Question
Nos. 46 to 50:
Read
the following paragraph and answer the five questions which follow:
The concept of variable is of
central importance in research. In psychological research, variables can be
classified in several ways. Edwards has classified variables in three types –
stimulus variables, behavioural variables and organismic variables. From
another perspective, variables have been classified into two types – the continuous
variables and discrete variables. The discrete variables are further sub
classified as real discrete variables and artificially discrete variables.
The variables in research can be defined
in various ways, the two common types of definitions being – constitutive definitions
and operational definitions. The operationalization of variables is of crucial importance
in carrying out actual research. The tentative statements of expected relationship
between two or more variables are called hypotheses. The research hypotheses
may be directional or non-directional. Needless to say that the hypotheses
constitute to be the powerful tools in psychological research.
