Document Summary

Use evidence from systematic observation as the basis for conclusions. I think that the study had a good population size, but that the age of the children should have been more varied. Kids 13 to 15 aren"t exactly all teenagers. I think the study was testing how shifts in perspective can change the way young adults think about their choices. I would want to know how the researcher presented the data to the students and what facts they were presented with. I would want a control group of teenagers that didn"t receive any articles on healthy eating or food. Scientists do not accept ideas on faith or authority, treat conflucions both old and new with caution. Scientists use theories to guide their hypotheses, state their hypotheses precisely using operational definitions. Scientists generate hypotheses that can be disproved or falsified. Scientists rely on empirical evidence to support a hypothesis. Scientists fully disclose their procedures and results to allow replication.
