  2. Hypothetico-deductive model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetico-deductive_model

    The hypothetico-deductive approach contrasts with other research models such as the inductive approach or grounded theory. In the data percolation methodology, the hypothetico-deductive approach is included in a paradigm of pragmatism by which four types of relations between the variables can exist: descriptive, of influence, longitudinal or ...

  3. Experimental analysis of behavior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_analysis_of...

    A central method was the [1] examination of functional relations between environment and behavior, as opposed to hypothetico-deductive learning theory [2] that had grown up in the comparative psychology of the 1920–1950 period. Skinner's approach was characterized by observation of measurable behavior which could be predicted and controlled.

  4. List of psychological research methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_psychological...

    Qualitative psychological research findings are not arrived at by statistical or other quantitative procedures. Quantitative psychological research findings result from mathematical modeling and statistical estimation or statistical inference. The two types of research differ in the methods employed, rather than the topics they focus on.

  5. Grounded theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounded_theory

    The methodology contrasts with the hypothetico-deductive model used in traditional scientific research. A study based on grounded theory is likely to begin with a question, or even just with the collection of qualitative data. As researchers review the data collected, ideas or concepts become apparent to the researchers.

  6. Scientific study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_study

    According to the hypothetico-deductive paradigm, it should encompass: [1] The contextualization of the problem; A hypothesis for explaining the problem considering existing theoretical approaches; A verification of the hypotheses by an experiment; Analysis of the test outcome. [1]

  7. Clark L. Hull - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_L._Hull

    He performed research demonstrating that his theories could predict behavior. His most significant works were the Mathematico-Deductive Theory of Rote Learning (1940), and Principles of Behavior (1943), which established his analysis of animal learning and conditioning as the dominant learning theory of its time. Hull's model is expressed in ...

  8. Working hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_hypothesis

    In the field of public administration working hypotheses are used as a conceptual framework for exploratory, applied, empirical research. [28] [29] [30] Research projects that use working hypotheses use a deductive reasoning or logic of inquiry. [3] In other words, the problem and preliminary theory are developed ahead of time and tested using ...

  9. Single-subject research - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-subject_research

    Single-subject research allows researchers to track changes in an individual over a large stretch of time instead of observing different people at different stages. This type of research can provide critical data in several fields, specifically psychology. It is most commonly used in experimental and applied analysis of behaviors.
