Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Theories are used to organize observations and guide the testing of hypotheses in social psychology. This means that the correct order of the sequence is to first organize observations into a theoretical framework or model, and then use this framework to make predictions and generate hypotheses that can be empirically tested. Option A is incorrect because testing hypotheses comes after organizing observations into a theoretical framework. Option C is incorrect because "objectification" is not a common term used in social psychology, and it is not clear how it relates to the process of developing and testing theories. Option D is incorrect because "refuting" hypotheses is only one part of the scientific process, and does not capture the full range of activities involved in developing and testing social psychological theories.
