Deductive and inductive approaches in research

Hello, dear students, here we are again with a new assignment:

You have to search on-line for examples of deductive and inductive research.

Remember the example of the monkeys in the zoo and the arrival of the new alpha male, as an inductive approach to the problem of investigation.

Examples, no definitions.

See you later,

Review your classmates definitions so you don't repeat the same dictionaries or sources.
Remember: short, concise, clear definitions. And add your source.

My hypothesis

In class we began writing our research hypothesis.

According to the Merriam-Webster's Learner's dictionary, Hypothesis means:

Hy·poth·e·sis /ˌhaɪˈpɑ:θəsəs/ noun
plural hy·poth·e·ses /-əˌsi:z/

[count] : an idea or theory that is not proven but that leads to further study or discussion
Examples of use:
Other chemists rejected his hypothesis. put forward a hypothesis = advance a hypothesis Their hypothesis is that watching excessive amounts of television reduces a person's ability to concentrate. The results of the experiment did not support/confirm his hypothesis

The assigned homework was to finish and share them in this blog.
So, send them please to comments.
