ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Paradigms - CORRECT ANSWER - Philosophies about what knowledge is, what
knowledge ought to be, and how we discover it
Positivism (includes Exchange, Family theory) - CORRECT ANSWER - - Things that just
are
- Can help humans predict & control some
phenomena and processes
- Deterministic: Cause and Effect
Interpretive (Symbolic, Structural Systems, Family Systems) - CORRECT ANSWER --
Opposite of Positivism
- "It Depends"
- Example: Someone smiled at me. Possible
Interpretation: They like me, They want a date, or
They are just being polite
- It's the book we write. WE believe its OUR truth
Conflict (Conflict Theory, Feminist Theory) - CORRECT ANSWER - - 2 groups: Haves

- Haves do not want change
- Have-nots want change - can result in revolution,
systems changes, etc.
- Conflict allows for change, but conflict is not
solvable.
,Wallace Wheel - CORRECT ANSWER - - Can help clarify how theory is constructed
- help understand how theories relate to
observations and help form hypotheses and
research design
Wallace Wheel cont. - CORRECT ANSWER - LEFT SIDE OF WHEEL
- INDUCTION REASONING
- Specifics to generalizations
- Observation
- Generalizations
- Theory Construction
- Theory
RIGHT SIDE OF WHEEL
- DEDUCTION REASONING
- Generalizations to specifics
- Theory
- Hypothesis
- Design Research
- Observation
Induction - CORRECT ANSWER - - Using specific observations or other data to create a
generalized rule (hypothesis or theory) that explains a particular phenomenon.
- Observation informs theory.
Observation - CORRECT ANSWER - The data, the impact of the world on our senses,
will be colored to some extent by our expectations
, Generalization - CORRECT ANSWER - - A statement of relations between variables.
- A hypothesis is derived from theory, and its empirical
truth is open to question
Theory Construction - CORRECT ANSWER - - Theory in light of the evidence.
- A procedure used to invent a theory, sometimes to
turn a set of findings into a smaller set of propositions.
- The researcher looks for common content and
indications of more general constructs in a set of
varied research findings.
Theory - CORRECT ANSWER - A set of interrelated propositions plus assumptions and
definitions.
Deduction - CORRECT ANSWER - - Using a general rule (hypothesis or theory) to design
a
test or research study in order to validate a particular
phenomenon. Theory informs observation.
Theory - CORRECT ANSWER - A set of interrelated propositions plus assumptions and
definitions
Hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER - - A statement of relations between variables.
- A hypothesis is a prediction that a particular relation
will be found.
Design Research - CORRECT ANSWER - - Decisions about the cases studied,
