology
CORRECT ANS: D
Pathology Is A Natural Science, Not An Applied Science. It Focuses On Understanding
Diseases And Their Causes, Which Is More Foundational And Theoretical. The Other
Options—Social Work, Psychotherapy, And Examination Of Care Disparities—Are
,Applied Sciences Because They Involve Direct Application Of Scientific Knowledge To
Address Societal And Health Issues.
3. Roberta Firmly Believes That Individual Experiences Are The Source Of All
Knowledge In The World. As A Scientist, She Acknowledges Her Role As A Participant
In The Experiments She Performs And Does Consider Herself Merely A Disconnected
Observer Of Phenomenon. Roberta’s Views Are Most Closely Associated With Which
School Of Scientific Thought?
A. Natural Science
B. Human Science
C. Applied Science
D. Soft Science
CORRECT ANS: B
Roberta’s Belief That Individual Experiences Shape Knowledge Aligns With Human
Science, Which Emphasizes The Subjective Experiences Of Individuals And The Role Of
The Researcher In Influencing Results. Human Science Acknowledges The Subjective
Nature Of Human Perception And The Influence Of Personal Experience On Knowledge.
4. What Is The Ultimate Goal Of The Scientific Method?
A. Application Of Scientific Results To A Related Body Of Knowledge In Order To
Meet Some Type Of Human Need.
B. Examination Of The Decisions Made By A Scientist To Understand The Ways In
Which Subjectivity Was Introduced To The Experiment.
C. Reproducible Experimental Results That Do Not Take Researcher Individuality Into
Account.
D. Improving The Situation Or Process Used In The Experiment To Yield More Accurate
Results In Repeat Experiments.
,CORRECT ANS: C
The Ultimate Goal Of The Scientific Method Is To Achieve Reproducible Results That
Are Objective, Minimizing The Influence Of Individual Subjectivity. This Allows Other
Scientists To Replicate Experiments And Verify Findings, Ensuring The Reliability Of
The Results.
5. Which Of The Following Best Describes The Aim Of Natural Sciences?
A. Affirmation Of The Importance Of Cultural Understanding By Uncovering The
Common Subjective Biases Of Different Disciplines.
B. Improvement Of The Quality Of Life By Understanding What Helps People Maximize
Their Functional Abilities.
C. Utilization Of Knowledge By Applying It To A Specific Purpose In Order To Better A
Situation Or Change Viewpoints.
D. Development Of Knowledge For The Sake Of Developing Knowledge, Discovering
Truth, And Controlling Outcomes.
CORRECT ANS: D
The Primary Aim Of The Natural Sciences Is To Develop Knowledge To Understand
The Natural World, Discover Truths, And Control Outcomes. This Goal Is More About
Advancing Fundamental Knowledge Rather Than Applying It Immediately Or Improving
Specific Aspects Of Human Life (Which Would Be More In The Realm Of Applied
Sciences).
6. Gretchen And Peter Are Graduate Students In The Same Physics Lab. Their
Supervisor Has Asked Both Of Them To Perform The Same Experiment Using The
Same Procedure And Equipment. After They’ve Both Completed Their Task, They
Compare Their Results And Discover That They Are Nearly Identical. Which Of The
Five Criteria For Science Does Gretchen And Peter’s Discovery Exemplify?
A. Intersubjective Testability
, B. Reliability
C. Definiteness And Precision
D. Coherence
CORRECT ANS: A
Intersubjective Testability Refers To The Ability Of A Scientific Experiment Or
Observation To Be Independently Verified By Different Observers. Since Gretchen And
Peter Obtained Nearly Identical Results Using The Same Method, This Demonstrates The
Intersubjective Testability Of The Experiment.
7. Which Statement Does Not Describe A General Characteristic Of Philosophy?
A. Thinking For The Sake Of Thinking.
B. Utilization Of Process And Outcome.
C. Demarcation Of Wholeness And Holism.
D. Application Of Epistemology And Ontology.
CORRECT ANS: C
Demarcation Of Wholeness And Holism Is Not A General Characteristic Of Philosophy.
Philosophy Is More Concerned With Fundamental Questions Of Knowledge
(Epistemology) And Existence (Ontology), And Thinking As A Process In Itself Rather
Than Focusing On Categorizing Systems Into Holistic Or Fragmented Parts.
8. Repetitive Patterns Of Behavior Dictated By Past Experiences Is An Example Of
Which Source Of Knowledge?
A. Doctrine
B. Common Sense
C. Tradition
D. Authority
