Solved Solutions 100%.
Quantitative Methodology Part I - Answer
The Naturalistic Paradigm: Ontological Assumptions - Answer There is a real world
The real world is experienced and apprehended subjectively and individually
Reality may therefore appear different or have different attributes as perceived by individuals
Ontology in research is concerned with what actually exists in the world about which humans can
acquire knowledge
The Naturalistic Paradigm: Epistemological Assumptions - Answer Reality can only be known as the
holistic composite of individual experiences
Reality is:
- Contextually based (based on our setting and context)
- Subjective (based on individual experience)•
- Intersubjective (co-created through group experience)
Truth is relative rather than absolute
Epistemology in research is concerned with knowledge - that is how do we obtain knowledge, and what
knowledge do we value as being credible
Ontology - Answer Multiple realities
,Subjectivism
Truth, or meaning, comes into existence in and out of our engagement with realities in our world
Epistemology - Answer Knowledge, and therefore all meaningful reality as such, is contingent upon
human practices, being constructed in and out of interaction between human beings and their world,
and developed and transmitted within an essentially social context
The Naturalistic Paradigm: Methodological Assumptions - Answer Strict adherence to 'scientific
method' is itself limiting and biased, therefore 'objectivity' and 'control' are essentially meaningless
Phenomena are best understood holistically (role of the body, mind, social context and interaction)
