Which of the following research approaches suggests that theory is an outcome of research?
ADeductive approach
BInductive approach ✓ Correct
CQuantitative approach
DCross-sectional approach
Correct answer: (B) Inductive approach — Theory as an outcome of research describes the inductive approach, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Theory as an outcome of research describes the inductive approach, so that is the answer.
★The inductive approach begins by collecting data.
★It then develops a theory from the patterns observed in that data.
★So theory is built up from the ground, as an outcome of the research.
★The deductive approach instead starts from theory and tests it.
★So the approach where theory is an outcome is the inductive approach.
