How should researchers proceed when results do not meet expected outcomes or are not consistent with the theories addressed? Give an example.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: The researchers may need to propose alternative explanations when the results do not meet expected outcomes or are not consistent with the theories addressed. It is important that the researchers systematically address any results in which there is some discrepancy from what was expected based on other research or based on the hypotheses presented. In addition, this analysis should include speculation regarding why such alternative findings were obtained.
