Human Inquiry and Science Holographic Overview

Questions for Discussion What are the common errors of human inquiry? What are quantitative and qualitative data? What are independent and dependent variables? What is the relation of attributes?

Searching for answers Human Inquiry: aimed at answering ‘what and why’ through observations and experiences Tradition: accepting what everyone ‘knows’ Authority: judgment of an expert

Errors Inaccurate Observations Measurement devices Overgeneralization Large and representative samples Replication: repeat and check Possibly vary conditions Selective Observation Illogical Reasoning Be careful with contradictions

A Variable Language Variable: a logical set of attributes Attribute: characteristic Example Common Social Concepts See examples on page 15

Dependent and Independent Variables Use common sense and everyday language Dependent variables are determined or caused by something; depends on something else Independent variables have no dependence; they are what they are

Idiographic and Nomothetic Idiographic: seeks to explain a particular situation Limited to the single case Nomothetic: seeks to explain a class of situations Generalizability

Inductive versus Deductive Inductive: Inductive: from a set of specific observations to the discovery of a pattern that represents some degree of order among all the given events – particular to general Deductive: Deductive: from a pattern that might be logically or theoretically expected to observations that test whether the expected pattern actually occurs – general to specific

Numerical versus Nonnumerical Quantitative data are numerical Qualitative data are nonnumerical Both are useful for different purposes Can be used in conjunction with one another
