of evidence

knowledge that will solve a clinical problem.

Descriptive research answers: ✔Correct Answer-"What is it?"

Predictive research aims to: ✔Correct Answer-Forecast precise relationships between
dimensions of phenomena or differences between groups "when" the phenomena will occur

Quantitative research: ✔Correct Answer-- Views world as objective
- Collects empirical evidence (evidence gathered through the 5 senses)
- Uses deductive reasoning (thinking that moves from the general to the particular)
- Role of researcher is controlled and structured

Qualitative research: ✔Correct Answer-- Views world as not objective
- Collects detailed descriptions of meanings that explain human behaviors
- Uses inductive reasoning (thinking that moves from the particular to the general)
