Answer:
The scientific method is the process in which, ideas in form of hypotheses, are tested against the real world through evidence which is obtained from observation of phenomena.
Explanation:
The scientific method is self correcting in the sense that, it involves coming up with an idea, then making an hypothesis, then making the observation which shall be tested against the idea. Further there is experimentation to confirm the validity of the hypothesis.
All of the above are testing mechanisms, that scientist use to provoke their idea with the real world facts, in the process, the idea might prove wrong and thereby shall have self corrected.
Scientific knowledge is cynical in the sense that, at each stage, we expect to prove the hypotheses wrong.
Answer:
c. bogus pipeline
Explanation:
Bogus pipeline is a type of polygraph used in situations where individuals need to answer emotional questions.

Answer:
The answer is option (B) Foot-in-the-door phenomenon
Explanation:
Foot-in-the-door phenomenon is a technique of getting someone to grant or comply with a large request by initially making small or modest requests.
The technique is based on the logic that if a respondent (the person being asked) can grant an initial small or modest request, then the respondent would be most likely to later grant a larger request that he/she (the respondent) would not have granted if asked outright (without being approached with small requests first).
Answer:
B). A Cross-sectional research design.
Explanation:
A cross-sectional research design is demonstrated as a kind of observation study that involves the study and analysis of a representative subset from the population at a particular point of time.
In the given example, Tucker is employing 'cross-sectional research design' as he selects a representative subset('a group of 5-year-olds, a group of 10-year-olds, and a group of 15-year old) from the population at the same time for study and analysis(by interviewing them) . This implies that Tucker adopts a '<u>cross-sectional research design</u>.'
