Question No: 2 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
What does an empiricist believe?
► All the knowledge that we have of life after death can be used in research.
► Knowledge in the form of 'facts' should be gained through sensory experience.
► Research conducted within the British Empire was biased and unreliable.
► Research should not always necessarily rely on the scientific methods.
How do we actually know the things we know? People told us some of them, we read about some of them and others we saw, or felt for ourselves. This is at the heart of empiricism - we acquire knowledge through our sensory perceptions. It follows that the empiricist approach to research is to gather information through observation of the 'real' world and let theory emerge as a kind of conclusion. We should not start out with a theory, an empiricist might say, and find facts which seem to suit. Now, although this discussion might seem a bit too philosophical for some and consequently, a bit esoteric, most social research depends on 'empirical' data. What this means is that most research studies include quite a bit of primary data gathering and are not just limited to musing about what others have said.

Nominal scale
A scale whose numbers serve only as labels or tags for identifying and classifying objects with a strict one-to-one correspondence between the numbers and the objects.
Common examples include student registration numbers at their college or university and numbers assigned to football players or jockeys in a horse race. In marketing research, nominal scales are used for identifying respondents, brands, attributes, banks and other objects.
