Scenario I
Scenario I presents fabricated data inspired by the following study:
Callaghan, J. E., Gambo, Y. & Fellin, L. C. (2015). Hearing the silences: Adult Nigerian women's accounts of 'early marriages.' Feminism and Psychology, 25, 506-527.
The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of early marriage on women's lives. To that end, the authors interviewed six Nigerian women who were married between the ages of 8 and 15 years. Each interview was conducted in the woman's own home and was designed to obtain insight into her perception of early marriage with regard to its impact on her childhood and identity as a woman. Interviews were recorded and transcribed for qualitative analysis. The results revealed that women felt their identities were defined by marriage and motherhood and that early marriage significantly disrupted their childhood experience. Women also reported that early marriage was traumatic to their childhood and something they were poorly prepared for.
-(Scenario I) Suppose the researchers of the study described in Scenario I began their work with the hypothesis that early marriage is a traumatic event for women. They would be using the _____ approach.
A) interactive
B) top-down
C) integrative
D) bottom-up

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The researchers in Scenario I began their work with a hypothesis and conducted interviews to collect data that would support or refute their hypothesis. This approach is known as the bottom-up approach or inductive reasoning, where researchers start with specific observations and data and then develop a general theory or explanation based on that data.
