What is the relationship between induction and deduction?
What is the relationship between induction and deduction?
- Induction forms general principles from specific observations; deduction tests whether the expected pattern actually occurs (correct)
- Induction develops hypotheses from theories; deduction forms empirical generalizations
- Induction begins with a clearly defined research problem; deduction develops general principles from specific observations
- Induction moves from the general to the specific; deduction moves from the particular to the general

Study Notes
Inductive Model
- Begins with specific observations and data to develop broader generalizations and theories
- Often used in exploratory research where little is known about a topic
- Involves moving from specific to general
Deductive Model
- Starts with general principles or theories and applies them to specific situations to test their validity
- Used in confirmatory research where hypotheses are tested against empirical data
- Involves moving from general to specific
Relationship between Induction and Deduction
- These models are complementary and often used together in a research process
- Inductive reasoning can generate new hypotheses that can then be tested deductively
Stating Research Objectives Clearly
- Research objectives should be clearly stated and unambiguous to guide the research process and ensure that findings are relevant
- Objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART)
The Purpose of the Deductive Model
- To test existing theories and hypotheses using empirical data
- To confirm or refute prior knowledge
- To provide evidence for a particular claim or theory
