Empirical  Observation:    I will  collect  data  from a  sample of people regarding both  socioeconomic 

status and education 

 

Analysis:  Using that information, I will either see a relationship between the two, or not see one. 

 

Theory:    Based  on  my  analysis,  I  will  establish  a  theory  that  speaks  to  the  relationship  (or  lack 

thereof) between the two 

 

Hypothesis:  Based on my theory, I can state a hypothesis for how future studies on this topic would 

most likely play out 

Two Types of Approaches: 

 

Deductive Approach:  a research approach that starts with a theory, forms a hypothesis, makes empirical 

observations, and then analyzes the data to confirm, reject, or modify the original theory. 

 

Inductive Approach:  a research approach that starts with empirical observations and then works to form 

a theory.
