To boil water, onc could put a pot of water on a fire Or put a pot of water on a stove top or decrease atmospheric pressure. These are all ______ causes of boiling water. The _______ cause of boiling water is heat
What is "Sufficient & Necessary?" ****Another weird-but-it-works-way to remember this is NECESSARY CAUSE is the Mother Ship and the little aircrafts inside are SUFFICIENT CAUSES. Even though the little plane gets the job done, you need the big momma to make it happen.***
100
A "map" for our research & methods "journey". Nick name is FPoT.
What is "Formal Properties of Theory?"
100
In this part of FPot, we observe & define things into existence, we get other scientists to agree with our definition, we define events into existence to infer causality.
What is "phenomenological?"
100
What are the arrows in FPOT?
What are "Semantics?"
200
While someone working in _____ science might be satisfied with find sufficient causes, the ultimate goal of ______ science is to find necessary cause.
What is "Applied & Pure?"
200
A "bottom-up" logic process of observing and conduct experiments moving from the undifferentiated real world, through FPoT, all the way up to the analytical realm.
What is "induction?"
200
An event is required to have these three attributes.
What is "a beginning, end, duration?"
200
They are inferential & deductive rules that both anchor theory in the real world and allow the three ways of knowing to work together as one strong method.
What are "semantics?"
300
The reasons the quasi-experimental design is considered weak.
What are "It uses the word 'cause' in an ambiguous matter, only explores realm sufficient causes & wrongly splits up reality?"
300
A "top-down" logic process of deriving a behavior of a single case from a general case, working from the analytical world to the undifferentiated real world. An example of this is: If you make a general assumption that Jake Jacobs is a man and a general assumption that all men are mortal then you deduce that Jake Jacobs is mortal.
What is "deduction?" If you make a general assumption that Jake is a man & a general assumption that all men are mortal, you deduce that Jake is mortal.
300
These people define events into existence.
Who is, "Us as scientists/the scientist conducting the study?"
300
The “=” and the “X” signs at the top of FPot.
What are "syntax?"
400
This type of experiment, used by applied scientists, is not to be trusted because it does not adhere to Mill's first criteria. Researchers do not have control over randomly assigning participants or manipulating the independent variable.
What is "Quasi-experimental?" ***note, quasi is not pure science & is not to be trusted BUT due to ethics & extenuating circumstances, there are times where it is the only option.
400
The world as it actually exists without an observer
What is "the undifferentiated real world?"
400
In this part of FPoT we are carrying out studies, describing event characteristics in auniversal language involving numbers, number theory, & measurement.
What is "Empirical?"
400
It demonstrates behavior & brings elements of the theory together in a logical sentence.
What is "syntax?"
500
The six methodological steps involved in pure science
What are 1. Observe & Describe 2. Study sufficient conditions 3. Create theory of necessary condition from results 4. Find unknown sufficient cause 5. Run new studies to examine these sufficient causes 6. Use results to refine theories about necessary causes aaaannnnnd repeat...

You should be able to do this.
Draw FPoT & explain it to an 11th grade honor student. Give yourself the points if you can do this. If you can't, practice with your group.
500
In this part of FPoT, we take our numbers from the empirical world & summarize what they are doing in a sentence form, using syntax, to form theory.
What is "Analytical?"
500
Scream for joy. Cry. Paint a mural of FPot in your room. Nap. Sing some Bon Jovi: "Ooooh, we're half way there."
What are, "Things to do when you finish you midterm?"
