AIt leads to no further research
BIt generates more research ✓ Correct
CIts results lack consistency
DIts results lack validity
Correct answer: (B) It generates more research — A study has heuristic value if it generates more research, so the answer is that it generates more research.
Explanation
★A study has heuristic value if it generates more research, so the answer is that it generates more research.
★Heuristic means serving to stimulate further enquiry and discovery.
★A heuristic study opens new questions and directions for later investigators.
★Leading to no further research is the opposite of heuristic value.
★Lack of consistency points to poor reliability, not heuristic worth.
★Lack of validity means the study fails to measure what it claims, again unrelated.
