Scientific Method.

The scientific method is empirical. That is, it relies on direct observation of the world, and disdains hypotheses that run counter to observable fact. This contrasts with methods that rely on pure reason (including that proposed by Plato) and with methods that rely on emotional or other subjective factors.

Five Characteristics of the Scientific Method:

(1)Empirical Observation

(2)Replicable Experiments

(3)Provisional Results

(4)Objective Approach

(5)Systematic Observation

Empirical Method

An empirical method involves the use of objective, quantitative observation in a systematically controlled, replicable situation, in order to test or refine a theory.

Seven Characteristics of the Empirical Method:

• Empirical - based on observations and experimentation on theories.
• Systematic - follows orderly and sequential procedure.
• Controlled - all variables except those that are tested/experimented upon are kept constant.
• Employs hypothesis - guides the investigation process
• Analytical - There is critical analysis of all data used so that there is no error in their interpretation
• Objective, Unbiased, & Logical - all findings are logically based on empirical
• Employs quantitative or statistical methods - data are transformed into numerical measures and are treated statistically.
