1. Which of the following sets of steps, describing the process of the classical
scientific method, are in the correct order?
a.
i. Detect and summarise general patterns among data
ii. Test hypothesis by checking predictions with experiment or further
observations
iii. Propose explanation for patterns – create hypothesis
iv. Make observations of phenomena (use measures, categories etc.)
v. If results are in line with predictions claim support for hypothesis; if
not, hypothesis is not supported or may even be challenged with
results in opposite direction from predictions
vi. Find further support, explain challenge or alter theory
b.

, 2. A hypothesis is:
a. A prediction about what will be found when testing a theory
b. A statement of fact
c. A claim about the world usually coming from a broader theory
d. A wild guess about the world
3. Quantitative data are:
a. Lots of numbers
b. Numbers which represent measures of variables
c. Non-numerical data in the forms of words or pictures
d. Something nasty to do with numbers
4. Qualitative data are:
a. Measures of quality
b. Numbers which represent measures
c. Something nice where I can avoid doing sums
d. Non-numerical data in the forms of words or pictures
5. Data obtained in a scientific investigation can:
a. Prove a theory true
b. Be used in an argument to support a theory
c. Prove a theory true if they are very strongly in favour of the theory
d. Be used as part of an argument to prove a theory true
6. People forming samples in a psychological study:
a. Are usually studied in order to generalise findings to a wider population
b. Are usually the only people that the psychologist wants to find out about
c. Can only ever consist of people in a psychological study
d. Usually do not need to be representative of the wider population
7. The empirical method involves:
a. Testing hypotheses by experiment
b. Creating theories using intuition
c. Accepting traditional theories about how the world works
d. Making observations and creating generalisations
8. The hypothetico-deductive method involves:
a. Testing empirical theories using experiments
b. Creating theories using intuition
c. Creating theories from empirical observations and testing predictions made
from these theories
d. Using investigation to confirm traditional theories about how the world works
