PHC 6700 Exam 1 questions well
answered A+ graded
scientific inquiry - correct answer ✔✔use of systematic experiments and logic to explain observed
phenomena
empiricism - correct answer ✔✔knowledge is gathered from observation and experimentation. good
research questions must be testable
replicability - correct answer ✔✔a one time observation of an effect is not sufficient. results from on
researcher/group should be replicated by other scientists/research groups. replication of results provide
evidence to support a hypothesis
objectivity - correct answer ✔✔not based on the feelings or wants of the researcher. assumptions,
definitions, and methods should be clear
