Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inductive reasoning is used to form a theory or hypothesis based on observations or patterns that emerge from the data. In this case, the study is using social media posts and other data to try to explain the role that social media played in the riot. Deductive reasoning starts with a general theory or hypothesis and seeks to prove or disprove it through specific observations, which is not the approach being used in this study. Biased is not a type of reasoning, but rather a flawed approach to research. Qualitative research is a type of research that focuses on understanding the meaning and subjective experiences of individuals, which may be part of the methodology of the study, but is not the type of reasoning being employed.
