Verified Answers 2026
1
intuitions
our initial responses to stimuli, stimulations, etc.
2
authority
taking, at face value, information from an individual respected within a social framework
3
reason
within the assumption of a set of premises ('facts'), using rules to determine what
necessarily follows
4
empiricism
using natural observation and controlled experiments to obtained data
5
nativist/innate
people are born with prepotent responses to stimuli due to our ancestors being exposed to
stimuli, and surviving (natural selection)
6
general learning
due to continuous exposure to recurrent stimuli in our environment we learn how to
respond to stimuli through a process of trial and error and through available information
from other sources
7
observations
vary in their degree of control
8
constructs
vary in the degree to which we can specify relationship of an idea to observations
9
hypotheses
vary in the extent to which they can be tested
10

, Page |2
Incommensurability
two theories cannot be understood in each other's terms and there is no principled way of
mapping the constructs from one theory to another
11
calibration
process of determining the relation between the output of a measuring instrument and the
value of the input
12
nominal
people, events, or objects assigned to a numeral
13
ordinal
people, events or objects assigned a numeral on the basis of some ordering
principle
14
interval
people, events or objects assigned a numeral on the basis of some ordering principle. The
distance between each numeral is equivalent.
15
ratio
people, events or objects assigned a numeral on the basis of some ordering principle. The
distance between each numeral is equivalent. Zero has an absolute meaning.
16
face
measurement procedures superficially appear to measure the construct that it claims to be
measuring
does your measure make sense?
17
construct
score obtained by measurement procedure behave the same as the variable itself
does the measure conform to what you'd expect of the construct?
18
concurrent
measurement procedures from a new measure procedure similar to patterns to another
measure
