Recording methods in nonexperimental research can present a number of problems because
A) There are no hypotheses in nonexperimental research
B) Hypotheses are too formally defined in nonexperimental research
C) You may not know how to define instances of what you're looking for
D) Hypotheses are too deductively generated in nonexperimental research

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In nonexperimental research, researchers may be exploring a phenomenon that is not well-defined or may not have clear instances. Therefore, it can be difficult to define and identify what should be recorded. Hypotheses can still be present in nonexperimental research, and they do not necessarily need to be formal or deductively generated.
