Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Serendipitous,or unexpected results,are relationships found between variables that were not hypothesized and not predicted prior to beginning the study.Mixed results occur when some but not all predicted relationships are demonstrated.Nonsignificant results are negative results,indicating only that the study failed to find a significant relationship.Significant results are results that statistically show a significant difference among variables and which help to build a body of knowledge.
