Document Summary
A theoretical framework: general hypothesis from the theory. A theory is good if it generates a lot of hypotheses. By generating hypotheses from a theory, we can prove theories and test them. A standardized procedure: every subject has to be treated the same. it shouldn"t be based on anything else but the. I t should not be varied from subject to subject. no matter how well the study is done, there is always a chance that there is a statistic probability. Have to get the same results from the experiments that have been done by other researchers. If the replication of a study didn"t give the same results, then we need to find what caused to have different results. Everyone has to be treated the same. the only differences should be different is the manipulation. Generalizability: samples are not representative of the population. Biased sample can be saved when we use random samples.
