The nurse's research is testing Martha Rogers' Science of Unitary Human Beings. The researcher has chosen to study the growing diversity in the individual field pattern of older adults moving to an assisted living center
The study predicts that, if these patterns follow Rogers' theory and are indeed becoming more diverse, the subjects have a greater chance of adapting well to the move. What kind of reasoning is this nurse using? 1. Deductive.
2. Inductive.
3. Propositional.
4. Grand theory reasoning.
1
Rationale 1: Deductive reasoning proceeds from the general (Rogers' theory) to specific (older adults adapting well to moving).
Rationale 2: Inductive processing involves data that are gathered from a real-life situation and the researcher making a general explanation of that behavior.
Rationale 3: The term propositional statement is used in research to assert the relationship between concepts, not to describe a type of reasoning.
Rationale 4: Grand theories address a broad range of phenomenon in the environment. This is not a type of reasoning.
