4. Explain the relationship between the methods used to manipulate and measure variables and the concept of operational definition. 5. What is the difference between quantitative and qualitative data? For each type of data, explain how researchers decide if the data support their hypotheses. 6.

Give an example of situation that you know of (per- haps from a previous course) in which different researchers or theorists made different interpretations of the same data. Which interpretation do you agree with? What are your reasons for your choice? 4.
