Valid and Ethical Conduct of Research
1. Find a research journal article that is cited in another source. Compare the cited source to what was said about it in the original article. Was the discussion of it accurate?
How well did the authors of both articles summarize their work in their abstracts? What important points would you have missed if you had relied only on the abstracts?
2. Classify five research projects you have read about, either in previous exercises or in other courses, as primarily inductive or deductive.
Did you notice any inductive components in the primarily deductive projects? How much descriptive research was involved?
Did the findings have any implications that you think should be investigated in a new study?
What new hypotheses are implied by the findings?
