1. Describe the issue/concept:
Experimental study is a study in which the investigator takes risks in his/her experiment, but has a back-up plan if the risks aren’t successful. Correlational study is a scientific study in which an investigator studies the link between an organisation of people and variables. A case study is a “research method common in social science”. Longitudinal study is a study that involves repeating observations of variables over again – as long as many decades.
2.
What implications does this have for knowledge gained in the human sciences (how does this issue/concept affect our ability to learn and know things via the human sciences)?
Experimental study implicates our knowledge gained in the human sciences as the investigator who performs the experiment may or may not choose to take a risk and if he/she does choose to take a risk/risks, then he/she could choose to risk anything – whether it be one risk or more and he/she may risk some things, but not others. If the risks aren’t successful, then he/she will perform the back-up plan, this resulting in us not learning anything about what happens when risks are taken during experiments.
